I wired it up according to my drawing and nothing happens except it hums for about 10 secs and stops.
One of the things I read about replacing a relay is that you should replace the overload as well. What do you think?Compressor seized. Not a relay fault , It will need a new compressor but as it’s not an expensive freezer it would be beyond economical repair.
Is there a way to check the compressor? I measured the resistance between the 3 pins and they agree. See my original messages.
The new compressor and replay would cost £119 but I can but a new decent Hoptpoint for £199.

totally agree and we said that a while ago
you need to give up, its just not worth the time and effort. I know it can give you a feeling of failure, as enginners we have all been there, but there comes a time to stop.
if you worked in fridges and had a spare compressor lying about or take one of another unit then regass it, then maybe it would be worth it to you.in this case you are in the same position i would be in because i cannot change compressors either

A compressor is not only electrical, it is a moving pistion in a cylinder a bit the same as a car engine. In you case the motor side of your compressor is probably fine, its the mechanical piston thats siezed. So no measurement in the world is going to detect that
