 The relay part number doesn't seem right to me. The replacement part for my '57 GE was WR7X57.
Does it look like this? | ||

I found mine NOS/IB on ebay, but it turned out the existing relay was OK. If you're unable to locate one, hit me up.
Just beware that it's likely you'll be dealing with crispy wiring, so be very careful not to create any more work than you have to. I ended up having to buy a replacement condenser fan motor because disturbing its wiring proved fatal. It kept crumbling all the way back to the motor. | ||

Ok. Thank you. I know there are 3 wires falling apart already. I may end up rewiring it | ||

Well, got an NOS relay. Replaced the wiring and plugged it in. Still no change. It draws hard but never kicks on. | ||

So I'm screwed? I guess I could call around and see if I can find someone that can fix it. Or do I just cut my losses ($200) and scrap it? | ||

It doesn't hurt to try and find someone to repair it, but it will have to be an older guy who actually knows how to repair and doesn't immediately default into a "Buy a new one" advisory.
Even though I made it clear that I wouldn't expect any kind of warranty on the work, particularly since I would have been providing the NOS compressor, I couldn't find anyone who was willing to do the job.
As long as the fridge isn't taking up valuable space, it's worth a try to find the replacement part (a new Embraco compressor would work) and a fearless repairman. Just don't buy any parts until you're sure you have someone who will install them.
Also, based on your experience as well as my own, I'm convinced that these GE relays never fail. That would be way too easy to fix. | ||

Ok. So I bought the supco 3n1 and have no idea how to put it in. Has anyone installed one in a GE combination? My confusion comes from all the internal wiring on the compressor. | ||
