It also appears as 242511824 and is referenced as TH1116Y. Models on file are the Westinghouse WTB4600, WTB4604, WTB5400 and WTB5404 in left and right hand versions, and the Kelvinator KTM4602WA and KTM5402AA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge compressor clicking but not starting?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe start relay plugs onto the side of the compressor. At start up the PTC device lets extra current flow through the start winding to get the motor turning, then cuts it back as it warms. The motor protector guards against overheating and excess current by breaking the circuit. When these parts fail, the compressor may click every few minutes without running, hum and then click off, or stay silent while the fridge light and fans still work, and the cabinet slowly warms up. A seized or shorted compressor causes similar clicking, so it is worth having the fault confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 2425118243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTC start relay and motor protector combined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso referenced as 242511824 and TH1116Y\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 Westinghouse and Kelvinator models on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging the start relay\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge and pull it out to reach the compressor at the back. Take a photo of the wiring and how the old relay sits on the compressor pins, then pull it straight off without bending the pins. Push the new device on squarely, reconnect the wires as they were and refit any cover. Plug in and listen for the compressor to start and keep running. Use a qualified fridge technician if you are not confident with the electrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can I tell if it is the relay or the compressor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA technician can test the relay and the compressor windings with a multimeter. A relay that rattles when shaken, or shows burn marks, is a strong hint. If a new relay still leaves the compressor clicking, the compressor itself may be at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44549357207630,"sku":"2425118243","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/2425118243-genuine-westinghouse-compressor-ptc-start-relay-with-motor-protector.jpg?v=1792026033","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/2425118243-genuine-westinghouse-compressor-ptc-start-relay-with-motor-protector","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
