I found a bad starter on the compressor, but when I went to look up the parts to order, they were different than what I was removing, and there was no indication that it was a sub. To be specific, the part I removed was a combo starter/overload numbered with 513604045 which points to WR07X10097. The parts in the parts list show a separate starter and overload, wr07x10084 and wr08x10025 respectively. I did install the listed parts, and the compressor seems to be working fine.

Why is there a discrepancy between what I found on the machine and what the parts list shows? Customer says it has never been worked on before.

The compressor start device you put in (WR07X10084) if a copper coil type will eventually ruin your compressor.
The start device(WR07X10097) is the proper type for your compressor. Which site was it that showed this was the correct part for your fridg.

The parts I installed are the ones that show on the parts list through the vendor that sold them to me, and another vendor that I use, and even Sears, #733 and #735 on the sealed system page. In other words, three different resources all point to the discrete parts that I installed as correct.

Even Embraco has a compressor booklet online that says "TSD-150v" as the starting relay type.

Please help me understand how you came up with the combo unit as the correct part. I will go back and replace it.

You stated the part you took out was the combo unit WR07X10097 That is the device you should use.
If you ordered the part WR07X10084 from this site, I will send this site a msg. stating it is the wrong part.

Check to see if the compressor is Embraco or Samsung. If Samsung, or other foreign type, you might be ok: they use an impedance protected one, while all the Embraco's I have seen are not, and you must use the packaged start device.

Please point me to a parts list that shows the combo unit is correct.

(sorry for multiple posts, my reply was being rejected due to a forbidden word, but I couldn't figure out which one.)

I checked different sites, one says "unknown" others specify the part WR07X10084
They can't all be wrong, so you are probably ok.
Just tested a GE compressor similar to yours. Start winding only drew 7 amps with 115 volts applied. Real power dissipated only about 380 watts for both windings. Compressor survived and any extended power period will be terminated by the Klixon.
