Whirlpool 8201769 Refrigerator Compressor Start Device Kit

The Whirlpool 8201769 Refrigerator Compressor Start Device Kit is a replacement set for a critical component of your refrigerator. Your refrigerator's compressor, which circulates refrigerant to remove heat from the interior and release it outdoors, functions as its central component. The compressor's start device may eventually wear down and stop working, making the compressor unusable. This kit includes all the components required to swap out the broken appliance and restore proper operation to your refrigerator.  The Whirlpool 8201769 Refrigerator Compressor Start Device Kit comes with a starter relay, an overload protector, and, depending on the manufacturer, a cover. The compressor is started by a burst of energy from the starter relay, which then lowers the current to maintain operation.
