Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What refrigerators is this PTC start relay compatible with?
A: This 1-pin, 15-ohm PTC start relay and overload protector is compatible with a wide range of mini refrigerators, portable coolers, and compact appliances that use R600A or 125W compressors. Always verify your compressor's pin configuration and resistance rating before purchasing.
Q: How does the overload protector work?
A: The overload protector is connected directly to the compressor motor. It continuously monitors the electrical current being drawn. If the current exceeds a safe threshold — such as during a motor fault or blockage — it automatically shuts the compressor down to prevent damage, then resets once conditions return to normal.
Q: Is this start relay easy to install yourself?
A: Yes. The 1-pin design makes installation straightforward — simply unplug the old relay from the compressor terminal and plug in the new one. No special tools are required. If you are unsure about working with electrical appliance components, consulting a qualified technician is always recommended.
Q: What is the difference between the 1-pin and 2-pin versions?
A: The pin count refers to the number of electrical connection points on the relay that connect to your compressor. You must match the pin count to your existing compressor relay socket. Check your current relay or appliance manual to confirm which configuration you need before ordering.
