Start device or overload relay

I was looking at buying this off a guy today for $50. I plugged it in, the fans were running, and the compressor was trying to engage. I pulled the relay and it rattled. I was looking here for the relay but I’m not sure what I need? The relay I pulled off looked like a small box (about 1.5" x 1.5") I see the Relay Overload and cover kit (part #AP3083556) and the Compressor Start device kit (part#AP3873993) but both of these don’t look anything like what I pulled off. Suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

JK,

Both or I should say either kit will work on your unit,

I would personally reccomend the star device kit(AP3873993).

No, they will not look like the part you removed originally, but they will work,as long as you label the wires, because the terminals may be in a different location on the new part.

You should be fine either way.
