Taylor 027714-27 Compressor Start Relay is used on older Danfoss mix hopper compressors that are designed to start without a start capacitor. This relay assists the compressor motor during startup by momentarily engaging the start winding, then disengaging once the compressor reaches operating speed. A weak or failed relay can lead to hard starts, clicking noises, or compressors that fail to start altogether. Replacing the relay restores proper startup behavior and helps prevent unnecessary compressor stress.
