Whirlpool W10189190 Start Device for Refrigerator--Wiring L and N

Need some help wiring this start Device (relay and overload) onto the compressor of a Maytag MTB2156DEW refrig. What wires go to L and what to N? There were no instructions.

The existing molex up into the fridge has:

  1. two blue wires, one blue wire to the condenser fan and probably the same blue wire to the overload.
  2. two orange wires , one to the condenser fan and and probably the same to the right side of the broken existing relay in slot 2.
  3. The molex has a green ground wire and the power cord.

The new start device has only two small male terminals … one marked L for line, the other is N. I don’t know which wire goes where.

Is the blue wire the Line and the orange the neutral? Or something else.

This good video might help someone on splicing, if you can find a proper wire harness.

There’s your diagram. You may not have the run cap on yours, it’s absolutely unnecessary for the comp to run.
