The one on top is brown with three terminals (part #2183454) and a white and black module on the bottom with one terminal (part # 2183456) The part #'s were taken off the modules. Should I replace both? Originally Posted by: richappy They usually have a wire holding it in, rather easy to pry off, but either take a picture of the wiring, or make a diagram on paper.

By the way, the compressor was getting hot when I had the fridge plugged in, but no cooling at all. The fan ran and something (compressor?) was clicking on and off every 30 secs to a minute.
