Sounds like the start relay is fubar, and some current limit does not
trip a clicks-on switch.  And start relay is now a misnomer as these
have been replaced with thermistors.

Yes, there is a thermistor puck inside the relay assembly.

I had the same problem recently, its the overload relay, actually
thermistors as previously noted.

This thread is for a different model but will help

Archon,

I hope fervently that you are right. I bought those parts:

Shipped from CA to IL, I will probably get them on Monday. I am very
anxious.

I didn't see any response to Bill's suggestion about the freezer not
defrosting (I have had this happen-timer can also fail while
defrosting, heat the freezer, defrost everything and melt plastic!)
