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

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.

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
