That part is simply pushed on to the compressor and will pull off. Be sure the refrigerator is unplugged before removing it. Once off, shake the start device and if it rattles, which I suspect it will, replace it. The start device is shown as number 15 in the diagram and the replacement is available below. http://www.appliancepartspros.c...e-8201799-ap3873993.html Appliance Ninja attached the following image(s):

Found a parts store Saturday and had the fridge back up running and stocked by the afternoon. Saved the weekend cookout! Thought I was going to spend the weekend chasing down a fridge from Craigslist!

If they get dirty, they don't dissipate the heat well and can lead to that type of failure. Have a great Sunday!
