Just remember your basic math when determining HP ratings.  1/12HP is a lot smaller than 1/2HP and so on.  Too make it easy, just think about this.  If the bottom number is bigger, the HP is smaller.  If the bottom number is smaller, the HP is bigger.  Its very important to choose the correct ratings when installing the Supco start kits.  If the rating on the start kit is larger than your compressor rating, the overload device may not activate in a timely manner.  And compressor will over heat.  Don't trust that the compressor will shut down when it gets overheated!  Most, but not all standard home fridgs, and freezers are relatively small compressors.  1/12 to 1/5 HP.   A  1/4 to 1/3 Supco start kit may overheat the compressor on these home fridges and freezers.  A compressor needs around 2 minutes of rest time between cycles to start properly.  Thats the overloads job is to wait that time period.  The proper Supco will shut down compressor if the 2 minutes between cycles is not sensed.  Usually, if compressor does not start in 2 seconds, proper Supco will shut it down, and wait for the 2 minute window, and try again.  The proper Supco will protect you from..... kids in and out of fridge too many times at once,  door not closed all the way,  standing there with door open looking at food to eat.  LOL!!!   We've all done it you know!!  LOL!!!   Anyway, just really match your ratings of HP up with the proper start kit.  Don't think you can just over match the ratings and it'll work just fine.  They will work, BUT, better be safe, than sorry!  Choose the proper rating for your fridge,  or freezer.  I know, because I've already been experimenting in detail with this very issue.  Hope this helps all you guys out there.

Question 2

What is the difference between the supco.  urc0410 and the  rc0410 ?

Accepted Answer

Supco urc0410 is used on refrigerators without run capacitors. Per their website Supco rco410 works on refrigerators with or without run capacitors.

Question 3

Is can work with Jennie 15.9 upright freezer

Accepted Answer

Yes, it should if the compressor is just having a problem with starting. These are boosters & not actual hard start components. Watch your wiring. My compressor had no terminal markings. (c-s-r)

Question 4

Is it work for compressor with 1/4hp 21.2LRA?

Accepted Answer

Supco claims 1/4 to 1/3 HP for the RCO410. See their PDF datasheet for details. There are sockets on the wires to suit the three 2.3 mm pins used on most fridge compressors. If you are going to utilize the original thermal overload switch (best for compressor life), you may need to replace one socket with a 1/4 inch spade terminal.
