Bard 8551-005 is an OEM start device (PTCR) used in the control panel to help the compressor start reliably by briefly assisting the start winding and then dropping out as the compressor comes up to speed. This motor starting device is listed by Bard as an optional PTCR start component on certain Bard wall mount units, and it is a smart replacement when you are troubleshooting hard starting, intermittent start issues, or a compressor that struggles to come online under load. As a genuine Bard part, 8551-005 is selected to match the intended electrical characteristics and wiring layout for the equipment, so you can restore proper startup performance while maintaining correct fit and safe operation.
