W10613606 Refrigerator Compressor Start Relay and Capacitor (Pack of 2)

Easy to replace, and worked like a charm. Crossing my fingers that it lasts a good long time, but just in case I’m buying a spare.

“This replacement part fit just right and fixed the refrigerator quickly. Easy to install, good quality, and saved me from buying a new fridge. Very satisfied!”

After I couldn’t get a repairman I found this product. In just a few minutes my Whirlpool refrigerator is working good as new.

This fixed my Amana Model: ARB255CSL, I was having cooling issues. I noticed that my freezer was not keeping items cold which made me pull the fridge out and clean the coils and near the rear fan, I could hear a clicking noise but couldn't hear the compressor turning on. I found this part to be the exact item needed to change the auto start relay switch. The install was super easy by removing the 1/4" screws, unplugging the unit itself, getting needle nose pliers to remove the retaining clip, removed the bad auto-start relay which crumbled in my hands, replaced with this new unit which was the exact fit as the previous, buttoned everything up powered on and I could hear the compressor turning on. It did take 12+ hours for my fridge/freezer to get back to a normal levels. This was a super cheap option to try before calling in the big guns, luckily this fixed my cooling issue!

Product functions as expected. Make sure to check your wire connectors.

Initially purchased in a panic when I couldn't hear my fridge running after a brownout and intermittent power loss during a large storm. Fortunately it was just in a defrost cycle at first and then after manually stopping the cycle (by pressing the freezer door switch 5 times) I couldn't hear the compressor over the AC running nearby. If it had burnt out, this would have been the third time I have had to replace this relay. For only $10 I am keeping this as a spare and will tape it to the back of the fridge. I just need to get around to testing it before the return period is up... It's very easy to swap out and the price is perfect, unfortunately I just wish ANY manufacturer made a more robust version of this since it seems like a pretty common part that goes bad. In the meantime I am looking for a delayed startup outlet timer or a good deal on a UPS to plug the refrigerator into so I don't have to worry about this mess as much anymore. I would just get a new fridge but the quality has drastically gone downhill on new units from just about all manufacturers.

Its not worth the trouble, you'll be lucky you get 6 months out of it

Fridge wasn’t staying cold and this fixed it right up. Thanks to my husband knowing how to test the units and figure out exactly what was wrong
