Hello.
I am trying to start a refrigerator compressor with a burnt relay, with a new one, but the one I bought is a generic relay, and the pinout is not the same as the original one.
The new one is this:
As you can see, the are two boxes. The white one has an overload protector inside. The are two "real" pins. The black box (relay) has 3 pins, and pin 1 comes tied to a spare hole in the overload protector, I think that expecting me to wire it to a real pin.
I don't know how to feed it. I tried powering one of the pins in the protector with 220v, the other pin of the protector to pin 1 of relay, and then pins 2 & 3 of the relay to run & start in the compressor, but the compressor start winding burnt. I have another compressor the test, but no more...
Any help would be appreciatted.
Thanks in advance! Eduardo
