Product review (5 stars): Saved me from buying a new fridge.
Our 1994 Kenmore refrigerator  quit cooling.  I could hear it try to start but it would immediately shut back down.  I recognized this as a symptom of a bad starter relay.  Unfortunately the OEM part is obsolete.  I ordered one of these starers and wired it in (very simple).  The refrigerator started right up and has been running fine since.

If this happens to you and the OEM part is still available for your refrigerator it's better to use the original part (complicated engineering reason).  But if you find yourself in my situation with no option other than buying a whole new refrigerator these work great.  In fact, I'm buying another one just to have in case of an emergency so I don't lose food because of a refrigerator or freezer failure.

Keep in mind if you are thinking of buying one of these that they come with different capacities based on the size of the compressor you're trying to start.  Also, more modern refrigerators or freezers use a run capacitor so they may require a model different from this one.  Do your homework before ordering.  On second thought if you don't know these things maybe you shouldn't be doing this.
