HQRP QP2-4R7 4.7 Ohm 3-Pin PTC Starter/Start Relay Replacement Compatible with Mini Fridges, Compact Refrigerators, Beverage & Wine/Beer Coolers, Deep Freezers, Beer/Wine Refrigerators

Simple replacement instead of a $250 repair call. If your refrigerator has stopped working but the light still comes on, replace this relay and white overload, it is simple, cheap and i bet this fixes most non-start problems5 stars

It did the job and fix the issue I had

Water dispenser is running and water is cooling again.

THIS IS NOT A "VINE FREE ITEM" REVIEW, IT IS A 'PAID FOR BY ME' HONEST REVIEWI thought THIS was the faulty part, but in fact it was the Overload that THIS attaches with. I ended up finding the CORRECT part PLUS this (a 2 piece kit) for about $1 +/- more (a different seller) and installed both of them to fix the issue. I am sure this would have worked IF it was the issue, because I hear most issues are this, but for the extra $1 I got a 2 piece replacement that worked. So if you can find a 2 piece set & since you are already changing "this" piece, you might as well change both. It was simple & easy. Although just this piece usually fixes the issue, it is not always the case.

This was the solution to my problem. My chest freezer stopped working. The compressor would try to come on for a couple of seconds, then turn back off. It kept doing it over, and over. I first replaced the capacitor, thinking that was the problem. I was on the right track, but the reason the compressor could not get the power of the capacitor, was actually because of this device. It's easy to diagnose. It just pulls right right off of the connector pins on the side of the compressor, then take a picture to put the wires back correctly. I read there is a ceramic disc inside that goes bad. Just shake it, and if it rattles inside, then the disc has worn out from heat. A new device will not rattle at all. Just put the wires onto the new device, and push it onto pins of the compressor, and problem solved. I've waited to see if any more problems came about, but everything is good. It's been running again for about a year. No more problems.

It fit but had other issues so the freezer went to the scrap yard

My Igloo chest freezer, model FRF520, stopped freezing. The green and red light still came on and there was clicking noises. The freezer or compressor just wouldn't start past the clicks. After asking my brother in law and doing some research, he thought it might be either the compressor or the start relay. It sounds like the start relay for this model tends to be a problem. So, I took a chance and bought this start relay. I am a female with no mechanical knowledge and I fixed my freezer myself by replacing the part. The hardest part was figuring out how to get the old one out. You do not need to pull it off, you need to pop the clips off using needle nose pliers or a flat head screw driver. That is the one piece of information that I couldn't find online. The picture shows my old starter relay that is broken. It's been 4 days and my freezer is still freezing!

I tested this before installing it and it said it was 5.7 ohms instead of 4.7, but I installed it anyways out of desperate hope and of course it did not work. Why is it so difficult to find a seller that will sell one of these that actually reads 4.7 ohms.
