241941003 - Electrolux Refrigerator Start Relay

This Electrolux Refrigerator Start Relay (241941003) is a genuine part perfect for Electrolux, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse refrigerators. Also known as the "Starter, TSD2," this start relay is the unsung hero that kicks off your refrigerator's compressor operation. It’s the bridge between your refrigerator's need for cold air and the compressor's ability to provide it. By initiating the compressor's operation at power-on, this relay ensures your appliance can maintain the right temperature to keep your food fresh. When your refrigerator’s thermostat signals for cooling, the start relay springs into action. It uses an internal electromagnet to close the relay contacts when energized, allowing a significant inrush of current to flow to the compressor. This critical surge helps overcome the compressor's initial mechanical resistance, ensuring it starts efficiently every time your refrigerator calls for cooling. Symptoms indicating the start relay may be failing include a refrigerator that does not start, unusually warm temperatures inside the unit, or strange clicking noises coming from the appliance. These could signal that your start relay is unable to properly facilitate the compressor’s operation, affecting your refrigerator’s performance. Verify your device's model number for compatibility before purchasing this essential component to ensure it will get your appliance back up and running smoothly.
