D6961612 Amana-Goodman OVERLOAD

This is the OEM thermal overload protector used on select Amana and Goodman compressors. It protects the compressor by opening the circuit when internal temperature or current draw exceeds safe limits.

The D6961612 is the OEM thermal overload protector used on select Amana and Goodman compressors. This safety device opens the circuit when the compressor overheats or draws excessive current, preventing damage to the windings. Ideal for restoring proper protection on units with failed or weakened overloads.

Features:

• Genuine Amana‑Goodman OEM overload

• Protects compressor from overheating

• Automatic reset design

• Direct replacement for units specifying D6961612

What This Overload Does

• Protects compressor windings from overheating

• Opens the circuit during locked‑rotor or high‑amp conditions

• Prevents catastrophic compressor failure

• Resets automatically once temperature returns to safe range

🛠️ Technician Notes

• Always verify the overload matches the compressor model

• Check for underlying causes: weak capacitor, high head pressure, dirty coil

• Ensure proper mounting for accurate thermal sensing

• If overload trips repeatedly, diagnose compressor health before replacing
