If your refrigerator is not starting, the compressor is clicking, or the fridge is running too warm, it is often a sign that the start relay or overload has failed. The relay is responsible for giving the compressor the initial boost it needs to start, while the overload protects the motor from overheating.
Installation is straightforward and typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a flathead screwdriver to remove the old relay from the compressor pins. Ensure the refrigerator is unplugged before beginning any work. Simply pull the old unit off the compressor pins, disconnect the wire harness, and snap the new relay and overload into place.
If your specific model uses a run capacitor, it is a good idea to inspect it for signs of bulging or leaking. If the capacitor is damaged, it may cause the new relay to fail prematurely. Always ensure all wire connections are tight and free of corrosion when installing the new part.
