Hi!
A relay starts the compressor with a higher voltage and then quickly kicks out
It does a lot of clicking (trying to start over and over again)
If thats what is happening with yours
Its best for a tech to replace The relay but you can do it
Take your model number to your Local Appliance parts store they will have a diagram
showing you how to install the relay. Its called a hard start relay
I use part no ERP410 POWER START RELAY, CAPACITOR AND OVERLOAD all in one. (110 v)

If you would like me to assist you more just let me know HERE or here on Fixya. Seems lately customers are having a little trouble navigating the site due to so many new changes. Hope this helps, so let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze
