I have a Vinotemp VT-27 TS wine cooler that has served me well for around 4 years, and it just recently went out. Well, only the relay and overload, they had the rattling sounds on both, and the wine cooler has the common clicking sound when plugged in. I'm no electrician, but I know I could get this up and running with the help of members on this forum. I have a red wire that goes to the overload, and a blue wire that goes to the relay( I live in the U.S. Wiring may be a little different...). The relay reads QP2 4.7 and has 1 pin that plugs into the blue wire, and the bottom two prongs on the compressor. The overload just has one pin and plugs into the red wire, and to the top single prong on the common of the compressor. So to sum things up I only have a red and a blue wire, unlike other fridges and coolers that have more, maybe to run fans, grounds, or anything else that might need to pass through these. So now the problem Is buying a R&O kit that fits and finding out how to wire it. I found a kit on amazon for about $13 (had really good reviews), I also asked around amazon and was told by several people that this kit worked good on their vinotemp wine coolers and mini fridges, which are pretty much the same. The only problem with this kit is that there are 4 pins on this new relay and I only have one blue wire... So what pin on this relay does this blue wire go on? If anyone out there could help me, I would really appreciate it, I can provide you with all the info needed, thanks.

The part I purchased is in the URL below

I also need you to measure the ohms of the old start ptc device shown.

As for the ohms on the old start relay, I removed the relay after the picture, and it was no good at all. It had small pieces of the ceramic element inside... I measured the actual prongs on the compressor to check if the compressor was grounding, or if the compressor is still good, and it seems it's still good. I can't find much about the original relay all I know about it is it has QP2-4.7 on it and it has one single terminal (next to a 2 marked on the relay) and the blue wire was attached to this one.

Here is a better picture of the old relay with 1 terminal:

Hello,

To the original poster, victor905...So, what was the ultimate resolution in laymen terms? I have the same issue, and would like to know what wires to plug in where on the new relays.

Thank you,
