Best Seller

By: Ge
Part Number: OEM13090632
Manufacturer Part Number: WR07X10112

This PTC-style start relay mounts on the compressor and briefly powers the start winding so the compressor can start reliably. Replacing a weak or heat-damaged relay can restore cooling performance and stop repeated clicking from the compressor area.

  • Supplies momentary power to the compressor's start winding at startup
  • Opens automatically as the PTC warms, removing the start winding from the circuit
  • Symptoms of a failing relay: compressor won't start, repeated clicking/humming, and rising temperatures
  • Visual clues can include discoloration, melting, or a burnt odor on the relay housing
What's included: 1 compressor start relay (PTC) Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and remove the rear lower access panel to reach the compressor
  • Note wire locations and terminal orientation before removal; transfer wires one-for-one
  • Push the new relay fully onto the compressor pins until seated securely
  • Inspect the overload protector and wire terminals for heat damage; replace any burnt connectors before restoring power

Questions & Answers

For Ge Compressor Start Relay (Ptc) (Part Number: OEM13090632)

1 Answer

The power comes from the main board. The manufacturer suggested testing the compressor circuit: Read between CN1 pin# 1 (L1) on the power supply board to CN71 pin# 7. The test will show 120 VAC if the board wants the compressor to run. If 120 VAC is shown when testing then the capacitor is getting power.

Craig, Thanks for the question!!! The manufacturer does not provide any specifications for testing the PTC. The only thing you can really verify on the PTC is continuity. The manufacturer suggested testing is for the compressor circuit: Read between CN1 pin# 1 (L1) on the power supply board to CN71 pin# 7. The test will show 120 VAC if the board wants the compressor to run. From my experiences, I have never had to replace a failed PTC.

Al, if you place a flat head screwdriver in between the compressor and cover, the screwdriver can be rotated to lift up on the cover so that it can be removed.

Harry, with access to the compressor compartment and the appliance power cord unplugged, the relay WR07X10112 would be pulled off of the compressor and the new one put in place. The wires can then be transferred to the new one.
