OK all I really could use an expert eye. The attached photo shows the wiring from inside my side by side kegerator/fermenting chamber. I tried to label what I know about it already and I was hoping one of you could assist me in figuring out the rest. And yes... I leaped before I looked
As you can see I have labeled the hot, ground and what I presume is neutral (white). Of course the neutral is an assumption based off of what most appliances use. The brown wire coming from the large clip along with the pink wire coming from the timer meet at another clip that was taped off. I am not sure what that means but I am assuming that they are not needed for this project. I have also labeled some more obvious things like the timer, light switch and the 5 hot leads I spliced off of the black wire (to power 2x STC-1000's).
Any how, can some one please help me figure out the wires that turn on the compressor? And/or help me confirm which is the neutral? The fridge is a whirlpool model # ED25DQXDW05. I checked online and could not find any wiring schematics, nor could I find a schematic anywhere on the fridge.
Please note that the orange and red wires coming from the timer used to go to the old thermostat, which I have removed for space concerns and the fact that I won't need it again. Because the thermostat tells the motor to kick on is it safe to assume that one of those wires is the hot for the compressor/fan? should it be the red wire going to the main clip? It seems to share a port on the clip connecting it to the timer.
Again I am trying to think this through but I just don't have enough experience to feel confident in my logic. Any and all help is welcome!
