Fair enough Dave. I’ll concede defeat and see if it possible to buy a new one. Thanks for all your help and advice.
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.
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?Do you mean like the attached drawing? https://www.dropbox.com/s/scdefxqrkehhjhk/Relay209.jpg?dl=0
Its becoming clearer now. I need to connect a wire from the nut to the right pin of the compressor but what about those 2 wires (brown and white) that go to the thermostat?
Hi Dave,
I’m not having a lot of luck! Can you draw a diagram showing how the mains, the 3 wires from the thermostat, and the 2 wires from the capacitor should connect together? If I connect in the way you describe then the 2 wires (white and brown) appear to be spare.

Here is a Dropbox link to the diagram. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fvq2tnog5jupwet/Relay{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20diagram.jpg?dl=0
Can you tell me where I connect the mains-in wires to this diagram? I do have a starter capacitor.
Hi Tony,
I have now got one of these relays but I have a problem of how to connect as I have two spare mains wires. How do I attach their wiring diagram if I appear not to have enough file space in this message? Perhaps you could advise?I do realise that it is a crap model! All that happened is it stopped working. When switched on it would buzz quietly for about 15 seconds then there would be a click(relay?) and it would stop buzzing. I removed the relay and measured the compressor resistance. The relay appears to be a solid state version and it rattles which I believe is a tale-tale sign that it is had-it. Is this helpful?
