WR01F01680 – Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Start Device

The WR01F01680 is a Genuine OEM GE refrigerator compressor start device designed to help the compressor motor start properly and maintain reliable cooling performance. This essential refrigerator component attaches directly to the compressor and delivers the electrical boost required to initiate compressor operation.

Manufactured to original GE factory specifications, the WR01F01680 ensures proper electrical performance, dependable compressor startup, and long-term refrigerator cooling reliability. If your refrigerator is failing to start, making repeated clicking noises, or not cooling properly, replacing a faulty start device often resolves these common compressor startup issues. Verified by major appliance parts distributors including AMRE Supply and Reliable Parts.

Available from Appliance Kingdom with fast Canada-wide shipping for homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair professionals.

What Does the WR01F01680 Start Device Do?

The start device is responsible for helping your refrigerator compressor start and cycle properly.

When the refrigerator calls for cooling, the start device briefly delivers the electrical assistance needed to start the compressor motor. Once running, normal operation continues until cooling demand is satisfied.

Using a genuine OEM start device ensures:

  • Reliable compressor startup performance

  • Correct electrical load handling

  • Consistent refrigerator cooling

  • Reduced compressor strain

  • Long-term appliance protection

A defective start device can prevent the compressor from starting entirely, resulting in temperature rise and potential food spoilage.

Common Symptoms of a Failed Refrigerator Start Device

A faulty WR01F01680 start device commonly causes:

  • Refrigerator not cooling

  • Freezer warming unexpectedly

  • Repeated clicking sounds from compressor area

  • Compressor attempts to start but shuts off

  • Refrigerator completely dead while lights remain on

  • Intermittent cooling cycles

  • Buzzing or unusual compressor startup noises

Replacing the WR01F01680 often restores compressor startup and resolves cooling issues caused by start relay failure. However, if compressor damage is present, additional service may be required. Appliance repair discussions frequently confirm clicking and failed startup symptoms as common indicators of relay/start device failure.
