It would help to have a meter and an amprobe but if they are not available, just try to identify the compressor pins. The top one is usually common, the overload device was wired to that. The start pin is usually the left bottom.
If you think this is the pinout, order a klixon AP206490, a thin item and a ptcr AP3414961 a black plastic item. Stick the klixon in the top terminal and the ptcr in the bottom two terminals. One freezer wire goes in the top klixon, the other in the ptcr right terminal and the run capacitor across the ptcr terminals on each side. The capacitor then will be wired between the bottom run and start terminals. Monitor the run current at startup.
You can go to my article "replacing compressor start devices" in the general talk section for more info.
You also could use the URO41, but it is not as reliable. If you do, use a 1000joule surge protector on the wall outlet, make sure it is designed for appliances.

Richappy,
We ordered the following parts.
AP3414961 (WR07X10051) Relay 1 $6.85
AP2061490 (WR8X122) Overload 1 $20.51

I can't figure out how to connect the relay. The original relay has 3 connection terminals-2 go to the capacitor and the other goes to the power, but the replacement relay has only 2 terminals. Are these GE parts going to work with this Haier freezer or do I need to rewire the power, the capacitor, the relay and overload differently? The overload looks like I can connect that up.

Hopefully I used the correct terminology to describe my problem. I'll provide pictures if needed. Sorry to be a bother.

Jeff

Wow, I compared the WR07X10051 to the AP3414961 and it looks like they chopped off the extra pin on the right side, looking at it with the tab on top.
Power and one wire of the run capacitor go to the right terminal, and the other capacitor wire goes to the left terminal.
With only one terminal, you will need to splice into one spade terminal both wires! I just hope your ptcr is electrically the same!!

Hello, I have this same freezer Kenmore 183.13401300. I removed the relay part # RF-0010-65 and took to my local appliance part store. Because part is no longer made they gave me two parts: A overload GE - WR08X10025 and Relay (Supco IC102) 1/12 to 1/3. Now here comes my problem, I removed the original part and don't remember where what was plugged in. Can anyone help me Identify where each wire should connect.

I can help you install this, but you will need a meter to check things, otherwise you run the risk of burning out the compressor.
Update: If you have no meter, I would order another start device as I can't find info on the IC102. Order a AP3414961, WR07X10051 ptcr device, a black square item, about $6.
Virtually all older compressors have the compressor start pin on the bottom, left and the common pin on the top.
Insert the overload in the top, common pin. With the ptcr held with the protrusion on top and the spade terminals facing you, plug it in the bottom two terminals.
Put one refrigerator wire in the top overload klixon, and the other in the ptcr right spade terminal.
If you have a run capacitor, wire it between the two ptcr terminals.
Monitor the total current at start up,. should be between 1 and 3 amps.
Feel free to ask any questions on this.
