Sean March 27, 2020 for Model Number PSHF6RGXCDBB My GE Profile refrigerator doesn't make clicking noise and the compressor doesn't turn on and hence no cool at all. I opened up the compressor start relay cover and the ceramic disc is not broken, but the two contact points between metal pieces are not connected (linked). Are those contact points supposed to have space or supposed to be linked with something? There isn't any broken piece in the start relay. Would it be the Main Control board issue? Compressor? Or the start relay? The main control board doesn't show any burnt elements in the front or on the back. Thank you!
1 Answer Sean, You will want to test to see if there is 120 Vac getting to the overload and relay. If there is power but the compressor is not starting then this will be a faulty start device. If there is not power then the main control board will be the issue. If you opened the relay it would be recommended to replace it. Read More...
Dean October 26, 2019 for Model Number CSHS5UGXCSS The condensor fan runs but the compressor does not start. I removed the start relay and it does rattle. I would like to know how to test the circuit for power?
1 Answer Hello Dean, If the start relay rattles, this indicates that the ceramic disk inside it has shattered and the start relay WR07X10084 will need to be replaced. Read More...
Courtney July 06, 2019 for Model Number 106.55526400 My side by side fridge quit working no cooling at all all my meat in freezer went and a long with everything in fridge my relay start device doesn't sound like bb's rattling when you shake it but there is a small sound my fans work you can hear them running there is no ice build up I've cleaned out all under fridge and the compressor turns on and runs then seems to turn off and in the back it's a Kenmore coldspot what could be the problem or how do I find out
1 Answer Courtney, anytime the fans are running, the compressor should be running. Ig the compressor is stopping and not running when the fans are running, the start device is probably defective and would need to be replaced, the part number is WP2319792 Read More...
Fernando Delgado January 13, 2018 for Model Number GSH25SGRBSS I ordered a start relay for my GE refrigerator from your site recently. I ordered it because several self-help sources indicated that if the start relay makes a clicking noise when shaken then it’s broken. The new part I received also makes the same clicking sound when shaken (like something is loose inside). Was the new part I received defective?
1 Answer Fernando, No, there will be a slight rattle of the start device but when it is bad would sound like bb's inside of it and if you tap it on your hand then small particles will come out of it. Read More...
Mark M. November 23, 2016 for Model Number GSL25JFTABS Electricity went off for about one hour. It came back on and lights worked inside. The icemaker would not dispence ice, later we noticed that the freezer was not keeping things frozen.
1 Answer Hello Mark, This is most likely a problem with the power supply circuitry on the main board WR55X10942C. Read More...

Decio October 11, 2016 for Model Number GE GSL25IGRBBS Hi, I do have a problem with my GE GSL25IGRBBS. There are no sound of the compressor working. When I plug it on energy the light shows on at the front. There is silent sound inside it, like guggle and after a few seconds it stops...as I said the compressor does not start, there are no clicks as the video says would happen, but I´m pretty sure is the compressor start relay, since when I shake this part, there´s a sound of broken, loose metal inside. Best regards, Decio.
1 Answer Hello Decio. If the relay is bad, you will need to order WR07X10084 for your model number. If there is no power there, you will need to replace the main board WR55X10942C. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Mo November 19, 2015 for Model Number gsl25jftabs Fresh food side not cooling, freezer not cooling enough to freeze. Ice make stopped working and frost build up on evap cover. I changed the main control board out and still no change. Evap fan appears to work and also the condenser fan works. Please advise?
1 Answer Hello Mo. You will need to check the evaporator coils and see if there is frost from the top to the bottom of the evaporator coils. If it is not a full frost on the unit, then you have sealed system failure and will need to have an HVAC tech come and repair the unit. If the entire coils are frozen from top to bottom, then you need to address the defrost issue on the unit. Check the heater and thermostat on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Kevin July 14, 2015 for Model Number GSH22JSTDSS My start relay is giving me continuity and none when I flip it over but it's giving me 6 ohms resistence and then when I flip it over my multimeter says 1. Does that sound like the relay is defective and needs to be replaced? Otherwise, I can test to see if power is getting to the compressor but what setting am I using on my meter?
1 Answer Hello Kevin, The test for the start relay is to remove it from the compressor and shake it. If the ceramic disc inside has shattered, you will hear it rattle and it will need to be replaced. If it does not rattle, it is good and you should test the overload. It should read the same resistance as when the meter leads are touched directly together. When testing for voltage at the compressor you will be looking for 120Vac. This will be on the lead to the overload, not the relay. Read More...
Michael November 03, 2014 for Model Number GSH25JFTCCC (GE) Hi, our refrigerator stopped working, lights come on nothing is working. Tested the compressor it is ok. Could this be the relay. I shook it (relay) and it does make noise but could that be the thing causing everything else not to work other then the lights. We had a black out the night before but the fridge was working ok after.
1 Answer Hello Michael. Test for power to the compressor. If there is none there, the main board WR55X10942C is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
