✅ Cross Reference Information
Current Part NumberWG03F02235
Common Symptoms
- Compressor hums without starting.
- Compressor overload cycles or trips during a start attempt.
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before accessing the compressor-start assembly.
- Inspect the assembly, connector, and compressor-terminal area for loose connections, heat damage, or physical damage.
- Check that the condenser is clean, the condenser fan operates, and the refrigerator is not being supplied through an unapproved extension cord.
- A qualified technician can verify that the refrigerator is calling for cooling and that correct supply voltage reaches the compressor-start circuit; a compressor or wiring fault can produce similar symptoms.
Pro Tip
Do not diagnose this assembly from a no-start symptom alone: GE service information identifies dirty condenser airflow, a non-running condenser fan, low voltage, and a stalled, shorted, or grounded compressor as conditions to check when a PTC relay fault is suspected.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect refrigerator power before removing the compressor cover or start assembly.
- Record wire and component orientation before removal, then ensure the replacement assembly is fully seated on the compressor terminals.
- If the original model uses a run capacitor, retain/install it only as required by that model's original compressor-start configuration.
- Reinstall the compressor cover before restoring power.
