Compressor would not start.Just heard the relay triping off. Tested windings with meter. Tested ok. Replaced relay. Worked fine for over a week. This morning back to the clicking relay. unplugged for an hour. And now it is working fine,, so far. Compressor does not seem to be to hot. It is a Techumsa. I hope its not a bad compressor has I can not locate my recipt from the store. Thanks for any advice

The overload on the compressor could be faulty. If it is the compressor, most places don't need a reciept as the serial# tells when it was manufactured, as long as it's under 5 years old.

Thanks for reply and the tip about the reciept. i thought the relay unit I replaced had the overload inside it. Is it inside the compressor? thanks

Well it was working fine till Thanksgiving morning. Of course that would be the day, hours before the family was to arrive. Unplugged it for most of the day. then plugged it back in,and it is working. ???
Maybe its a short somewhere? My wife did mop the kitchen floor and maybe moved the fridge a bit, or the cord. Any thoughts?
