General Electric Relay, Overload, Capacitor

A temperature-sensitive resistor located within the refrigerator system that helps regulate cooling functions and defrost cycles. Replace when the refrigerator runs constantly, fails to cool properly, or when defrost cycles malfunction.

Compressor clicks on and off or won't start? This PTC start relay energizes the compressor start winding to restore consistent cooling. DIY-friendly repair.

This evaporator fan blade mounts on the fan motor and circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the compartments. Replacing a cracked, warped, or loose blade restores proper airflow and stable temperatures.

• Moves air across the evaporator to distribute cooled air evenly
• Helps maintain consistent refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Common symptoms include weak or no airflow, warm spots, frost buildup on the evaporator cover, and rattling/scraping noises
• Replace if the blade is damaged or spins loosely on the motor shaft

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove shelves/bins and the rear evaporator cover to access the fan
• Note blade orientation and seating depth; pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft
• Press the new blade on until fully seated; verify free spin and proper clearance before reassembly

Compressor won't start or runs hot? This overload protector stops your refrigerator compressor from overheating and prevents premature failure.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A failed compressor overload protector prevents the compressor from starting. This part restores normal operation.

Guardette (right) is a replacement right-side protective guard used on select GE refrigerators. It restores the interior guard/trim that protects components and helps keep the cabinet interior aligned for smooth door and shelf operation. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, broken or missing right-side guard to restore proper coverage and protection
• Shields interior wiring and components from contact and everyday wear
• Helps prevent items from catching on damaged trim and reduces rattles or misalignment
• Matches OEM fit and mounting points for a straightforward replacement on compatible units

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Removal may require gently prying or unsnapping the old guard; use a trim tool to avoid damage
• Align mounting tabs and press firmly until the replacement snaps into place
• If fasteners are present, tighten by hand to avoid cracking plastic

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or runs constantly with this compressor start relay. Simple replacement takes 15-30 minutes with basic hand tools.
