The Whirlpool refrigerator capacitor supplies power to the compressor when the post-temperature coefficient (PTC) gets hot. This heat then turns on the capacitor, switching it on. Thus, the compressor gets into action, cooling down the fridge. Overheating is a primary cause of a failed start capacitor. This capacitor mounts directly onto the compressor's starting relay. If the capacitor is faulty, the compressor may get unusually hot and draw excessive amperage. If the compressor overheats, it may fail to run until it cools down again.
