Customer Questions and Answers for Overload/Relay Kit by Whirlpool

Hi Johnny. The blue wire goes to the overload which slides on the single pin on the compressor. Not the 2 that are side by side, it is (formed in a triangle) exactly where the original blue wire /overload connection was. Then use the orange wire to hook to the # 2 terminal on the relay. The capacitor connects at pin # 2 and # 3 of the relay. The jumper was an optional part if one of the orange wire did not fit directly on the relay, on some a narrow female spade terminal was used on the orange wire so the jumper hooked on the small terminal and transferred to a regular 1/4" terminal at the relay end. You can crimp a 1/4 " female spade terminal and hook to the relay at # 2 on the relay. The orange wire is the neutral feed from the adaptive defrost control board. Thank You.

Hello TW. The white and black overload with one terminal goes on the single pole on the compressor. You will attach the blue wire to that terminal. Next install the relay onto the compressor and install the orange wire (with the jumper wire on certian modles) to the run terminal, and the white wire to the start terminal. You can look at the numbers on the old realy and match them up to the numbers on the new realy/overload 12002794. Hope this helps.

Hello Don. You can test the run capacitor with a meter MA-DM1. You should see a spike then a slow drop back to zero. The overload/relay kit 12002794 for your model is different than the original relay. It is designed to work for this model number. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
