I have a Frigidaire upright freezer model #MFU20F3GW8 that has quit cooling. The fan runs and I hear a clicking every minute or so. I assume this is the relay trying to start the compressor. The top of the compressor gets very hot. I pulled the controller assembly off and I could hear a rattling sound. What do you think? Is it the relay or the compressor?

It definitely sounds like the compressor relay.
