Hello,

I've been trying to find a start relay and apparently it has been discontinued. I know there should be a cross for it somewhere.

Compressor GTT57AD - 134 type.

Relay - A1H8 Cubigel SA 3012-5A

P/N AP4565262 Mfg P/N CB65A-1 (relay plus overload, 3 pin, 3 lug)

So I order a CB65A-1 online and get a 2 pin, 1 lug relay that won't work with what I have.

What I have is very similar to this:

I saw a QP2-4.7 relay with 3 lugs like this:

Will this work plus the O/H switch?

If this wouldn't work, can you tell me why?

Or tell me a cross I can use.

Thank you for any help.

Probably yes... I've used a whirlpool start device kit that includes that brown relay on multiple brands. You're not likely to do any damage to the compressor if it doesn't work. Just ID which terminals on the relay are currently used and try that configuration first.
I've seen plenty of rigged compressors that I was surprised were working. Assuming your compressor is the standard 3 pin style you should be able to come up with a combo that works. Just be certain neutral goes through the OL or PTC and then to common pin.

Hooked right up, one lug was in the wrong position but had the same continuity for the side. It fired right up. Looks like factory too....LOL

Thanks for your comeback.

Relay 3rd Pin Location

Old Relay 3rd Pin Hooked Up

I know a little bit about electricity and appliance repair through DIY experience, but am still a self-proclaimed rookie looking to fix my wine fridge. I am looking to replace the same relay discussed here in this post. My relay is definitely the problem. I tested it and can see burn marks, etc. I bought the same replacement from Amazon that you said worked for you, Electric Woot. How did you get the third whole (pin?) hooked up since the replacement only has 2 pins? That third pin is at the end of the wire that connects with a plastic piece that won't fit on the new replacement relay.
