Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Overload/Relay Kit (Part Number: OEM12028995)

1 Answer

Hello Bill, The blue wire is the hot wire. It should connect to the small white device, (overload). The double wire should connect to the terminal on the relay labeled as number 3. The white wire should connect to terminal 2.

Hello Sean, The blue wire is the hot wire so it will go on the overload, (small white component). The run capacitor will connect from terminal 1 to terminal 3 on the relay and the orange wire from the condenser fan/evaporator fan/defrost timer will connect to the start relay terminal two. If you look close, you will see that terminals 1 and 2 are electrically the same. For this reason, the manufacturer will commonly not put terminal 1 on the relay. In this case, the additional wire from the capacitor will have to be put on a piggy back terminal on terminal 2.

John R for Model Number Jenn Air JCD2389GES with Embraco EGY 100HLP compressor

Kit overload relay Part suggested to me was AP4009660(12002784) but the orange wire placement is opposite what was in the original equipment. Will that make a difference? There is apparently another kit unbeknownst to me AP4009662(12002794) which I found out after my second chat. It looks like the orange wire will be at the same side as the OEM placement after examining the photo. My ref serial number is not available. Can you help please?

Hello John. It is best to order the one that is like the original one on the unit. You do not need to reverse the wires.

Hello Cliff. If the lights work, but nothing else, you need to check the cold control and the defrost timer. If there is no lights either, then there is a wiring issue and you need to look for burnt or broken wires on the unit.

Hello Juan. Yes, if there is just 2 wires used on the model number you provided, one wire goes to the white overload and the other should go to number 5 on the relay in the kit 12002794.

Hello Adam, The blue wire goes to the overload, the white contraption with one terminal. The orange wire goes to terminal #2 on the start relay. The two black wires are from the capacitor and will hook to terminals 2 and 3. They are not polarized so you cannot get them crossed. One will hook to the same side as the orange wire (terminal #2) and the other wire will hook to the terminal on the opposite side of the relay, (terminal #3). If the new relay doesn't have two terminals on the same side of the relay, you will have to connect these two (one orange and one black)together and hook them both to terminal #2 on the relay. Let me know if I can assist you further.
