Look for a small dameter stiff wire clip around the plastic cover. Roll it off the cover and it should come off to expose the parts you need to replace.

The start device may be arc welded to the compressor pins. Bust off what you can and use a dremel with grindstone to dress up the compressor pins.

I got the cover off - boy is it a tight fit in there - and of course the cover has a picture of where to put a screw driver to pop the cover, only the picture is not visible due to the orientation of the relay/ol device! At any rate I do appreciate you responding back. If it's not to much trouble maybe you have some advice on how to wire the substitute part that was sent to me. My refrig is at Rev. 13; all the parts sites I look at have parts diagrams for Rev 10, Rev 15 and Rev 18. I had the recall tech come out in 2009 and assumed he performed the recall (posible fire hazard w/ the relay). But when I look at the parts that are there they match the pictures of the parts you use for Rev 10. Now when I ordered the Rev 10 part I was sent a substitute, 60006022, that doesn't have as many terminal points as there are wires from the old setup. There are only two terminal lugs on the new part, one of which I have figured out gets the blue wire from the old overload unit. What I can't figure out is what to do with the remaining two wires, one is a short white jumper wire that connects tto two orange wires, the other is a white wire. The substitute unit plugs onto the three compressor posts (that form a V) so that's simply enough, but how the heck do I handle the remaining two female connectors with only one remaining male lug (located on the relay). Was I shipped the wrong part? Know of any sites with pictures I can view? Thanks. Sorry for the length.

Your new start device should look identical to the old one AP5178110 It has one set of pins that the fridg connector plugs into and two others where the run capacitor plugs into. If not, you will have problems.
