WP12555902 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor Start Relay

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor Start Relay (WP12555902) is a genuine part compatible with multiple refrigerator brands including Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, and Crosley. It serves as both the start relay and the overload for your refrigerator's compressor system. This dual function is crucial for the operation of your appliance as the start relay boosts the compressor, allowing it to start more easily, while the overload provides additional protection by shutting off the compressor in cases of excessive temperature, ensuring your appliance operates safely. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a new compressor start relay include a refrigerator that does not start, an unusually warm fridge interior, or a compressor that overheats or runs too frequently. Before purchasing, check your device's model number for compatibility.
