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.
