Description
The Tecumseh K71-64 is an OEM start relay engineered for use with Tecumseh hermetic and semi-hermetic compressors. Start relays play a critical role in refrigeration and air conditioning systems — they energize the start winding of a single-phase compressor motor during startup, then drop it out of the circuit once the compressor reaches operating speed. The K71-64 is built to Tecumseh’s exacting standards, ensuring proper coil pickup and drop-out characteristics that match the compressor’s electrical requirements.
Key Features
- Genuine Tecumseh OEM start relay designed for precise compatibility with Tecumseh compressors
- Engineered to energize the start winding at startup and disconnect it at running speed for efficient motor operation
- Durable construction for long service life in demanding refrigeration and HVAC applications
- Direct OEM replacement helps minimize downtime and simplifies service calls
- Compact design for easy installation in tight compressor compartments
Applications
- Residential and light commercial refrigeration systems
- Air conditioning and heat pump compressors
- Reach-in coolers, freezers, and refrigerated display cases
- Any system utilizing a compatible Tecumseh single-phase compressor
Why Choose an OEM Start Relay?
Using a genuine Tecumseh replacement start relay ensures the correct electrical characteristics — pickup voltage, drop-out voltage, and coil resistance — are maintained. Mismatched relays can result in hard starts, compressor damage, or premature relay failure. The K71-64 takes the guesswork out of the repair, providing a verified fit for the intended Tecumseh compressor model.
