Introduzione
Use this guide to replace the start relay assembly in your Whirlpool WRS315SDHW Refrigerator.
The start relay is a combination of the start relay, the overload relay, and the start capacitor, which are responsible for protecting your compressor's circuit. If the fans are running and your compressor won’t start, or if you hear a clicking sound from the unit, your start relay assembly might be broken.
