General Electric wr07x10072 Start Relay

Product Description

The General Electric wr07x10072 is a start relay designed to initiate and support compressor operation in GE refrigeration units. The start relay connects in line with the compressor start winding, providing the brief electrical boost needed to get the compressor motor running before dropping out of the circuit during normal operation. This component is a direct OEM-style replacement part installed by appliance technicians and qualified service professionals during compressor diagnostic and repair procedures.

The wr07x10072 start relay is used in residential refrigeration applications where compressor start assist is required. It mounts directly to the compressor start winding terminals and is a common service item when a refrigerator fails to cool, cycles off shortly after starting, or produces a clicking sound near the compressor. If the compressor runs but the relay rattles or fails the shake test, replacement is typically indicated.

Key Features

• OEM General Electric replacement start relay for refrigerator compressor applications
• Plugs directly onto compressor start winding terminals for straightforward installation
• Addresses common symptoms including failure to start, short cycling, and audible clicking near the compressor
• Compact form factor sized to fit GE refrigeration compressor terminal configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement start relay for General Electric residential refrigeration units requiring compressor start assist components. Refer to the full model and serial number of the unit and cross-reference with GE parts documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect power to the refrigerator at the wall outlet or circuit breaker before accessing the compressor compartment. The relay plugs onto the compressor start winding pins and must be oriented correctly per the compressor terminal layout. Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the relay itself — replace as a complete unit.
