The Whirlpool Start Device serves as an authentic OEM replacement part specifically crafted for Whirlpool refrigerators. This unit encompasses a relay and an overload protector, elements that work in unison to initiate and safeguard the compressor upon activation of the refrigerator, thus ensuring an efficient start-up. This component is compatible not only with Whirlpool but also with other brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
Replacing the start device can effectively address the following common refrigerator issues:
- Failure to maintain optimal cooling
- Audible clicking from the compressor
- Frequent cycling on and off

- Presence of burning signs or melting on internal parts
This start device is also applicable in appliances branded as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, in addition to those produced for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
