Overload

For service buyers searching by part number, 18-8932-31 corresponds to the overload. In service work, this part is selected when troubleshooting points to component failure rather than a wiring, control setting, or maintenance issue. Before purchase, compare the machine brand and the removed part markings to avoid ordering a visually similar but incorrect item. Model verification is important because close machine variants may use different revisions of the same component category. Protects and resets the compressor circuit when overheating or overload conditions cause shutdown and restart problems. When this component fails, technicians may see issues such as not cooling consistently, hot shutdowns, and compressor trips. An overload protector issue may appear as shutdown after heating and restart only after the system cools down. For this overload protector category, the typical repair goal is to restore the function that the failed component was affecting. A good service approach is to verify the exact part number and inspect the surrounding assembly before replacing the component. With overload protectors, technicians typically verify compressor condition and current draw so the new protector is not exposed to the same fault. If the machine has a history of intermittent faults, reviewing recent service notes can help confirm whether this component is the primary failure. Replacing a failed component with the correct part number helps restore normal operation, reduces repeat callbacks, and supports more reliable troubleshooting outcomes. To avoid ordering delays, confirm the exact part number and compare mounting style, connector style, and application details before installation. Complaints such as not turning on, no power, not cooling, not starting, intermittent operation, error code messages, or ice not dropping can overlap across several parts, so a confirmed diagnosis will help this replacement solve the actual problem faster.
