Refrigerator Compressor Start Device / Relay Kit

The 8201786 Start Device Kit (relay + overload) helps initiate compressor startup in refrigerators by supplying a temporary current boost at motor start, then switching off the extra support once the compressor is running. It's a critical component to ensure reliable compressor activation, especially in residential refrigeration systems.
