Whirlpool w10613606vp Compressor Start Relay

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w10613606vp is a compressor start relay designed to restore proper compressor startup in refrigeration appliances. The start relay works by providing a brief current boost to the compressor start winding at the moment of startup, then dropping out once the compressor reaches running speed. Without a functioning start relay, the compressor will fail to start or will cycle on the overload protector repeatedly. This part is installed by appliance technicians and experienced service professionals during routine diagnostics or compressor circuit repair.

The w10613606vp is suited for residential refrigerator and freezer applications where the original start relay has failed or shows signs of rattling, burning, or intermittent compressor startup faults. It is an OEM-specification replacement intended to restore the compressor circuit to factory operating condition. Technicians typically identify relay failure using a multimeter or by shaking the relay to check for a broken internal component.

• OEM-specification compressor start relay for refrigerator compressor circuits
• Provides current boost to compressor start winding during startup sequence

Installation Notes

Appliance technicians and qualified service professionals should install this part. Unplug the refrigerator from the power source before accessing the compressor compartment at the rear or bottom of the unit. The start relay plugs directly onto the compressor start winding pin or pins and is secured by friction fit. Confirm the replacement relay orientation matches the original before reinstalling the compressor cover panel.
