Refrigerator Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
• Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
• Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
• Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss

• One compressor overload (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
• Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or start. This compressor start relay helps your compressor run reliably and prevents clicking sounds. Easy DIY repair.

Fix a clicking fridge that won't cool with this compressor overload protector. Protects motor from overheating damage. Simple 10-15 minute DIY repair.

This is a compressor overload protector that prevents the compressor motor from overheating by cutting power when excessive current or temperature is detected. It attaches directly to the compressor and is a critical safety component. Replace this part if the compressor fails to start, cycles on and off repeatedly, or if the refrigerator stops cooling entirely.

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

Motor won't start or keeps shutting off? This refrigerator overload protector stops the motor when it overheats, preventing damage and unsafe operation.

Refrigerator not cooling or compressor not starting? This overload relay kit protects the compressor from electrical overload. Moderate DIY repair.

This is a compressor start device that helps the compressor motor start up by providing the initial electrical boost it needs. It combines the functions of a start relay and overload protector in one unit. Replace this device if the compressor won't start, the refrigerator or freezer isn't cooling, or you hear a clicking sound followed by the compressor shutting off repeatedly.
