Replacement Start Relay for Series 4 and Series X.1 Kegerators
Restore reliable compressor starting with this replacement QP2-15A compressor start relay and thermal overload for compatible KegLand kegerators.
Designed for Series 4 and Series X.1 models, this replacement assembly connects to the compressor and assists it during startup. It may be suitable when a compatible kegerator clicks repeatedly, fails to start or is no longer cooling because its existing start relay or overload has failed.
Correct diagnosis is important because similar symptoms can also be caused by the compressor, electrical system, control board or another refrigeration component.

What Does a Compressor Start Relay Do?
The start relay briefly supplies the compressor with the electrical assistance required to begin operating.
Once the compressor starts, the relay changes state and allows the compressor to continue running normally. The thermal overload helps protect the compressor from excessive current or overheating.
A failed relay or overload may prevent an otherwise functional compressor from starting.
Possible Signs of a Faulty Start Relay
Possible symptoms include:
-
The kegerator has power but does not cool
-
A clicking sound occurs near the compressor
-
The compressor attempts to start and then stops
-
The compressor remains off while the display and fans operate
-
The existing relay appears burnt, cracked or damaged
-
A technician has diagnosed a faulty start relay or overload
These symptoms do not confirm that the relay is faulty. Compressor, wiring, control board and refrigeration faults can produce similar symptoms.
Installation Information
Disconnect the kegerator from mains power before inspecting or replacing any electrical component.
The start relay and overload are located at the compressor electrical terminals. Installation requires removal of the compressor terminal cover and correct positioning of the replacement components.
Take a clear photograph of the original connections before removing anything and install the replacement components in the same positions.
If you are uncertain about electrical diagnosis, compatibility or installation, have the kegerator inspected and repaired by a qualified appliance or refrigeration technician.
Will This Fix a Kegerator That Is Not Cooling?
It may fix the problem if the existing start relay or thermal overload has failed and the compressor itself remains serviceable.
It will not repair a failed compressor, refrigerant leak, faulty control board, damaged wiring, fan problem or other refrigeration fault.
Proper fault diagnosis is recommended before purchasing replacement electrical components.
Is This Compatible with Every Series X Kegerator?
No. This product is specifically listed for Series 4 and Series X.1 kegerators.
Series X Plus and other Series X revisions may use different components. Check the model information on your kegerator and compare the original relay before ordering.
What Relay Is Included?
The kit includes a 1-pin QP2-15A compressor start relay together with a thermal overload.
The markings and connection layout should be compared with the original component before installation.
Can I Replace the Relay Myself?
Replacement may be straightforward for someone experienced with appliance repairs, but the component is connected to mains-powered refrigeration equipment.
Always unplug the kegerator before removing any covers. If you are not confident identifying or replacing electrical components safely, use a qualified technician.
