Product review (5 stars): REFIG IS DESIGNED TO FAIL AT 10 YEARS
After 10 years my $2000 Maytag refrig stopped cooling. The snap on OEM "relay, capacitor, and overload" device attached to the compressor failed. The telltale rattling noise, when shaken, was caused by the overload disc broken up inside. It looks like a large button battery. I had to drill out the rivet holding the device together to look at the disc. After very careful ohming of the 3 compressor terminals, I felt confidant I identified the Start-Run-Common electrical terminals of the compressor. My refrig compressor had no markings to identify them. 5-10 minute install job, secured the unit with a tie strap to existing wiring. Worked perfect on my 1/4 hp Maytag compressor. Has been running now for 3 days, I hope it will run for many decades now.

The question is "WHY DON'T THE REFRIGERATOR MANUFACTURERS INSTALL THIS DEVICE ON THEIR PRODUCTS!!"
