<p>A starting/boost control system for a refrigerator compressor, the refrigerator compressor comprising an induction motor having a main winding and a starting/boost winding, the motor being energised from a single phase of an AC mains power supply, the starting/boost control system comprising: an electronic controller having a power supply derived from said AC mains power supply; a sense input coupled to said electronic controller to sense a degree to which said motor is running; a control output to control starting/boost of said motor; a controllable switch having a control connection coupled to said control output to switch power from said AC mains power supply to said starting/boost winding; and an impedance coupled in series with said switch between said AC mains power supply and said starting/boost winding; and wherein said electronic controller is configured to respond to a sensed motor condition dependent on said degree to which said motor is running to perform one or both of: i) opening of said switch to disconnect said starting/boost winding responsive to a determination that said motor has started following application of said AC mains power supply to said main winding of said motor; and ii) closing of said switch to re-connect said starting/boost winding to said AC mains power supply responsive to a determination that a mechanical output of said motor is to be boosted, until said electronic controller determines that a defined condition of said motor is met.
