Refrigerator Compressor Start Module
This essential module activates the compressor in your refrigerator and disengages once the motor attains the necessary speed. It fits a range of brands within the Whirlpool family, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Furthermore, Whirlpool produces components for both Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Identified by the part number WP2188831, this relay is specifically engineered for refrigerator compressors.
The WP2188831 relay connects directly to the compressor, initiating the compressor motor.
Prior to installation, ensure the refrigerator is unplugged, and store any perishable items safely during the power interruption. For safety precautions, wear work gloves to protect your hands throughout the installation process.
