FAQ

This kit is used on select refrigerators from Whirlpool, Kenmore, and KitchenAid. Compatibility is determined by your refrigerator's full model number and the original start device part number on the compressor. Match your model and existing part numbers before ordering, since not every refrigerator from these brands uses the same relay/overload kit.
Common replacement and cross-reference numbers for this kit include 8201786, 2188830, 2212194, 2220475, AP3885081, 2216697, 1177466, PS993073, 2188829, 2188832, 2188833, 2188844, 2188845, 2188846, 2188847, 2212193, 2216722, 2220474, 2220476, 2220477, 8201531, 8201532, ER8201786, and OLK1786. Always verify against your original part and refrigerator model number.
Typical signs include the refrigerator not cooling, the compressor failing to start, repeated clicking from the back of the unit, the compressor trying to start and then shutting off, or a warm refrigerator/freezer while the interior lights still work. A failed relay or overload can prevent the compressor from getting the boost it needs to start.
Installation is usually a moderate repair and often takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You typically need to unplug the refrigerator, remove the lower rear access panel, pull the old relay/overload assembly off the compressor terminals, and install the replacement in the same orientation. Basic tools are usually a nut driver or screwdriver for the rear panel and possibly needle-nose pliers for wire connectors.
First unplug the refrigerator. Then inspect the relay/overload for signs of burning, melting, rattling pieces inside, or heat damage at the wire terminals. Also check the compressor area for dust buildup, the condenser fan for proper operation, and the power supply for correct voltage. If the compressor itself is seized or has internal electrical faults, a new start device will not solve the problem.
These parts commonly fail from heat stress, age, repeated hard starts, voltage fluctuations, poor ventilation around the compressor, or a compressor drawing excessive current. Dirty condenser coils and a weak condenser fan can raise compressor temperature and shorten relay/overload life.
