Parts for Ge AVS08FAC1: 03 - Section3 Parts

A compressor overload protector that helps prevent compressor damage by interrupting power during motor overheating or excessive current. Replaces a worn or failed overload to restore reliable compressor starting protection. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor by cutting power when the motor draws excessive current or overheats
• Works with the start relay to help ensure proper compressor start and restart
• Commonly replaces units causing hard-starting compressors, frequent tripping, or a compressor that hums but won't run
• Simple, passive device — no user-adjustable settings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or servicing the compressor compartment
• Typically mounts on or near the compressor and connects to the start relay; verify terminal orientation before removal
• Inspect the start relay and wiring when replacing the overload; replace damaged connectors or terminals

This capillary is the thin temperature-sensing tube used in refrigeration control and temperature regulation systems. It helps transmit pressure/temperature changes to the thermostat or control to support stable cooling operation. What it does:

• Transmits temperature/pressure changes from the refrigerator evaporator to the control or thermostat
• Enables proper cycling of the cooling system for consistent temperatures
• A damaged or kinked capillary can cause erratic temperature control or cooling problems
• Commonly replaced when the original tube is punctured, crushed, or leaking

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the capillary carefully; avoid sharp bends, kinks, or crushing the tube during installation
• Route and secure the tube following the appliance's original routing to ensure accurate sensing

This snubber tube cushions and isolates a 3/8" inner-diameter refrigerant/water line to help reduce vibration and protect the line from wear. It's a small replacement tube used where line cushioning or spacing is required. What it does:

• Provides vibration damping and spacing for a 3/8" I.D. line to reduce wear on fittings and connections
• Helps limit noise caused by line contact or compressor vibration
• Protects tubing from chafing where lines pass through brackets or bulkheads
• Can assist in maintaining secure line routing to prevent stress on joints

• Disconnect power and any related systems (water, refrigerant, gas) before beginning work.
• Trim and fit the tube to route lines without kinking; ensure secure mounting and proper clearance.
• Inspect surrounding lines and fittings for wear or damage and replace if needed.
