The overload provides protection for the compressor motor by preventing excessive temperature use.If your refrigerator is not cold, or you hear humming or clicking noises coming from the back of the appliance, the start device relay may need to be replaced. Note that this kit features an updated design that may differ from the existing assembly. Installing this part will require basic tools, some disassembly of the refrigerator and previous repair experience. Remember to unplug the refrigerator or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
