How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP4009659 / 12002782 Kit, Overload/Relay

I wrote down where the wire were plugged in. Pulled capacitor and overload relay. Ordered and replaced them and she's good as new. 

I spent some time looking at the back of the compressor by the relay and saw that it had burn marks and one of the wires had burned off. I logged on the AppliancePartsPros.com and looked up the parts and looked for others that had similar problems. I had a version 10 which was about 15 years old. I did find some info enough to order parts, the difficult part of the process is that Overload relay on my compressor was a single part and the replacement was 3 different parts. The parts arrived and I got no instructions as how to convert to the new parts so I logged back on an found a very helpful video that was close enough to my compressor that I could do the replacement. It is important to note that wire colors are not consistent so paying close attention to where the wires are connected is important. After some work I was able to get everything hooked up and the Freezer and Refrigirator are working normally. I should note that I also changed the Run Capacitor also. Not sure it needed it however I would suggest doing it with this version of compressor. 

Replaced the existing overload with new overload/relay kit and cleaned condenser coil with compressed air. Reconnected everything back, plugged it into receptacle and the compressor started. Work better than before. Always a good idea to clean condenser, helps refrigerator run better. Thanks Appliance Pros!
