    Danby dcr101w - need a start relay and overload but parts discontinued

    Model Number: dcr101w
    Brand: Other
    Age: More than 10 years

    Im attempting to repair my Danby DCR101W minifridge. From what i can tell the start relay is hosed and the overload crumbled as i was attempting to remove from the unit. I am having no luck finding replacement parts as they have been discontinued (OEM P/N 050.00.32 and 050.00.33). Is there another part number which would fit my fridge? Any help would be appreciated as this little fridge has sentimental value to me (won it in a bar raffle! ) and i would hate to throw it out!

    First off, I am not an appliance repair guy. I just research and repair my stuff. I just replaced my relay and overload with a generic relay overload start capacitor. It's a Supco 3n'1 Start, bought online for under $12.00. Worked great, now if I can get my ice maker to fill with water.
    BE SURE the connectors are put on the right pins, Do Not rely on the 3n'1 sketch. Samurai appliance has a good explanation of how to I.D. the pins on the compressor.

    The universal Supco 3 in 1 start relays will work but they can damage the compressor as they are designed for older style compressors. Also on a small Danby mini fridge the compressor is going to be very small and I don't think they make a universal start relay for that small of a compressor.
