I have ordered a replacement part #2154697 (combo start relay and overload). I need help in figuring out which wire (red and white) goes to which relay. Also, the start relay has four terminals marked #1-4. Which one do I use? Part Details - WHIRLPOOL Relay, overload and cover kit, part number: 4387835 Thank you.

I will let you know for sure in a day. What are all the pin #'s for? What is the reason for providing 3 pins - there should be a reason. Please let me know. Again - thanks a lot - if this works, it will save me a bunch!
