GE Refrigerator Compressor Clicking or Not Cooling? Compressor Overload WR01F04628 — Fix It Fast

A failed compressor overload is one of the most common causes of a clicking compressor, no cooling, and a warm refrigerator in GE-built refrigerators. In most GE, GE Profile, and Café refrigerators, this is caused by a failed compressor overload protector. When it fails, the compressor attempts to start, trips the overload, clicks off, and repeats — leaving the refrigerator warm while the freezer may still hold some temperature. ⚡ High-failure-rate component in GE-built refrigerators — the overload is the first part to check when the compressor clicks. Part WR01F04628 is the genuine GE OEM compressor overload that protects the compressor from overheating and restores normal cooling when the original overload has failed.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ REFRIGERATOR POWERS ON — the unit has power and the interior light works
• ✔ COMPRESSOR CLICKS — you hear a clicking or cycling sound from the back bottom of the fridge every few minutes
• ✔ FANS RUN — the evaporator and condenser fans operate normally
• ✔ ONLY problem is the compressor failing to start or run continuously

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Compressor clicks on briefly then shuts off, repeating every few minutes
• Refrigerator not cooling or warming up gradually
• Freezer still partially cold but fridge section warm
• Compressor feels hot to the touch at the back of the unit
• Rattling sound from the overload when removed and shaken

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this compressor overload restores normal compressor operation and cooling immediately.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: EASY — 10 to 20 minutes. Unplug the refrigerator before servicing. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and locate the compressor at the back bottom. Remove the overload by pulling it straight off the compressor start relay terminal — no tools required. Before discarding the old overload, shake it: a rattling sound confirms it has failed. Snap the new WR01F04628 into place, restore power, and confirm the compressor starts and runs continuously.
