What's a hard start kit?
((snipped))

A hard start kit is just a big condenser with
connections to go in the compressor circuit. I
had trouble with the original original start relay
in my refrigerator from nearly 2 years on, a
repairman changed it to a newer solid state relay
which eventually went bad, then I put in a hard
start kit and have never had any further problem.
About $10-16. Refrigerator is now 30 years old.
