This overload with relay is a thermal motor protector and starter relay assembly that helps prevent motor overheating and enables proper motor start-up. Replacing a worn assembly restores reliable motor starting and protection. What it does:

• Protects the motor from overheating by opening circuit when temperatures get too high
• Provides the relay function that helps the motor start and run smoothly
• Commonly used when the dryer or washer motor hums but won't start, runs intermittently, or stalls
• Helps stop repeated motor runs that can lead to burned windings or further electrical damage

• One overload with relay assembly

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any work
• Handle terminals carefully; verify wire locations or take a photo before removal for correct reassembly
• Test the old unit for continuity and compare mounting/terminal orientation to fit
