This PTC compressor start relay briefly powers the compressor's start winding to get the motor turning, then drops out as it warms. Replacing a weak relay can restore consistent compressor starts and stabilize refrigerator and freezer temperatures.

• Momentarily energizes the compressor's start winding; disengages automatically as the PTC element heats
• Helps protect the compressor by removing the start winding after startup
• Symptoms of failure can include compressor clicking but not running
• Intermittent cooling or warming temperatures between cycles
• Heat discoloration or a burnt odor around the start device

• Disconnect power and remove the rear lower access panel
• Note wire locations; remove the start device cover/retainer and pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins
• Inspect compressor pins; firmly seat the new relay and reconnect wiring
• Reinstall covers/panels, restore power, and verify normal compressor start

This temperature control thermostat regulates the cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off as needed. Replacing a faulty control restores consistent cooling performance and makes the setting dial respond correctly.

• Senses cabinet temperature via the capillary bulb and opens/closes contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Corrects issues such as no cooling/won't run (open control) or running constantly/won't shut off (stuck closed)
• Addresses erratic temperatures or a dial that has little or no effect on temperature
• Helps maintain stable, food-safe temperatures once adjusted

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; do not work on live circuits
• Remove the control housing/escutcheon, pull off the knob, note wire positions, and transfer any brackets as needed
• Route the new capillary in the original path; avoid kinks/sharp bends and secure the sensing bulb in the original clips
• Reassemble, restore power, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize; adjust the setting as needed

The Disposer Drain Elbow Kit is an OEM part for GE garbage disposers. Containing two drain elbows and requisite seals, this kit replaces key drain components under the sink.

Symptoms of a bad Disposer Drain Elbow Kit include:

• Leaks at drain connections allow water to enter cabinets
• Inability to efficiently drain wastewater from the disposer unit
