Hello- Thanks for any help you can give. Maytag model MSD2655HES. Fan runs but compressor not working. Before I conclude that is bad and must be replaced. I need to remove the relay from it and connect the three wires from my power cord to the compressor’s three terminals and turn it on. I have a feeling I have a bad relay. But I do not know where each wire should go- on what terminal. Please help. And if you can offer more tips on how to determine if I have a bad compressor would be awesome ! Many thanks.

Bill, the only way to test is by wiring in a relay hard start kit . This is what we use to test compressors. Click on link below in red. It is under $20.00 and you can leave it on as a permanent replacement. It can be installed in minutes and comes with detailed easy instructions. So if you want to test your compressor I suggest you try this. If your compressor is locked up you have spent $20.00. If it works you have saved yourself allot of money. In my experience I find 70% relay overload bad and 30% bad compressor. So your choice good luck on what ever you decide to do. Matt Ace Technician
