A replacement motor start/run capacitor that helps restore reliable motor starting and smooth operation for compressors and fans. Installing the correct capacitor can reduce hard-starts, humming and intermittent motor operation. What it does:

• Provides the temporary boost motors need to start and stabilize while running.
• Helps compressors and fan motors start more easily and run more efficiently.
• Commonly associated with symptoms like humming, motors that won't start, intermittent operation, or reduced cooling performance.
• Prevents repeated motor stress that can lead to overload trips or premature motor wear.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor and tag/photograph wire locations before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Replace with the exact OEM part or an approved equivalent; do not bend or puncture the capacitor can.

The Start Relay is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It helps initiate the compressor by providing a temporary boost of power to start the cooling process.

Causes of a bad start relay can include electrical failures, overheating, or general wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad start relay include:

• The compressor failing to start
• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Clicking noises coming from the compressor area

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

This is a replacement screw used to secure appliance components and panels so parts stay properly attached for safe operation. It's a direct-fit fastener matching OEM form and function. What it does

• Secures panels, trim, or internal components to prevent rattling or gaps
• Restores factory attachment where a screw is missing or stripped
• Helps maintain proper alignment of housing and service access
• Suitable when repair requires original-fit fasteners

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to threads or plastic parts
• Keep removed screws organized; replace only the screws that match the original locations

This slotted foam plug seals a small access opening in the refrigerator cabinet to help maintain insulation and reduce air and moisture infiltration. It's a simple replacement that restores a tighter cabinet seal and helps the appliance run more efficiently. What it does:

• Blocks service or wiring access holes to help prevent warm air entering the cabinet
• Helps maintain insulation at a penetration point to reduce frost and condensation
• Cushions and stabilizes wiring or tubing routed through the opening
• Reduces noise and vibration where parts pass through the cabinet

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock
• Remove the relevant access panel or trim to reach the opening, then press the plug into the hole until seated
• Trim excess foam only if explicitly required for fit; avoid using solvents or adhesives unless specified by OEM
• Replace the plug if torn, compressed, or degraded to maintain proper sealing
