Hi All,
New member here and I had a question regarding my GM Frigidaire ML-77. So, I started working on the fridge a couple weeks ago and noticed the starting relay wouldn't stay engaged. So, I insulated all the breaks in insulation I could find, re-terminated & marked the wires on the compressor, and found that I had loose connections on the starting relay. My relay has a part number of 5516701 and a date code of 10-30-61. Correct me if I am wrong but, this fridge is a late 40's vintage so, I am assuming I am dealing with a replacement part. Once I verified connections and reapplied power the compressor would initiate to start, and that's it. I looked up the relay and cross referenced it to a Mars 21310 solid state relay/ over load. I've read the thread titled 1955 GM Frigidaire Refrigerator New Relay Wiring Problems and found myself having more questions. Is my wiring the same and Cooter's in that thread? Is the relay I had & source insufficient? Any help is welcomed. My apologies if this is a busch league question.
Old Relay: Delco Hot Wire Relay - 5516701 (10-30-61)
Replacement Relay - Mars 21310 Solid State Relay - Overload
