The Overload PTCR Combo is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This assembly includes both the start relay and the overload. The start relay is responsible for providing an extra boost of power to kick-start the compressor, while the overload acts as a safety mechanism to protect the compressor from electrical overload. Together, they help maintain cooling and prevent damage to the compressor.

A bad start relay and overload combo can occur due to electrical malfunctions or wear and tear over time. If you notice symptoms such as the refrigerator not cooling properly, unusual noises coming from the compressor, or the compressor not starting at all, it may be time to replace the combo.

Symptoms of a bad start relay and overload combo include:

• Inadequate cooling in the refrigerator
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor
• Failure of the compressor to start

Restore the proper function of your GE refrigerator's compressor by replacing the faulty start relay and overload combo with this genuine OEM part.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
