Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Compressor does not start
• Repeated clicking or humming from the compressor area
• Refrigerator or freezer sections become warm
• Compressor starts and stops unsuccessfully

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the refrigerator and inspect the start device for visible damage, looseness, or heat discoloration.
• Listen for a repeated click-buzz-click cycle from the compressor area, which can indicate a startup problem but does not by itself confirm a failed start device.
• Verify the refrigerator model number before ordering because compressor components vary by model and compressor application.
