Supco RCO810 Hard Start Kit



3 in 1 Refrigeration Compressor Start Kit
My small freezer was not working and the compressor appeared to be OK. Using this item to replace the suspect start capacitor, overload, and start relay worked well, was easy to install, and reduced the possibility I was replacing the wrong component. The freezer is now running well for over a month. I would recommend this, so long as you know the size of the compressor to match it to the proper kit.

The only disadvantage is there is no good way to mount the kit, which isn't a significant problem.

It Works!!
My Kenmore 5.1 cu freezer started making an odd clicking noise and in investigating found that the compressor was cycling on the thermal overload and the freezer was beginning to warm up a bit..
Checked the compressor windings and then checked the capacitor and they both appeared good.
It's a gamble because even though compressor windings can show good the compressor can still be bad because of a mechanical problem within the compressor.. The start relay was the only other thing I really couldn't test so I decided to spend a few dollars on this hard start kit before spending a lot of dollars buying another freezer.... The gamble payed off...after installing this hard start kit the freezer is running fine now..!!

works great
I used this to replace the starting relay and overload on a 1964 Cavalier Coke Machine. It worked like a charm. Super easy wiring. The wire pigtails come with the right connectors to push onto the Common-Start-Run connections on the compressor. Excellent product.
