Relay

The relay identified as part F620168-18 supports maintenance and replacement work on ice equipment. Keeping the removed part for comparison until testing is complete can help avoid installation surprises. 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 voltage drop, intermittent start, and short cycling. Once the failure is confirmed, replacing the part helps correct the specific fault path and stabilize operation. Before replacement, technicians typically verify inputs/outputs (or fitment/movement for mechanical parts) so the root cause is confirmed. Relays/contactors are usually checked for coil continuity, contact wear, and terminal heat marks that can cause voltage drop or chatter. Replacing the correct component helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls when the diagnosis is accurate. Recheck fasteners and connectors after the first cycle to confirm everything remains tight under vibration and normal operation. After installation, run a short test cycle and check for stable operation, leaks, vibration noise, and any recurring fault symptoms. 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. Inspect surrounding wiring, tubing, and mounting points so the new part is not exposed to the same stress that damaged the old one.
