I have a Kenmore fridge, I ordered a new start -dev #2319793 and they said this superseeds my old start relay. I need help on how to rewire this to make it work please help!:confused:

Your new start device looks identical to the old one, just plug in the fridg connectors as they where originally and plug in the run capacitor.

You have a hard starting compressor, if you have an amprobe, you would probably see it draws excessive current while trying to start. Your old start device is probably ok.
You could try a AP206490 ptcr and a klixon AP206490, as mentioned in my article "replacing compressor start devices", but the compressor may still not reliably start and you will need a meter to install.
