WP67002527 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Start Device

The WP67002527 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool refrigerator compressor start device designed to help the compressor motor start correctly and operate safely. This essential refrigeration component attaches directly to the compressor and provides the electrical boost required for compressor start-up while protecting against overload conditions. It is engineered to Whirlpool factory specifications for reliable performance, safe operation, and long-term durability across compatible Whirlpool-built refrigerator models.

Compatible with select Whirlpool-manufactured refrigerator brands including Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Admiral, Roper, Estate, Magic Chef, Crosley, Inglis, Kenmore, and others, the WP67002527 commonly resolves compressor starting failures that can cause refrigerators to stop cooling or cycle improperly. Available from Appliance Kingdom with fast Canada-wide shipping for homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair professionals.

What Does the WP67002527 Start Device Do?

The refrigerator start device works as the compressor’s ignition system. It briefly delivers the electrical current needed to start the compressor motor and then disengages once normal compressor operation begins. It also includes overload protection to prevent compressor damage caused by overheating or electrical faults.

A properly functioning start device is critical for:

  • Reliable compressor start-up

  • Consistent refrigerator and freezer cooling

  • Preventing compressor overheating

  • Protecting sealed-system components

  • Maintaining efficient refrigerator operation

Because the start device controls compressor engagement, OEM-quality specifications are essential. Incorrect or poorly fitted replacement parts can lead to repeated compressor failure, electrical stress, or unsafe operation.

Common Symptoms of a Failed Refrigerator Start Device

A faulty start device often causes cooling loss and compressor start failure. Common symptoms include:

  • Refrigerator not cooling properly

  • Freezer compartment warming up

  • Clicking or buzzing noises near the compressor

  • Compressor repeatedly attempting to start

  • Compressor overheating

  • Intermittent cooling cycles

  • Refrigerator completely failing to start

If your refrigerator clicks repeatedly but does not cool, replacing the WP67002527 start device often restores normal compressor operation. However, if symptoms persist after replacement, compressor failure or sealed-system issues may require professional diagnosis. Community repair reports consistently note clicking and overheating as common signs of a failed relay/start device.

Compatibility Guidance
