Is This the Right Part?
✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Repeated clicking or buzzing as the compressor attempts to start
- Refrigerator compartment too warm
- Freezer compartment too warm
- Both refrigerator and freezer compartments too warm
- Compressor-related abnormal noise
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect refrigerator power before accessing the compressor area.
- Observe whether the compressor attempts to start or repeatedly clicks off; this symptom alone does not confirm a failed start device.
- With power disconnected, visually inspect the start device, capacitor, terminals, and connector for heat damage, looseness, or melting.
- Use a multimeter to check the start device and capacitor only according to the appliance service documentation and after ensuring the circuit is de-energized.
- If the start device tests normally or the compressor still will not start after proper component testing, have the compressor circuit evaluated by a qualified technician.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect electrical power before removing the rear access panel or touching the compressor-area wiring.
- Access the assembly at the compressor through the appliance’s designated rear access area.
- Before disconnecting the old assembly, note the connector and terminal orientation so the replacement is aligned correctly.
- Remove the existing retaining hardware or clip only as applicable to the appliance design, then seat the replacement on the compressor terminals without forcing the connection.
- Reinstall the rear access panel and any retaining hardware before restoring power.
- Follow the appliance-specific service documentation if the connector, mounting arrangement, or compressor configuration differs.
