CSF20EBC Hotpoint No Frost side-by-side Refrigerator.

Not cooling. Compressor meters good.
Suspect the start relay.
On-line sources say the part is obsolete: WR7X138
(Ebay has one listing under that part number, but it is a light switch)

Are there equivalent start relays that would work? I found one message where someone said WR7X138 and WR7X5058 look similar.

Thanks

Would a Supco 3 N 1 hard start kit work if no start relay is available?
If so, which model number would be appropriate?

Thank you.

It should be the appropriate size but I've never tried one on that style of GE compressor.

There are several models: Supco RCO210 for up to 1/2 hp; Supco RCO410 for up to 1/4 hp; Supco RCO810 for up to 1/8 hp.

The tag has worn off the fridge so I can't get the Compressor RLA info.

Any guidance on which of the Supco kits to use would be appreciated.

Thank you.
