What Does the WP2320150 Start Device Do?

The refrigerator start device works with the compressor by briefly supplying the electrical boost required to start the compressor motor. Once the compressor is running, the start device disengages and normal cooling operation continues.

Correct OEM specifications matter because compressor start components must match exact electrical tolerances. An incorrect or poorly manufactured replacement can cause:

• Compressor overheating

• Repeated clicking or failed starts

• Electrical overload trips

• Reduced cooling efficiency

• Premature compressor damage

A genuine OEM Whirlpool start device ensures safe compressor startup and proper refrigeration system performance.

Common Symptoms of a Failed Refrigerator Start Device

A failing WP2320150 start device commonly causes:

• Refrigerator not cooling

• Freezer warming up

• Clicking sounds from rear compressor area

• Compressor attempts to start but shuts off

• Compressor overheating

• Intermittent cooling loss

• Refrigerator completely dead while interior lights still work

In many cases, replacing the start device resolves these symptoms. However, if the compressor itself is defective, replacing the start device alone may not restore operation. Repair discussions consistently note clicking and compressor overheating as classic start-device failure symptoms.
