The start relay briefly boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed. The overload provides extra protection for the compressor motor.
By going on line and going to PartsSelect, the check out procedures traced the problem to the start/overload relay. Using a nut driver, I removed the back panel and using their instruction, I installed the overload relay. On the next to the last step on the instruction, the sealer in the kit was already hardened. I called the service hot line at PartsSelect and they apologized and sent me another kit to finish the repair. In two days, the new kit came and the repair was complete. The whole experience with PartsSelect was great.
Never received the part. After 30 days I did receive a full refund. However, that was one month of confused communication and wasted time not being able to use my freezer.
