Start Capacitor Parts

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 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.

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.

Fix a microwave that won't heat or has no power with this high voltage capacitor. Critical component requiring careful handling and discharge.

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

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

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.

Compressor won't start or cycles on and off? This overload protector prevents motor damage by cutting power during overheating. DIY-friendly fix.

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

This run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce abnormal motor noise or cycling. What it does:

• Provides the brief power boost motors need to start and maintain RPM
• Helps stabilize motor voltage and improve run efficiency under load
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as motors that hum but won't start, slow or intermittent motor operation, or unusual motor noise
• Reduces stress on motor windings that can lead to premature failure when functioning properly

• One motor capacitor

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely
• Observe proper polarity and mounting location during installation; secure wiring and connectors

This microwave high-voltage capacitor replaces the internal capacitor that stores and supplies the pulse of energy needed for the magnetron to generate microwaves. Restores proper HV circuit operation when the capacitor is faulty. What it does:

• Stores and releases high-voltage energy used by the microwave's magnetron
• Commonly fails after electrical stress, age, or arcing
• Symptoms of a failing capacitor: microwave not heating, intermittent operation, humming or arcing noises, or blown fuses
• Works with the high-voltage circuitry—do not use as a general-purpose capacitor

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before any service.
• Capacitors can retain dangerous voltage even when unplugged—discharge safely using an insulated discharge tool.
• Follow the appliance service manual for correct removal and wiring; replace with the exact OEM part.

This replacement capacitor with internal resistor helps stabilize control circuits and assist motor start in compatible appliances, restoring reliable electrical performance and preventing intermittent operation. What it does

• Provides the capacitance needed for motor start/run and helps suppress electrical noise in control circuits.
• Supports steady voltage during startup to reduce motor humming or failure to start.
• Can resolve intermittent operation, erratic control behavior, or startup delays when failing.
• Contains an internal bleed/resistor to safely discharge stored energy and reduce residual charge risk.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Capacitors can hold a charge — discharge safely and use insulated tools.
• Handle carefully to avoid damage from bending leads or crushing the housing.
