Product review (5 stars): You should be glad, if this is the part that failed, it probably saved your compressor
This part sits attached to the hip of the compressor so no wonder it blows. Probably some of the capacitors dry out, or the chips overheat. The good part is that it is an easy part to replace. The syptoms are, the refrigerator suddenly stops cooling. If there is a condensor coil fan, the fan keeps working hard but to no avail. as the compressor never turns on. Indicates that the main controller board of the refrigerator is working fine. Cleaning out the coils (nightmare on a GE built in refrigerator, who designed this thing), does not help, this is the part that probably needs replacing. Comes with the wiring harness adapters, one of which will most probably fit your refrigerator, else you can pull out the one from the original board.
