Robert for Model Number MTB 2156 GEW rev13 Maytag refrigerator Below is the answer to my previous question regarding which wires go where,everthing is good except the part about the ground wire. There is no green wire except for one attached to the refer chassis which goes into the wireing harness. Should I make up a ground wire attach one end to the chassis and the other end to the tab on the compressor? Answer, KIT, OVERLOAD/RELAY - Kit was recently redesigned by manufacturer. Instructions included. Part Number: AP4009659. You first install the overload ion the compressor top "tri"terminal w/ blue wire attached. Then push on the ptc relay. Then hook the white neutral wire on the #1 ptc terminal. The jumper wire goes to the origional narrower orange wire terminal which the other side hooks to the # 2 terminal . Yes all the wires will slide through the large cover side slit opening. The green wire is chassis ground and needs to be secures to the compressor side tang with a screw hole. It has a ground symbol next to it. Scrape the black paint from this point as you need a solid bond electrically for ground. Make sure the screw does not extrude into the relay assy. If you have a model with the run capacitor, you can connect it between the #1 and the #2 terminals. Place the cover under the bottom of the relay area and clip the bottom of the cover there. Make sure you dress the wires so they have proper slack and do0 not get pinched. Then finish snap,clipping the top of the cover to the compressor clips. This will take a little effort as the compressor runs and jiggles. It needs to be safe and tight. Thank you.
Answer Hello Robert. If there is no ground wire on the unit for the compressor, you will need to make one and run it from the chasis to the compressor tab. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, December 8, 2011
