are the overload protector and PTC starter standard over the counter parts or do I need specific types/models? Can you provide part#s and or sources? Thanks in advanve
Thanks, looks useful. In my case the input side of these little "starter relays" is not receiving the expected 120V. If I connect the power directly to these input tabs the compressor starts. So... could be the thermostat or the logic or other relay upstream. Any suggestions appreciated...
Just bought a house with two older models came with it. They both do not work and even the lights don’t turn on. Did the whole unit, include the light didn’t work before replacing those parts?
Mine was not cooling, not turning on. Noticed mold had started to form inside (I keep outside on patio in FL). I saw another video mentioning cold control. I tried that by using a wire segment to bypass cold control. That wasn't it. I ordered these and this did the trick.
I have a question, I replaced both the overload and start relays, and my wine chiller s still doing the same thing, the compressor turns on, then clicks off after a moment, I filed down the female connections a bit but that didn’t help, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
oops, i accidentally connected both the blue and red wire to the PTC starter. i waited 2 weeks to get the PTC starter and overload protector (from amazon) hoping that would be a fix for the fridge, but when i inserted them into the fridge and reconnected them, i looked at my photo from when i disconnected the parts, and noticed that the blue cable was attached to the PTC and the red wire was loose, i took the pic after i had already pulled it, and thought that they both went to the PTC starter, only then did i realize there was not a 3rd wire for the overload. is it possible that i ruined the brand new PTC starter by attaching both cables to it?
Finding the right parts is the hard part as I could not locate the exact parts I took out. I have a Magic Chef E wave wine fridge Mod MCWC30M. This does not seem to exist in most places. I needed a starter relay P6R8MC OR0209 ... I could find P6R8MC all day long but none that ended in OR0209 ... There was one Internet comment that suggested that only the first 6 characters are right ... the rest might just be a batch # ??? Gonna try it .... Also was looking for the overload protector 314TFBYY -520 could find no such beast. There are two options that look the same as mine 6750C-0005P and the 6750C-0004R. They look the same as mine and in one spot it was suggested they were interchangeable ??? I'm going to try the ... 04R.... wish me luck.
I replaced the relay and plugged the unit but it still doesn't seem to be getting any power or turning on at all. When I plug the unit it I observed a small single clicking noise from somewhere near the relay or compressor. Any ideas?
Fan often goes bad on these so it can't push cool air around to create 2 zones. My fan is noisy and starts and stops -- others report same issue. Suggested fix is to lubricate fan with machine oil (not wd40) or replace fan. While it's a common issue, it may not be yours.
@@kevincross4302 1. Does the fan run? 2) Is there a hum? 3) Is there a fuseable link that has melted? 4) Is the startup capacitor shot? 5) What exactly happens when you plug it in? 6) Was it cooling appropriately before it quit altogether? Random ass replacements of parts is a bad plan.
You can use an ohm meter to check out the coil on the current relay. Also if you have a capacitor you can test the cap for proper mfd rating. Which should be on the capacitor. You can take those parts off the compressor and ohm out each of the three terminals on the compressor plus from each terminal to ground. Between terminals you should get resistance on all of them. If not it is 🔥 burnt. From each terminal to ground it should not have any, it should read infinite. If it reads anything even 0 it is grounded out.
Does anyone know if this is a fix for a unit not even switching on? Even the LCD display isn't switching on It's a different unit but has exactly the same parts on the compressor
A ckt card on the side attached with a fuse, check it out, that's where the ncoming power goes. Blown fuse on the ckt is caused by shorted components inside the card.
Have a Magic Chef, a little larger than this one. I got those two parts and this is exactly what it took to fix it. Thank you! About a $12 fix.
This video saved me from dishing out $350 for a new unit. I bought these parts for $7 on amazon and did it in 3 mins. THANK YOU!
Bought the two parts from
Amazon and they worked. Thanks for the video
Replaced the black starter on my Vinotemp VT-34 TS. It used to click and not cool. Works like a champ now. Thanks for the vid!
Where did you get the replacement part? having the same issue with my vt-48 ts
Thanks for posting this... I tried it and it worked... Thanks again
Good video! Hope I have a $7 wine cooler.
trying this now!!!!!!!!Thanks!!!!!!!!
You’re amazing
thanks for the video I just find one on the street almost new I am sure it s the same problem people just dont border, I guess I will try it
Pat Maillé did it work?

I’ve got a magic chef wine cooler that want cooling properly. I cleaned the coil and plugged it back in. Should the fan start immediately?
Thank you so much
What is the mod # you ordered because it seems as though my ptc relay has 2- or do the second set of numbers matter?? ( p6r8mc + or0505)
My fridge doesn't cool! The compressor runs but feels extremely hot to the touch I suspect refrigerant is leaking are these repairable?

They are not designed to be outside in a humid environment. You will probably have more issues

Well, I guess the cooler I picked up from the side of the road is missing a PTC Starter. This should be easy to get and fix.
did u ever get it fixed?

I have a black and decker 18 bottles wine cellar. It is not working. How can I correct it.
I have the same LG compressor. Can you send me a link to the parts, or the model number of the parts?
howabout testing the start relay and the overload sensor instead of guessing which of the 2 is bad
I have identified the problem and it is the starter switch but I have been unable to find a dealer to locate the part, can you help?
I Ordered my parts on amazon
I replaced the relay and plugged the unit but it still doesn't seem to be getting any power or turning on at all. When I plug the unit it I observed a small single clicking noise from somewhere near the relay or compressor. Any ideas?

sorry to hear that, perhaps u shouldve tested them before buying, it can also be a bad compressor,which can also be teste!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have replaced both the overload sensor and the start relay to no joy. No click no cool. Anyone else have more ideas?

Possible motor winding is open, motor is grounded, no fix, need new compressor motor almost the cost of a new wine cooler.
How about diagnosing the problem before buying the parts.
Legit question, How do you diagnose the problem...Mine quit working out of the blue and don't have a clue as to why or where to even start..

It’s a $4 part, why not try it out

You don't even tell where the red or blue wire comes from the plug or the wiring of fridge . Smh
My wine cooler came with a messed up door I had to pull it up to closed it , now its Making ice 🧊 what should I do now
