I just got a new 3/4 HP 120volt compressor for a freezer. However the relay tries to close every 2 seconds or so over and over again. By doing this it continually is trying to engage the S side of the compressor. There is a Start capacitor before the relay but it doesn't seem to keep sufficient voltage for the relay to stay open.

The relay is rated is listed on this page.
