Had a real head-scratcher with a fridge compressor last Thursday in Austin

I was working on a 5 year old Whirlpool and the compressor was hot to the touch but the condenser coil felt cold... turns out the start relay was intermittent. Has anyone else seen a bad relay act like a seized compressor?

Blew my mind the first time I ran into that. Turns a simple swap into a whole troubleshooting nightmare real quick.

Did you ever figure out a workaround that made it less of a headache to deal with?
