BlueStars WR07X10097 12uF 250VAC Relay & Overload for G.E

Description

Product Overview

The BlueStars WR07X10097 is engineered as a high‑performance relay and overload assembly specifically designed for General Electric (GE) refrigerator lines. Featuring a 12 µF capacitance and a robust 250 VAC rating, this component delivers precise control over the compressor cycle, ensuring consistent temperature regulation and protecting the appliance from voltage spikes. The unit measures 1 × 1 × 0.7 inches and weighs just 3.84 ounces, making it compact enough to fit within the limited space of most refrigerator control panels while providing the durability required for long‑term operation. Manufactured by BlueStars, a reputable name in industrial electrical components, the assembly adheres to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, guaranteeing a seamless fit and reliable performance that matches or exceeds the discontinued part numbers 1265640, AP4300623, PS1766101, and 513604045.

Built from high‑grade insulating materials and a corrosion‑resistant metal housing, the relay is tested to withstand frequent on‑off cycles and the harsh electrical environment typical of refrigeration units. Its design incorporates a built‑in overload protector that automatically disconnects the compressor in the event of an overcurrent condition, thereby safeguarding the motor and extending the lifespan of the entire refrigeration system. The product’s best‑seller rank of #3 in Overload Relays and a 4.5‑star rating from over 570 verified customers underscore its reliability and popularity among both professional technicians and DIY homeowners.

Usage

This relay and overload assembly is ideal for a wide range of GE refrigerator models, including but not limited to the PFS22 series (PFS22MBSABB, PFS22MBSAWW, PFS22MBSBBB, etc.). It is suitable for residential kitchen appliances, commercial refrigeration units, and any application where precise temperature control and motor protection are critical. Installation typically requires the refrigerator to be unplugged, the existing relay to be removed, and the new assembly to be mounted in the same location, aligning pins with the existing wiring harness. The component’s universal pin configuration ensures compatibility with the majority of GE control boards, reducing the need for additional adapters or wiring modifications.

Because the part is designed to meet OEM standards, it can be used by professional service technicians for warranty‑compliant repairs as well as by knowledgeable homeowners seeking a cost‑effective solution to restore cooling performance. The assembly’s compact size allows it to be installed in tight spaces without compromising airflow or heat dissipation, making it a practical choice for both new installations and retrofits. Users are advised to follow standard safety precautions, such as wearing insulated gloves and confirming that the appliance is fully powered down before beginning the replacement process.

FAQ

Is this relay compatible with all GE refrigerator models?

The WR07X10097 is designed to fit a broad range of GE models, especially those in the PFS22 series. However, we recommend confirming your specific model number with our support team to ensure a perfect match.

Can I install this part myself, or do I need a professional?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic electrical work. The process involves unplugging the appliance, removing the old relay, and mounting the new assembly. If you are unsure, a qualified technician can complete the installation quickly.

What warranty does this product include?

BlueStars offers a one‑year limited warranty covering any manufacturing defects. This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation or external factors.

How does the overload protection work?

The built‑in overload protector monitors current flow to the compressor. If it detects an overcurrent condition, it automatically disconnects power to prevent motor damage, then resets once normal conditions return.

Will installing this relay improve my refrigerator’s energy efficiency?

Yes. By providing precise control over the compressor’s start‑stop cycles, the relay reduces unnecessary running time, which can lower overall energy consumption and extend the life of the appliance.
