HELP WITH AS-76 GM FRIGIDAIRE RELAY REPLACEMENT

[GREATDANE]

Model Number

AS-76

JUST A GIRL WHO CAN'T FIND HELP REPLACING YT RELAY WITH NEW ONE. 3 REPAIRMEN - 2 ELECTRICIANS, ALL SAID "TROW AWAY THE FRIDGE."

I HAVE SUPCO 1/8 HP AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WIRING. ONE WAY- COMPESSORE WON'T TURN OVER, ANOTHER WAY-COMPRESSOR WON'T STOP BUT IT'S COOLING GREAT. SHOULD I JUST LET I RUN AND SEE IF IT EVER STOPS?
HELP! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WIRING...NO ONE IN North Carolina WILL HELP ME.

ANOTHER WAY-COMPRESSOR WON'T STOP

That has nothing to do with the relay (which only starts the compressor). It is the thermostat that stops power from going to the relay to cycle the compressor on and off... unless however you wired it, it bypassed the thermostat's operation.

There are some diagrams of wiring on a similar fridge in this previous forum message.

1955 Antique Frigidaire SS 74 Relay

We have a 1955 Frigidaire SS 74 model. The compressor isn't working and we think the relay switch is bad and we are trying to figure out what relay switch we need to be looking for to replace it. Want to start there rather than just get rid of the refrigerator. Thanks
