The K man mentioned that older appliances can destroy the start assist because their winding resistance increases over the years, amperage along with it.
Just read where SUPCO has Potential Relay Hard Start Kits. These are Three-Wire "True" potential relay units, which should provide better results than "E-Series" and the PTCR stuff. LINK
They show it as equivalent to the "5-2-1" units we've mentioned.
