Tecumseh K71-38 Relay Kit

The Tecumseh K71-38 Relay Kit is a specialized electrical service component designed for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Engineered for high-efficiency compressor start-up, this genuine OEM Tecumseh relay facilitates the transition between the start and run windings of the motor. It is a critical part for maintaining the operational integrity of Tecumseh AE2 compressors, specifically the AE2410Y-AA1A model operating on 115V single-phase power. By managing the electrical current and preventing thermal overloading, this kit helps stabilize system performance and protects the hermetic motor from premature failure under high-torque conditions.

As a field-ready solution, the K71-38 compressor relay kit includes the necessary relay wiring harness, terminal adapters, and mounting hardware essential for a clean, professional install. Technicians should utilize this kit to replace worn contacts or faulty magnetic coils that cause "short cycling" or failed starting sequences. Incorporating genuine refrigeration parts like the K71-38 ensures exact electrical matching, which is vital for maintaining the calibrated RLA and LRA parameters of the compressor.

• Optimized Starting Torque: Ensures reliable ignition of the compressor motor even under varying load conditions.
• Precise Electrical Matching: Specifically calibrated for AE2 series compressors to maintain exact amperage draw.
• Complete Installation Kit: Includes lead wires and terminal adapters to streamline field replacement.
• Thermal Protection: Works in conjunction with the system overload to prevent motor burnout.

• Which compressors are compatible with the K71-38? This kit is primarily designed for Tecumseh AE2410Y-AA1A models. Always verify the Bill of Materials (BOM) on your compressor’s nameplate.
• Does this kit include the start capacitor? This is the relay kit only. While it includes the relay and wiring, the start capacitor (typically K146-28) is sold separately if needed.
• Can I use this on a non-AE2 series compressor? No, AE2 components are not interchangeable with standard AE series parts due to differences in electrical specifications.
