3PIN REALY REFRIGERATOR : AFTC-RY-003
This device is an AFTC-RY-003, a generic 3-pin PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) starter relay used primarily in refrigerator and freezer compressors. It is rated for 220V at 50/60Hz and serves as a replacement part for various appliance brands.
Key Specifications
- Model Number: AFTC-RY-003
- Voltage: 220V AC
- Frequency: 50/60Hz
- Pins: 3-pin configuration
- Type: PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) starter relay
- Application: Used to provide the high starting current required by compressor motors in refrigerators, freezers, and coolers.
Functionality & Compatibility
- How it Works: Upon startup, the PTC relay provides a high initial current to an auxiliary winding. As it heats up, its resistance increases dramatically, effectively cutting off power to the auxiliary winding while the motor continues to run on its main winding.
- Common Use: This is a generic “IC-4” style relay compatible with many brands, including Whirlpool, GE, and Kenmore.
- Maintenance Tip: A common sign of failure is a “click-clack” sound every few minutes while the compressor fails to start. You can often tell if the relay is broken by shaking it; a rattling sound indicates internal damage.
