This overload and PTCR combo is a genuine OEM start device designed to support the compressor in electric refrigerators. It plays a critical role in initiating the compressor motor and protecting it from electrical overload. By regulating the startup process, it helps prevent overheating and ensures consistent cooling performance. A faulty start device can lead to symptoms such as the refrigerator not cooling properly, the compressor making clicking noises, or cycling on and off frequently. Replacing this component can restore proper compressor function and improve overall appliance reliability. Installation should be performed with care, and compatibility should be verified before purchase.

Loud clicking noise and the temperature was not stable.
Took out the old parts and replaced it with the new parts. The new OVERLOAD PTCR COMBO was different then the one that we replaced so we called customer service and they told us which wire to insert into each of the 2 slots and it is working like new again. Outstanding and knowledgeable customer service.

her lifts off. Remove cove exposing the relay. There is one wire terminated, with a spade clip, remove it. With a strait blade screwdriver, pry the relay off the 2 post it slides on to. (Don't be surprised if it breaks into pieces, as they are sometimes brittle. ) Slide the new relay onto the 2 posts, replace the wire onto the right terminal, and replace the relay cover & clip.

Compressor does not run
The first component I suspect is the relay mounted near the compressor. I installed the replacement relay and still nothing. I then removed the control board, inspected it for burnt circuit paths or components. I noticed the c.b. relay for the compressor's lead had burned away the solder and there was no longer a viable connection. No
