By using a search on the net, I was able to determine that the relay was bad. It rattled when shook. I took it apart and sure enough the insides where broken. I am not a refrigerator repairman, so everything I did was pure trial and error. I was hoping the one that I bought would work. For 4 dollars, it was worth a chance. I marked the wires on the old one, put the new one on and off she went. That was a week ago and it is still running and cooling.
