Parts for Whirlpool EV181FZTQ11: 03 - Unit Parts

This PTC motor start relay provides the temporary start circuit needed for the motor to spin up, restoring normal starting on appliances with a failed start relay. Simple replacement for appliances that won't start or hum at power-up. What it does

• Supplies a temporary current path to the motor's start winding during startup.
• Drops out once the motor reaches running speed so the motor operates on its run winding.
• Commonly used when an appliance won't start, hums but won't spin, or has intermittent start problems.
• Works with the motor and start circuitry; does not include a motor or harness.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access usually requires removing an access panel—keep track of screws and mounting hardware.
• Replace with the exact part number shown on your appliance or parts list; ensure correct orientation and secure connections.

Pan-head screw used to secure panels, brackets and trim on Whirlpool appliances. Replacing a damaged or missing screw restores proper fastening to reduce vibration and keep assemblies aligned during operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets and trim pieces to the appliance chassis.
• Stops loose panels from rattling, vibrating or shifting during use.
• Used when the original screw is stripped, corroded or missing.
• OEM replacement that restores the original fastening point.

• Unplug the appliance or shut off power before working on it.

This terminal cover protects the appliance's power connection area, keeping wiring and terminals enclosed to reduce shock and short risks. It's a direct-replacement trim piece that restores the factory protective barrier around the terminal block. What it does:

• Covers and shields the terminal block where the power cord connects, helping prevent accidental contact.
• Helps reduce the risk of shorting or arcing at exposed power connections.
• Addresses symptoms like visible exposed terminals, loose or unprotected wiring at the power entry area, or a missing/broken cover.
• Restores the appliance's intended safety enclosure after repair or shipping damage.

• One terminal cover

• Always disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing the terminal block.
• Remove the old cover and position the replacement over the terminal area so mounting holes align; secure with the original screw(s).
• Inspect terminal screws and wiring for tightness and damage while cover is off; do not attempt electrical repairs.
• If terminals or wiring are damaged, replace or repair those components before reinstalling the cover.
