Compressor Start Relay and Overload Kit
The Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) relay utilizes a ceramic disc that frequently fractures due to repeated thermal expansion and contraction. When the disc fails, the start winding of the compressor cannot be energized, preventing the refrigeration cycle from initiating even if the thermostat is calling for cooling.

Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan is responsible for drawing air across the cooling coils and distributing it throughout the freezer and fresh food compartments. Mechanical seizure or electrical winding failure within the motor stops this convective heat transfer, leaving the cabinet warm despite a functioning compressor.

Defrost Thermostat
This bimetal switch monitors the evaporator temperature; if it fails to close, the defrost heater will not activate during the cycle. This leads to ice buildup on the evaporator fins, which physically blocks airflow and creates an insulating barrier that prevents the refrigerant from absorbing heat from the cabinet.
