Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Compressor Overload Protector by Ge

KC,
Pull the unit out and locate the compressor in the rear lower cover. Follow the wire harness connected to the compressor to find the overload. Disconnect power, remove the harness and replace the part.

Krystal,
If the part has 120 VAC to it and the compressor will not run then most likely it would need to be replaced as long as the compressor is ok.

Mark,

This overload can be tested by doing a continuity test by putting one lead in the hole of it and touching the other lead to the terminal. If it does not read continuity then it is faulty.
