⚡ At a Glance
- • Start Performance: 15 ohm resistance with single 1-pin connector suited to many small compressor starts
- • Best for: Owners of mini fridges, wine coolers and portable refrigeration units needing a quick repair
- • Not ideal for: Large domestic or commercial compressors that require multi-pin or higher-spec start relays
Compact 15 ohm start relay in a small black housing for mini fridges and coolers. Total size about 3.2 x 2.2 x 2.8 cm, matching many generic replacement needs.
Reliable compressor starts, with 15 ohm resistance
The 15 ohm coil resistance is matched to the start winding behaviour of many small compressors, allowing the start circuit to provide the required inrush torque. Single-pin electrical connection simplifies contact with the run circuit.
More consistent motor starts reduce failed cycles and keep internal temperatures stable, restoring appliance cooling without complex rewiring.
Straightforward replacement, with standard 1-pin design
A one-pin relay connects directly to the compressor start terminal common on many mini fridges and coolers, eliminating the need for adapter harnesses. Physical size and pin layout are the primary compatibility criteria.
Quick swap-in replacement lets owners perform a simple repair using basic tools, avoiding professional service for many common failures.
Space-saving fit, with compact dimensions
The relay measures approximately 3.2 x 2.2 x 2.8 cm, designed to occupy minimal space on the compressor housing or mounting bracket. Low-profile form helps clear tight compressor bays.
Small footprint makes it easy to install in cramped compartments and reduces the chance of interference with other components.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this relay fit my fridge compressor?
A: Check the physical dimensions, resistance (15 ohm) and pin quantity; match those three details to the existing relay for correct fit.
Q: How can I tell if a relay is broken?
A: A loose internal part will make a debris-collision noise when shaken, which indicates the relay is likely broken and needs replacement.
Q: Is installation difficult for non-professionals?
A: User feedback notes straightforward DIY installation with online video guidance, making replacements achievable for many homeowners.
