Tecumseh 82470 Start Relay Electrical Service Part

Product Description

The TECUMSEH 82470 is a start relay designed for use in refrigeration and HVAC compressor applications. This relay assists the compressor motor in starting by engaging the start winding during motor startup and dropping it out once the motor reaches operating speed. The part cross-references to TECUMSEH part number P82929 and is associated with the 8200EMBH20 service designation. It is a direct electrical service replacement component typically installed by refrigeration technicians and HVAC professionals during compressor service or repair calls.

This start relay fits compressor-based refrigeration and HVAC systems where TECUMSEH compressors are deployed. It is suited for residential and light commercial refrigeration equipment, including walk-in coolers, reach-in cases, and similar compressor-driven systems. Installation typically occurs during a service call when the existing relay has failed, causing hard-start or no-start conditions. Always verify coil resistance and pick-up voltage compatibility before installing a replacement relay.

Key Features

• Direct electrical service replacement for TECUMSEH compressor start relay applications
• Cross-references to TECUMSEH P82929 and 8200EMBH20 service designation
• Engages start winding during motor startup and drops out at operating speed
• Suited for refrigeration and light commercial HVAC compressor service

Compatibility

This part is identified as a replacement for TECUMSEH P82929 and is associated with the 8200EMBH20 service designation. No additional specific model compatibility data was provided in the product information. Verify fitment against the compressor nameplate and existing relay specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed refrigeration technician or HVAC professional. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before removing the existing relay or accessing the compressor terminal cover. Confirm that the replacement relay coil resistance and operating voltage match the compressor start winding requirements before powering the system. Improper relay selection can result in failed starts or compressor damage.
