Whirlpool wpw10399283 Start Device Oem

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL wpw10399283 is an OEM start device designed to initiate compressor operation in refrigeration and cooling appliances. The start device provides the brief electrical assist needed to get the compressor motor spinning at startup, then drops out of the circuit once the motor reaches running speed. This is a direct OEM replacement part manufactured by Whirlpool, making it a reliable fit for restoring normal compressor startup behavior in affected units. Installation is typically handled by a qualified appliance or HVAC technician.

This start device is suited for residential refrigeration applications where compressor hard-start or no-start conditions have been diagnosed. It is used when the existing start device has failed, resulting in symptoms such as a compressor that hums but does not start, trips a thermal overload, or causes repeated breaker trips. Using an OEM part ensures the electrical characteristics match the original design specifications of the appliance.
