The Compressor Overload and Start Relay is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in starting the refrigerator’s compressor and protecting it from electrical overloads.
Over time, these components can fail due to electrical wear, overheating, or repeated cycling. This can cause the refrigerator to malfunction or stop working altogether.
Symptoms of a bad compressor overload and start relay include:
- The refrigerator not cooling properly
- Clicking noises from the back of the refrigerator
- The compressor not running
- Overheating of the refrigerator
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
