XPARTCO WR07X10131 Refrigerator Compressor Overload Relay
XPARTCO WR07X10131 Refrigerator Compressor Overload Relay
The XPARTCO WR07X10131 is an aftermarket replacement compressor start relay and overload, a PTCR combination device, for GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, and RCA refrigerators. It plugs onto the compressor, helps the compressor start by managing the current it draws at startup, and protects it against overload while it runs. When it fails, the compressor may click but not start, and the refrigerator and freezer stop cooling.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE part. A failed relay is one of several causes of a compressor that won't run, so confirm the symptoms and test the relay before replacing it.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR07X10131 Compressor Overload Relay fixes a GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, or RCA refrigerator whose compressor clicks but won't start, or whose refrigerator and freezer have stopped cooling. Classic symptom: you hear a click from the back of the refrigerator every few minutes, the compressor never runs, and both compartments warm up.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Refrigerator and freezer have stopped cooling
- Compressor clicks but doesn't start
- Compressor won't start at all
- Compressor cycles on and off or trips repeatedly

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator isn't cooling and the compressor clicks. Is this the part I need?
A failed start relay and overload is a common cause of a clicking compressor that won't start. With the refrigerator unplugged, you can test the relay for continuity. A failed compressor or a failed run capacitor can look similar.
What does this part do?
It helps the compressor start by regulating the current sent to it at startup, and it protects the compressor from overload while it runs.
Do I need to open the sealed refrigerant system?
No. The relay plugs onto the compressor terminals from the outside, and the refrigerant lines are not touched.
Will this fit my refrigerator?
It is listed for many GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, and RCA refrigerators, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
