Reddit reviews Supco RCO810 3 n' 1 START Hard Start Kit

It's almost definitely just the 50c relay. Look up a youtube video on "fix fridge compressor relay hard start" and you'll be able to fix it for like $15. I fixed my keezer with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A8O0E5Y/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and now that it has a proper relay I expect it'll last a decade. Freezers are incredibly simple devices.

A real helluva engineer wouldn't even ask that question. I'm disappointed, but willing to offer some guidance to get you back on track.

In all likelihood, the compressor is fine, and the problem is a failed starter relay. I was able to revive a "dead" freezer I got off CL by replacing the PTC Starter Relay, like this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WQFRT1A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Probably the easiest thing to do is buy a Hard Start Kit like one of these - https://www.amazon.com/Supco-RCO410-Start-Kit/dp/B008YDSH6E/ref=pd_cp_60_1/142-1528411-3970020?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B008YDSH6E&pd_rd_r=9159887b-4c9d-4262-bc3d-29a057ef67c9&pd_rd_w=rgcC7&pd_rd_wg=9fJEC&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=M3750DQ3G24AXTZH74PH&psc=1&refRID=M3750DQ3G24AXTZH74PH or https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A8O0E5Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Figure out the right one for your freezer; that 1st link has a place to enter your model number. You can just install this and be done, or if that gets it running, you could pull this back out and then replace the failed part, knowing that you're on the right track.

If the freezer doesn't run with the hard start kit, then cut your losses and replace the freezer. Hey GT ain't much for a sports fan lately, but they at least turn out people qualified for appliance repair.

Its not just the a single capacitor on the units that is prone to failure, a compressor start circuit usually contains a starting capacitor with resistor, run capacitor and a relay. Often these parts are married to an overload protection device. Last, you can have the compressor itself fail. The good news is that all of these parts can be easily obtained, and there are universal replacements that fit many different makes. Hers is a really popular one, its $12. https://www.amazon.com/Supco-RCO810-START-Hard-Start/dp/B00A8O0E5Y

Sorry to bother, wasn't sure if you saw it before! \^_\^

not sure how or if it will work for what you're using it for but - you need a relay and overload to start that compressor -

this will get it going if it is from a full size refrigerator:

if it is from a small refrigerator this one:
