Problem
Fridge compressor relay failed, burned up
Tools
screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, volt/ohm meter, vacuum cleaner
Repair & Advice
The part was readily available from multiple sources. The installation instructions were not. Instructions were not included with the parts kit, but call to Parts Dr. sent me in the right direction and I found this instruction sheet which answered my concerns -

I tested the compressor terminals with the VOM. "Hot wired" the compressor to make sure it was still working and installed the new PTC relay. Instructions for testing and hot wiring a refrigeration compressor can be found on the internet.
Bottom line, the fridge works fine again.
