Review on Upgrade Your Refrigerator With BlueStars' W10613606 Compressor Start Relay And Capacitor - Perfect Replacement For Whirlpool, KitchenAid, And Kenmore Models. by Jonathan Lloyd

If you like melted plastic and possible fire but this relay!

I read the negative reviews and should have listened, but trying to save money like we all do, I went ahead and tried it. This is a TERRIBLE product. When you buy a relay it should not rattle like this one did out of the box. I installed it to see if it would even work and it did, but I pulled it back off after an hour to see what was smelling like burnt plastic. You guessed it. My NEW relay was now stinking the place up with that nasty burnt electronics smell. The compressor on my fridge pulls 10 amps on startup and then reduces to 1 amp during run time. This is a fire hazard people with this start relay. IF you want a fire behind your refrigerator or to make a simple problem and fix worse, then buy this product. I am betting you don’t. The capacitor MAY be worth the price as an OEM capacitor for my refrigerator is $59. The relay is total trash. If you are buying this for the relay? Just get OEM or risk a fire. I can’t be more clear than that. This relay I bought was for a Whirlpool refrigerator just for reference. It fit correctly, but the quality is not even worthy of a star. Now I have to drive 15 miles just to drop it off at the UPS Store. Revain One Day delivery is also a joke. At least in my area. If you can’t get it here on time within one day just say so. I would understand that. Promising something you can’t deliver? Well, most people don’t appreciate that. I don’t. TLDR? THIS PRODUCT IS TERRIBLE! DO NOT BUY! Thank you for reading.

Pros
  • The product is easy to install, even for individuals who are not familiar with refrigerator repair or maintenance
Cons
  • The compressor start relay and capacitor may not fix issues related to the evaporator or condenser coils
