Exact replacement for GE #225D1204P003 but does not include an overload capacitor

Confirmed that it will successfully replace the GE starter relay #225D1204P003 but it does NOT include an overload capacitor itself which is a resin filled black die that plugs into the top of this device and contains a protrusion that slides over a flagpole-like post that protrudes from the top of the relay's "node" (i.e. its black plastic housing). Forget the bullshit on other sites describing the white insert on the bottom of the assembly as an overload capacitor. The white insert is the overload protector and this kit includes a relay and overload protector. The black plastic case you see in these photos is the "relay assembly" which allows you to connect the overload capacitor to the relay and then connect the combo box to the compressor. That is why the description of this product says "Overload Relay and Assembly" - this means that on its top there is a two-pin plug and a pin where the capacitor is connected. If you just have a faulty starter relay GE #225D1204P003 (I had a very loud click but the compressor was warm but wouldn't start) you can disconnect the faulty relay from the compressor, disconnect the overload capacitor from the faulty relay, connect a capacitor this WR07X10097 without any - or adjustments and then connect the assembled unit to the side of the compressor. In minutes you'll have a working fridge again and the loud clicking is gone. It can't fix a bad compressor!

Pros
  • Good product for its price
