It could be starting the compressor yes, but just not every time it is suppose to.

Yes it could... or the overload or the compressor. If it is shutting down prematurely, a problem in the overload or compressor are possibilities. If it is NOT starting up every time, a problem in the relay, overload or compressor are all possibilities.

BTW. Compressors are much more common to have problems starting up than they are to shut down prematurely as your deduction assumes is occurring but neither are outside the realm of possibilities. That's were proper testing comes in.
