Problem is this refrigerator is very old. Circa 1980s. I removed the relay and it rattles and the fact it was brittle and some of the plastic covering the connectors broke. JUNK I do not know where to find one of these now and what I should do. I can't afford a new fridge at the moment so I want to at least get this to run for a few months. Here are some images of the relay. Also, I cannot find a model # or manufacture date on anything. Images included jameswiggin attached the following image(s):
