Whirlpool Start Relay WPW10448874 OEM Part

Whirlpool produces a diverse array of products across a spectrum of brands, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also manufacture for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The compressor start relay with overload, crafted by Whirlpool, is an authentic OEM part engineered to initiate the compressor within a refrigerator. Typically located near the compressor, often behind the refrigerator's back panel, this device facilitates the necessary electrical charge for the compressor motor's startup. When the thermostat signals a cooling demand, this relay temporarily elevates the voltage to prompt compressor activation.

This particular compressor start relay is compatible with refrigerator models from brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.

The device effectively resolves problems such as:

- Failure of the compressor to start, leading to a lack of cooling in the refrigerator.
- Continuous clicking sounds or repeated unsuccessful compressor start attempts.
- Temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator that could result in spoilage of stored items.
