Compressor Start Relay 6749C-0014E

When a compressor cannot start, the refrigerator may hum, click, run only briefly, or remain too warm. A start relay with a heat-sensitive resistor controls current to the compressors starting circuit. The assembly may need replacement if its housing is cracked, scorched, loose, or rattles from broken material inside. These signs are helpful, but electrical tests and the appliance service information should guide the diagnosis. Verify the exact model before ordering because terminal layouts can vary. Disconnect power, allow the compressor area to cool, and discharge any capacitor if equipped and directed. Do not bend the compressor pins, and reinstall the protective cover before operation.
