Mike for Model Number Kenmore 10659589990 I previously asked about the wire hookup for WP4387835 and you responded "It looks like the red goes to the overload, blue to the start terminal of the relay and white to the run terminal of the relay. " How can I tell which is the start and run terminals? One side has two same size terminals and the other has one like the other side and a small one. There is no markings on relay that shows run or start. Thanks
Answer Hello Mike. Using a good multi-meter set on ohms, remove the compressor terminal cover with the unit off. Touch one lead (of the meter) to one terminal and the other lead (of the meter) to one other terminal and record your reading . Lets call these terminals (A) and (B). The remaining terminal lets call (C) So for example A-B=5 Ohms Now lets read A-C and record. Lets say 7 Ohms Now lets read C-B and record. Lets say 13 Ohms Now lets add all the A’s= 12 Ohms Now lets add all the B’s=18 Ohms Now lets add all the C’s=20 Ohms The highest reading will be the “Start” winding The next highest reading will be the “Run” winding The lowest reading will be the “Common” winding Therefore B= “Run” The next is C=”Start” The remaining terminal A= “Common” Read More...
