Which compressor models is this relay kit compatible with?
The K71-09 is primarily utilized for the Tecumseh AEA3430AXA, AEA3430YXA, and AEA3430YXU series. Always verify the Bill of Materials (BOM) on the compressor nameplate to ensure the correct electrical kit match.

Can I use this relay for 230V applications?
No, this specific relay kit is engineered and rated for 115V/60Hz/1PH systems. Using this component on a higher voltage system will lead to immediate electrical failure.

Does this kit include the overload protector?
The K71-09 is a start relay kit; specialized overloads (such as the K90 series) are typically sourced separately depending on the specific application and compressor model requirements.
