Repairing My Frigidaire Chest Freezer

It was relatively easy to repair my 5.1cc Frigidaire FFFC05M1LW chest freezer. ft. I've never worked with fridges or freezers and couldn't find any guides or guides on the internet for this particular freezer, but turns out they're all based on basically the same idea and are pretty straightforward. I can fix cars and other appliances (dryers, washing machines) so I was able to figure that out by watching some videos of people working with chest freezers and spending a little time fiddling with my freezer to figure out what to what. Long story short, you need to remove the black plastic cover by first removing the top screw (which is actually on the underside of the cover) and then inserting a screwdriver into the small slot. Then remove two or three more screws, including one for the green ground wire. This relay is then pulled right out of the compressor as it is attached with three pins. How do I know I need to replace this? The freezer had apparently stopped working but it was still clicking like trying to turn on and when I removed the bottom grill the compressor was hot but not cooling the freezer. I took it apart and tested the relay (detailed instructions on how to do this are easy to find online) with a multimeter to make sure I wasn't getting the correct resistance value. I ordered this, it arrived the next day, took half an hour to install and reassemble everything and it works great. Freezing again.
