My old refrigerator , If you got it in Rockingham NC from Ron Jones estate it is,,,The problem I had with it was it needed a defrost timer and the fridge never would get as cold as I wanted the air duct thermostat thing needed replacing. |

Hi, adding to what David said in reply #1, I would use the 3 in 1 relay for 1/4-1/3 HP compressor with the start capacitor.
This refrigerator just has the condenser on the back of the ref [ no condenser fan motor to worry about or clogged condenser issues ] The relay is located under the front of the ref behind the aluminum kick-plate on most of the 63 refs, on some it is mounted closer to the compressor in the rear.

I appreciate that additional recommendation and will take a look under the unit to locate the start relay. Thanks again! |

So did you happen to sell it to a guy named Tyler? That's who I purchased it from and he has a bunch of washers and dryers, mostly Frigidaire. |
