ive got an 8 year old upright freezer that the compressor isnt starting up. ive done a continuity test and an ohms test .alls good so im trying to buy a new relay for this model but apparentlly the part is obsolete, any ideas if i can use another model of freezers relay! b.t.w looking at the old relay and opening it up ,i couldnt see any thing wrong with it and cleaning the terminals and magnet still wouldnt start the compressor so now im stumped .
