The Compressor Start Relay and Overload Kit is specifically engineered to function with a range of LG refrigerators, as well as select models under the Sears-Kenmore brand. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component is crucial for controlling both the initiation and cessation of the refrigerator’s compressor, an essential element of its functionality.
Signs of a faulty compressor start relay may include the refrigerator's inability to achieve the set temperature, an unresponsive or intermittently flashing control panel, or atypical sounds such as buzzing or clicking emanating from the back of the appliance.
Failures within the start relay typically stem from internal electronic issues or natural wear over time due to frequent compressor operations throughout the refrigerator's lifespan. Electrical components like relays are subject to gradual degradation, which can eventually impede their efficiency.
This kit is compatible with select refrigerator models from LG and Kenmore, providing wide-ranging applicability across different units.
