Description
A replacement start device that helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the cooling system can run. Fits units that use a separate start relay-style device on the compressor. What it does
- Provides the initial boost/current path the compressor needs to start spinning.
- Commonly used when the compressor hums but the fridge doesn't cool or cycles on and off.
- Can fail intermittently, causing clicking, long run times, or no-compressor-start symptoms.
- Works as the electrical start aid for reciprocating refrigeration compressors.
What's included
- One start device (single compressor start relay-style unit)
Install notes
- Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or electrical connections.
- Match the part to the compressor terminals and handle the device by the housing to avoid terminal damage.
- Inspect wiring and the condenser/compressor area for overheating or damage while replacing the device.
