Whirlpool Relay, Overload, Capacitor

Start relay for refrigerator compressors that helps the compressor begin running at power-up. Replacing a failed relay can restore normal starting behavior and resolve common startup symptoms. What it does

• Provides the initial start current path to the compressor during startup.
• Allows the compressor to reach running speed, then drops out once the motor is running.
• Common symptoms a bad relay may cause: compressor clicking, humming without starting, intermittent cooling or frequent cycling.
• Installed as the electrical component used only on compatible compressor assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access the relay at the compressor; remove and replace the relay only after confirming diagnostics.
• Dispose of the old electrical part per local regulations.

This motor overload protector helps prevent the dryer motor from overheating by cutting power when excessive current or heat is detected. It restores normal operation when the motor cools or the overload is replaced. What it does:

• Protects the dryer motor from damage by interrupting power during overheating or overcurrent conditions
• Commonly used when the dryer motor won't start, hums but doesn't run, or the motor trips repeatedly
• Works with the motor start system to reduce the risk of burned windings and costly motor failure
• Resets or is replaced to restore normal motor operation after an overload event

• Always unplug the appliance before checking or replacing this part
• Inspect wiring and motor for underlying issues that can cause repeated overloads

This start device is the relay that helps the motor begin turning, restoring normal starting performance and preventing no-start or hard-start symptoms. It's a direct-swap electromechanical relay used on compatible appliances. What it does:

• Provides the momentary boost or switching needed to start the motor
• Helps eliminate hard-starting, humming, or intermittent start failures
• Routes current to the motor start winding during startup then disengages
• Works as part of the motor start circuit to protect normal operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Handle terminals carefully; ensure tight, corrosion-free connections

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
