Compressor Start Relay & Overload

Compressor Start Relay & Overload

Gary from AR

Burn't connection on start relay.

Exacto knife, wire strippers, spade crimp, 1/4' spades, replacement start relay.

Part was not an exact replacement but works perfect once the spade size is increased from 1/8" to 1/4". Part installs on the compressor same as the original part. Two wire molinex plug has to be cut off and new spades installed. I used the exacto knife to trim the tabs on the new part so the tall connection on the new part can be removed to allow better pressure to push on the spades. One issue I encountered was the unit came on with light and fans with power switch in the off position. Switching the power to on and warning buzzer sounded as well as the orange warning light. White wire was on top. Yellow wire on bottom as it was with the original relay. The compressor kicked on within a minute. I reversed the two wire's with yellow on top and and warning buzzer stopped but the yellow warning light remained on. After sometime the freezer is working normal. No warning light or buzzer. I assume the freezer had to get down to a certain temp for all to function normal.
