Sevo for Model Number TS25AFXKQ01

I purchased the replacement number APN2188830 for my Estate TS25AFXKQ01. I know the part is not a direct replacement but what do I do as far as switching the pins/connectors. I had the old 4SP part and all of the connections where male on the relay and the wires from the refer were female. On this new part the connections on the relay are both male and female. Also, on the new part there are two male connector pins on the lower part of the relay. Which one does the red wire go to? I only have two wires on my refer. one white and one red. I have the 90HLP compressor. Did I order the wrong part?

Answer

Sevo, On the kit that you received, there are 2 square boxes that have a post on them. Disregard these boxes and concentrate on the black relay with 2 terminals and one of the overloads. The red wire will go to the overload (which is the white small piece with a terminal). The white wire will go to the relay. With the terminals on the relay in the down position then the white wire will go to the left terminal. You will then plug the overload onto one pin (depending on design could be top or bottom pin). The relay will go over the other 2 pins.
