URO41 – Universal Supco Refrigerator Relay & Overload (115V, 1/4–1/3 HP)

The URO41 Universal Relay Overload is a Universal OEM-quality compressor starting device designed for refrigerator and light commercial refrigeration systems. It is a push-on relay and overload combination used with 115V compressors in the 1/4 to 1/3 HP range, making it a widely used replacement solution for common Whirlpool and other major refrigerator brands.

Available in Canada through Appliance Kingdom with fast nationwide shipping, this component is a critical part of restoring compressor startup reliability when original relay or overload systems fail.

What the URO41 Does in a Refrigerator

This relay and overload assembly is responsible for safely starting and protecting the refrigerator compressor.

It performs two essential functions:

  • Relay function: Sends power to the compressor start winding during startup

  • Overload protection: Cuts power if the compressor draws excessive current or overheats

In simple terms, the URO41 helps your refrigerator compressor start correctly and stay protected during operation.

Without a functioning relay/overload, the compressor may:

  • Fail to start completely

  • Click repeatedly without running

  • Overheat due to locked rotor conditions

Why OEM-Grade Quality Matters

Using a properly rated relay/overload like the URO41 is essential because:

  • Incorrect ratings can prevent compressor startup

  • Poor-quality parts may cause premature compressor failure

  • Proper overload protection prevents electrical and thermal damage

  • Ensures safe operation under load variations

This Supco universal design is engineered to match OEM performance standards while offering compatibility across multiple compressor systems.

Common Symptoms of a Failed Relay/Overload

If your refrigerator relay or overload is failing, you may notice:

  • Compressor clicks but does not start

  • Refrigerator not cooling or weak cooling

  • Intermittent compressor operation

  • Buzzing or humming sound from compressor area

  • Compressor shuts off shortly after starting

  • Repeated cycling without cooling recovery

Replacing the URO41 often restores proper compressor startup and normal refrigeration performance when the fault lies in the start device.

Compatibility Guidance

The URO41 is designed for:

  • 115V refrigerator compressors

  • 1/4 to 1/3 horsepower systems

  • Domestic refrigerators and light commercial refrigeration units

Always verify:

  • Compressor HP rating

  • Voltage specification

  • Terminal type (push-on compatibility)

If unsure, confirm your appliance model and compressor details before ordering from Appliance Kingdom.
