Sears Kenmore Freezer (1995) tries to start, clicks, compressor hums, then stops. Repeats every half minute or so. I believe the starter-PTC and/or the run capacitor is broke. Removed the part (starter+run attached together). It rattles a lot. So would like to use a Supco hard-start capacitor to see if will maybe fix and at least diagnose if the compressor is bad. If compressor bad, will discard freezer. The compressor only has 2 prongs; expected to see 3 of them: start, run, overload/common. The starter-PTC has prong receptors labeled left to right, 5 and 6 (not R and S, or S and R). starter-PTC has a 3rd receptor labeled 9, but there is no corresponding compressor prong. And, of course the Supco has 3 wires - but where to attach them????????? Searched everywhere and no luck. Here are photos (if allowed): https://photos.app.goo.gl/47iCfDYhzm5THq1KAThanks, Jimmy
