Re: PTC Relay 8EA17C3
Just to reply back, that the Whirlpool kit ordered from here had the correct PTC relay, (but overload unit not same – old one still fine). Fridge now working fine again. I did some basic testing and simulated a quick power cut/glitch, I then found the compressor wouldn’t kick in and the overload clicked a couple of times before compressor started properly again (I assume as the PTC has to cool down and the overload gives it time to do this?).
Once again, thanks for the help.
Re: PTC Relay 8EA17C3
Thanks Guys. Yes for a tiny disk of material and a bit of plastic (that you can buy for pence from China) there seems to be some enormous mark ups going on – supply and demand I guess!
Worst case I know from the specs its a 22ohm PTC device to take 8A, so will have to find something equivalent, but would be nice to keep it OEM.
