Looking for parts for top mount compressor GE refrigerator (moved)

Hi Ron, and welcome.  That machine being a CA-2-B16 tells us all you need to know.  The model "CA" machines are very special and need specific maintenance in order to function.  If the start relay coil looks to be blackened or charred, it can mean that the compressor its self has suffered a failure and drawn too many amps for too long. If the relay is simply not starting the compressor, the chance is that the compressor is stuck from lack of maintenance these need. 

Definitely look over the CA machines section of the forum. Lots of info there!
Sincerely,
David

The refrigerator was running fine, it just stopped the other day. I took the cover off of the relay it looks charred, I cleaned it up and plugged it back in. It ran for about 2 houses and then shut down again. I can see the relay is making contact but it try’s to start the compressor and then nothing.

Hi Ron. Thanks for the pictures. I have placed them in your original message so that people who look at this thread in the future will have the benefit of them.

Thankfully, the relay does not look as if the series coil has been burned. That would indicate possible motor damage. Thankfully, in your case, the coil is still good. On the top picture, there is a blue arrow pointing to the coil winding. It still has the shiny clear varnish on the magnet wire; as opposed to burned charred and dull varnish.

In the second picture, there is a circle around the contact area. There are two "points" similar to how an old engine distributor breaker points set is constructed. These two points make contact briefly, once, each time the compressor is powered on. The angle of the camera makes it so that we can't actually see both of the contact points. There is a little black soot on the relay near the points. This is normal, and yours seems to have less soot than most; so I don't expect the points are totally gone. 

Could you take a short video clip of the relay operation, with the cover removed? Be mindful that the relay mechanism is electrically live when the fridge is plugged in; so be sure to keep your distance.  The normal operation is that the relay armature moves out, the contacts touch, the compressor starts, and then the relay armature goes back in. There should be a minor spark at the points when they open back up, and maybe a small spark when they initially touch. No spark at all would mean that they aren't making contact at all. Constant sparking would mean that they are making poor contact. 

Just wanted to thank turbokinetic for all of his help. He walked me through a bunch of trouble shooting steps to finally get my girl running! I have found so much useful information on this form. Turns out the compressor was frozen. I followed the video from the form on how to free up the compressor. Thank you for all for your input.
