    This relay is much longer in length and there is no capacitor to be found.
    Supco site says the 3 n 1 relay works with or without a capacitor.

    That original relay part number comes up online but good luck finding one.
    That Supco universal 3n1 relay should hopefully work at this point.
    No other option available.

    Turns out there is a label on the compressor but it's at the back and I can't read it because it's in a tight spot with the metal support for the fan in the way,lol.

    Tried using a mirror and flashlight with no luck.
    Tying to see the HP rating for the compressor.
    If it's less than 1/4hp would the 1/4-1/3hp relay still be ok?

    Actually went to buy one earlier today close by and the guy says,"we only sell to trades people because of liability issues",another lol.

    Thanks.
    Found a local appliance parts store that sells parts to the public and they have them in stock.
    First place,United Refrigeration doesn't sell appliances,just refrigeration equipment and parts/supplies.They were the closest Supco distributor 5 minutes away.

    Installed the new compressor relay three weeks ago and it's been working great since.
    Used a Supco RCO410 since there was no capacitor.
    Total plug and play after installing male disconnects on the relay power wires.

    The old Viking continues to conquer

    I doubt the junk made these days would last as long as this unit.

    Similar part fails on fridge compressors too, I have resurrected a couple of fridges for family and my own after replacing it. I keep a spare on hand, for $25 cheap insurance. Nice to see it not go to landfill
