Compressor Starting Device Kit

Dan for Model Number GD5THGXK503

Answer Dan, The overload will attach to the top pin of the compressor connection pins, the start relay will attach to the 2 lower pins across from each other on the bottom. Then you'll need to follow the wiring instructions from the part instruction sheet or the wiring diagram for the unit. Good Luck, hope this is helpful.

Answer Hello Bruce. These do burn out on their own. The capacitor should be ok. If everything else looks good, you should be ok with replacing just this part. Hope this helps.

Steven for Model Number ed2chqxkq00

Answer Hello Steven. You will need to repair any burnt wires on the unit. The starter shorted out and it will need to be replaced. If you repair the burnt wires and replace the part, it should work fine. Hope this helps.

Answer WR, You will want to check to see if there is power getting to the condenser fan motor. If there is not 120 vac at the fan motor then the fan motor will need to be replaced. You would also want to replace the start relay. 

Glen for Model Number Whirlpool Refrigerator ED5FTGXKT02

Answer Hello Glen, The red wire goes to the terminal marked "L" for line. The white goes to the other terminal. Green always goes to chassis ground, (the compressor housing in this case). If you are using the 2188830 to replace the start relay and overload, you will need to get two 1/8" female spade connectors to crimp onto the ends of the wires. Otherwise you will have a lose connection that will produce a no cool situation. If you do not want to use the crimp on connectors, you will need to use the relay and the overload and in this case the red wire goes to the overload, (white component). 

Rob R for Model Number KSRG25FKSS01

Answer Hello Rob, The compressor starting device kit 8201786 would be the correct kit to buy. The small overload and the relay that is not encased in the white box are the ones that you will need. You will also need to use the wire that comes with the part. This will connect to the small connector to be able to connect to the large connector on the relay.
