Compressor Start Device Parts

Fixes refrigerator clicking noise and compressor not starting. This overload relay protects the compressor from overheating and restores normal operation.

Fixes a refrigerator that won't cool while lights and fans work. This thermal overload protector prevents compressor damage. DIY install in 15 minutes.

Refrigerator won't start or stops running? A failed capacitor disrupts motor circuits. This film radial capacitor restores voltage stability and operation.

Start relay for refrigerator compressors that helps the compressor begin running at power-up. Replacing a failed relay can restore normal starting behavior and resolve common startup symptoms. What it does

• Provides the initial start current path to the compressor during startup.
• Allows the compressor to reach running speed, then drops out once the motor is running.
• Common symptoms a bad relay may cause: compressor clicking, humming without starting, intermittent cooling or frequent cycling.
• Installed as the electrical component used only on compatible compressor assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access the relay at the compressor; remove and replace the relay only after confirming diagnostics.
• Dispose of the old electrical part per local regulations.

This capacitor helps start and run the refrigerator's compressor and/or fan motors so the appliance cools reliably. Replaces a worn or failed capacitor to restore normal motor operation and reduce hard-starting. What it does:

• Provides the initial electrical boost motors need to start turning
• Helps maintain steady motor speed during operation
• Commonly linked to symptoms like compressors that hum but don't start
• Needed if refrigerator cycles frequently or cooling is inconsistent

• One capacitor

• Disconnect power before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Verify wiring and terminal orientation before reconnecting

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 hums and shuts down or won't start with this compressor overload protector. Simple DIY repair that restores safe operation.

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.

Compressor won't start or runs intermittently? This start relay and overload helps the motor get up to speed so your refrigerator runs reliably again.

Refrigerator clicking but not cooling? A failed compressor overload protector prevents the compressor from starting. This part restores normal operation.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or clicks without starting. This PTC starter relay helps the compressor engage properly. DIY repair in under 30 minutes.

Wine cooler compressor won't start or cycles off quickly? This overload protector prevents compressor damage from electrical overloads or overheating.

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

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or run with this compressor overload protector. Prevents compressor damage from electrical overheating. Easy install.

Fix unresponsive controls or erratic temperature regulation. This main circuit board manages compressor, defrost cycles, and user settings in freezers.

Refrigerator won't start or compressor clicks but doesn't run? This start relay and overload protector helps the compressor motor start reliably.
