WPW10448874 Whirlpool Refrigerator Start Relay with Overload

Refrigerator Start Relay with Overload.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The compressor start device made by Whirlpool is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed to activate the compressor in refrigerators. You can find this component near the compressor, usually at the back panel of the refrigerator. Its main function is to deliver the necessary electrical surge to get the compressor motor running. When the refrigerator's thermostat detects a need for cooling, this device momentarily increases the voltage to the compressor to initiate its function.

This Whirlpool compressor start device is compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.

This component addresses several issues including:

- The inability of the compressor to activate, which prevents the refrigerator from cooling.
- Persistent clicking noises or the compressor's repeated failed attempts to start.
- Inconsistent refrigerator temperatures that could lead to food or beverage spoilage.
