Compressor hard to start,and pulling to many amps
Remove the cover off of the compressor connection box,,,pull the old start-device,replace it with the new one,and there it is running just fine. The amps droped to normal and the compressor is not over heating any more.Nothing to it. 15 to 20 min. Time to do the repairs

How does the relay cover come off? (how to remove it to replace the relay)?
For model number Roeper RT 18DKXKQ05
Hello Kerry, Thank you for the question. You just need to pull it off and disconnect the wires. Take pictures of the wiring to refer back to when reinstalling. Hope this helps!

Hi. I found the relay for my fridge but i am worry because the original is 115volt and the universal is only 110volt
For model number ET8CHMXKQ05
Hi Carmen, thank you for your question. We actually only sell OEM parts here, not universal parts. This part is the correct part for the model number that you provided according to your manufacturer directly, so you should have no issues with the part there. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello, i bought the overload for my fridge and the one i received does not have a start capacitor. I had this worked on a few years back by a repairman and i believe he retrofited the start relay? Question: Will the factory replacement work without a capacitor? And if so, how do the two wired with the slide on ends connect to the factory replacements? I am an electrician, so i understand the lingo if that helps. I really appreciate your help!
For model number ET8CHMXKQ05
Hi Marty,
Thank you for your question. This start-device combination is listed under your model number and is designed to work on your refrigerator. We are showing a capacitor listed with the compressor on your refrigerator. Where the refrigerator was retrofitted, you will need to contact Whirlpool for information on how to install the parts. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.
