Samsung Refrigerator Relay Protector O/L (compressor overload protector/overload relay) DA34-00004D

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator and freezer sections warming because the compressor does not sustain operation
• Compressor starts briefly, clicks, and shuts off as the overload trips
• Compressor area becomes unusually hot
• Fans may operate while the compressor does not run consistently

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the refrigerator before accessing or testing the compressor-area component.
• With power disconnected and the protector at room temperature, check continuity across its terminals; an open circuit can indicate a failed overload protector.
• Observe whether the compressor starts and then stops while fans continue running; this can indicate a compressor-start or overload-related issue but does not by itself confirm this part is defective.
• Check the refrigerator's stored diagnostic codes according to the appliance service documentation before replacing the protector.
• Do not bypass the overload protector; verify the compressor, start relay, inverter, wiring, and control system as applicable.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
• Access the compressor compartment and identify the protector's original orientation and terminal connections before removal.
• Install the replacement on the compressor terminals in the same orientation and reconnect the wiring securely.
• Do not bypass, defeat, or modify the overload protector.
• After reassembly, restore power and confirm that the compressor starts and continues operating; compressor or sealed-system repairs may require a qualified technician.
