compressor wiring diagram

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair
1

I recently had mouse the eat the white wire that goes to the compressor.

There is two red an white that u hook up to give electricity to power the compressor.

A relative took the off the compresor where common start run prongs

he made a mess.

This unit has four prong running capacitor.

i need diagram on how rewire it back up a few of the wire on the capacitor

an overload relay were showing signs of age.

So the wiring diagram would be helpful

I have hooked up other refrigerator compressors fine fine just not one that has this 4 prong running capacitor

thank you

erik

running capacitor

showing their age.

This is a very old refrigerator. The wires from the refrigerator are red and white. The two red wires get shorted together and go to the spade terminal on the coiled start relay, the white wire goes to the round overload, there is no run capacitor. The start relay plugs into the bottom two compressor terminals, the overload plugs into the top terminal.

I saw your compressor parts at the Sears parts site, but it had no schematic.
I did see a start capacitor though. If you have a meter, I can direct you to wire it up.

On the capacitor there should be two red wires then white an blue

On this setup there was wire going to common i think i maybe wrong/

I tried a different relay over load the compress on 10 secs came then shut off

I also took pics of the relay an capacitor.

I will need to edit thesize of the photos they like 3mb each

`The old compressor terminals where common pin on top , start pin, bottom left and run pin bottom right. The overload wire (the round item) plugs in the top pin, the relay plugs in the bottom two pins. One fridg wire plugs into the overload, the other plugs into the coiled relay. The condensing fan wires are in parallel to the refrigerator wires.

Seems ok to me, just plug everything in and it should run.

You probably have a bad component. I would order a new start device, AP4503032 for this, comes with wiring info.

Here is my relay an start capacitor.

I know relay is not rats a wire into thats all

I have red wire red wires on on one side of the start capacitor

I assume one of the red wire is attached to overload that goes to common

The other red wire is made onto the relay the bottom of relay

Next we have the other side of start capacitor that has two prong

the blue coming off the side of the relay next we have a white wire

i see a place to plug wire beside blue wire

next i see a a place to wire on top of relay

I got a [B][B]SUPCO Powerstart Relay Capacitator Overload RCO810

it says for 1/12 to 1/3 compressors

I installed the freezer cools but not freezing gets to about 53 degrees

Wait for a few more hours, will take time to reach temperature.

11

I waited 24 hours could the start capacitor in that supco not be strong enough

12

If the freezer temperature cannot go any lower, you have refrigeration problems for a pro to look at, fridg probably not worth extensive repairs.

13

What is your freezer temperature?

14

53 degress

answer the question please does the part u mentioned

Allow me to hook a start capacitor to it.

All im asking is for yes or no answer

Please dont tell me to ask tech i will change the compressor myself

All im asking is about that part number nothing more ok

If your compressor is running and condenser warm, you have no starting problem.

Symptoms: Freezer cold/fridge warm/evapourator iced over.
[LIST=1]
*]Continuity checked thermostat - confirmed closed when cold open when warm.
*]Continuity checked heater element - confirmed 28ohms[/LIST]Question:

I would like to check the electronic defrost timer by manually initiating a defrost cycle to confirm timer problem. How can I easily acomplish this?

Some web sites indicate turning on and off the fridge using the on/off button 5 times which should send the unit into imidiate defrost. Do you know which color wires at the connector in the back of the freezer are the ones from the defrost timer? Are there any schematics available?

Thanks for the info. I will run diagnostics as indicted on sheet. If the heater does function in diagnostics forced mode Step 6 does this indicate the timer module requires repalcement?
