Relay

Repair buyers often search by part F620168-11 to find the matching relay for the job. A correct part-number match matters because similar-looking parts can have different connectors, ratings, or mounting details. As a relay/contactor, this part is used to restore switching in the start/run circuit for a load. Failures in this area often show up as compressor not engaging, short cycling, and voltage drop. In repairs, replacement is considered when inspection and testing confirm the fault is tied to this component. If the issue is intermittent, look for heat marks, vibration wear, loose connections, or binding movement that changes under load. Relays/contactors are usually checked for coil continuity, contact wear, and terminal heat marks that can cause voltage drop or chatter. Once the failed part is confirmed and replaced, cycle behavior should normalize and performance should return to expected operation. If the part is in a water path, do a leak check during the first run and again after the unit has operated for a short period. Recheck fasteners and connectors after the first cycle to confirm everything remains tight under vibration and normal operation. Once the failed part is confirmed and replaced, cycle behavior should normalize and performance should return to expected operation. If multiple symptoms overlap, complete the diagnosis before ordering so the replacement targets the true root cause. Inspect surrounding wiring, tubing, and mounting points so the new part is not exposed to the same stress that damaged the old one. After a successful repair, technicians often note the symptom and test result to make future troubleshooting easier. Cleaning the area around the repair helps improve fitment and makes leak or vibration checks more reliable. If multiple symptoms overlap, complete the diagnosis before ordering so the replacement targets the true root cause.
