2215676 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Starter Housing

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Starter Housing (2215676) is designed to protect and house the compressor's starter components, which include the start capacitor and start relay. These components are crucial in initiating the compressor motor's rotation. When power is applied to the refrigerator, the start capacitor provides a surge of current to assist with the initial startup of the motor. The start relay then delivers this capacitive spike when a start command is given. If these components fail, it can prevent the compressor from operating. Therefore, any malfunctioning relays or blown capacitors must be replaced to ensure the proper functioning of the refrigerator.

Repairing your refrigerator by replacing the 2215676 Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor Overload And Start Relay Cover yourself can have several benefits. It can save you the cost of a professional repair service, and it can also extend the lifespan of your refrigerator. Additionally, learning to repair your own appliances can provide a sense of accomplishment and self-sufficiency. It's also a more sustainable choice, as it reduces the need for new appliances and contributes to less electronic waste.
