WR07X26748 General Electric Start Relay for Freezer and Refrigerator Compressors

Start Relay for Freezer and Refrigerator Compressors.
This part is compatible with various GE brands including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and some Sears-Kenmore models. It is designed as a direct replacement for the PTCR start relay in GE refrigerators, functioning as the initial trigger for the compressor.

The common causes of a malfunctioning PTCR start relay are issues within the PTCR element itself, damage to internal components due to power fluctuations or excessive heat, or simply wear and tear over time.

When a PTCR start relay is failing, several signs might be noticeable:
- The compressor may fail to start or may operate sporadically.
- There could be noticeable clicking or buzzing sounds from the refrigerator.
- The refrigerator might take longer than usual to cool down following a defrost cycle.
- Accumulation of frost or ice in the refrigerator or freezer compartments might occur.

This replacement part is also suitable for use in some models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

Addressing these issues with the replacement part can help resolve several operational problems such as:
- The refrigerator failing to start.
- The freezer section remaining too warm.
- An overall increase in the temperature of the fridge.
