Customer Questions and Answers for Relay And Overload Assembly by Whirlpool

Hello Dale, If the pins on the compressor have been burned, you will need to use sandpaper to clean them up. If they cannot make good contact, the relay will not get good connection and will burn up the relay. If they cannot be cleaned up good enough for proper continuity, the compressor will need to be replaced. To answer the original question, yes, the new components will have to be connected to the pins on the side of the compressor.
