Description

This PTC relay is the start device that helps the refrigerator/freezer compressor get up to speed so the cooling system runs properly. Replacing a failed relay can restore normal compressor startup and improve cooling reliability. What it does:

• Provides the initial start boost to the compressor motor so it can begin running
• Stops the compressor from repeatedly failing to start, which can prevent cooling
• Commonly linked to symptoms like the compressor clicking, running intermittently, or the appliance not cooling
• Works as the replaceable electrical start component — not a capacitor or overload protector

What's included: One PTC relay (single) Install notes:

• Disconnect power before accessing the compressor area to avoid shock
• Verify wiring and match the relay visually and by part number before installing
• Handle gently; do not attempt to modify or repair the relay
