WR07X10088 - GE Refrigerator Start Relay

This GE Refrigerator Start Relay (WR07X10088) is a genuine part made explicitly for GE brand refrigerators, ensuring compatibility and seamless operation. The start relay is a crucial component tasked with initiating the compressor's operation whenever your refrigerator needs to cool. When the thermostat signals the need for cooling, it activates this relay, which then provides the necessary surge of high starting current to get the compressor running. This part essentially enables the compressor to overcome initial mechanical resistance with an inrush of current, thanks to its internal electromagnet that closes relay contacts when energized. Symptoms that might indicate your start relay is failing or broken include your refrigerator failing to cool, the compressor not starting, or hearing unusual clicking sounds from the back of the appliance. If you're experiencing any of these issues, replacing the start relay could be the solution. Before purchasing, double-check your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
