Parts for Whirlpool WC15014Q00: 04 - Unit Parts

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This device is essential for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for circulating refrigerant through the cooling system, thus maintaining the refrigerator's temperature. The start device works by providing the necessary power boost to get the compressor running.

Over time, the compressor start device can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, regular wear and tear, or overheating. A faulty start device will prevent the compressor from starting, resulting in cooling problems.

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling
• The compressor not running or starting intermittently
• Clicking sounds coming from the refrigerator
• Overheating of the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an electronic component that assists in powering the refrigerator's compressor motor. The capacitor functions to provide an electrical boost needed to start the compressor running smoothly during each cooling cycle.

Causes of a bad capacitor can include deterioration of dielectric material over many years of operation or accidental moisture penetration into the capacitor case.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The refrigerator compressor failing to turn on/refrigeration cycles not operating
• Loud humming noises coming from behind the refrigerator
• Erratic cooling performance and fluctuating interior temperatures

This OEM part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Kenmore refrigerator models. 

This compressor mounting grommet kit replaces worn or damaged rubber mounts that secure the compressor and reduce vibration. Restoring proper mounts helps cut down on compressor noise and prevents movement-related wear. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and rattling noise
• Keeps the compressor secured to its mounting bracket during operation
• Helps prevent stress and wear on mounting hardware and tubing
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, banging, or unusual compressor noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Support the compressor while removing and installing mounts to prevent strain or shifting
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid over-tightening fasteners that can compress or damage grommets
