Whirlpool W10873801 Refrigerator Start Device
Product Description
The Whirlpool W10873801 Refrigerator Start Device is an essential element that initiates the refrigeration process in your Whirlpool refrigerator. It works by temporarily increasing the current to the compressor, which is at the center of the refrigerator's cooling system. This first surge allows the compressor to overcome the barrier of startup and begin circulating refrigerant throughout the device. The thermostat regulates the start device, activating it when the temperature inside the refrigerator exceeds the specified cool level. With a functional start device, your refrigerator can consistently keep your food at cool temperatures. A faulty start device can cause a variety of symptoms, including trouble starting the compressor, resulting in insufficient cooling or even complete refrigerator malfunction.
