General Electric wr55x24398 Overload Protector

Product Description

The General Electric wr55x24398 is an overload protector (OLP) designed to safeguard refrigerator compressor circuits from thermal and current overloads. This component monitors compressor operating conditions and interrupts the circuit when abnormal heat or amperage levels are detected, preventing compressor burnout. It is a factory-replacement part intended for residential refrigerator applications and is typically installed by appliance service technicians performing compressor-side electrical repairs.

This overload protector is used in residential refrigerator systems where compressor protection is required. It mounts directly to the compressor start relay assembly and operates as part of the sealed system electrical circuit. Technicians replacing a failed compressor or diagnosing a no-start condition on a GE refrigerator unit will commonly service this component as part of that repair procedure.

Installation Notes
