I have determined that the start relay is bad and ordered the replacement Relay and Overload Kit 4387835. I have the new parts and would like to confirm my understanding. The start relay on the refrig is the old part number so the new one is somewhat different. The picture shows the start relay I currently have.

My understanding is that the red will go to the new overload. The white will go to pin 1 on the new relay and the blue wire will go to pin 3. Is this correct or do I need to separate the 2 white wires?

Thank you for the assistance
Ron

Keep the white wires together. If the new start device is a box with three output compressor terminals, it is polarity insensitive, just plug in the spade terminals from the fridg.

Richappy,
The relay for my model has 2 spades (1 & 2) on 1 side and the other has spade 3 which is a normal spade and spade 4 is small spade. So I will leave the white wires together and they will go to spade #1. The capacitor wire (blue) I believe, should go to spade 3. Are you familiar where I might find a wiring diagrams?

Thank you very much.
Ron

Order the start device AP3885081 specified for you fridg and use one of the large boxes similar to the old one.
