Repair & Advice
The original part no longer available was one piece smaller square. This is 2 pc with a larger oblong cover and not much room between compressor and frig side & bundle of wires. A little difficult getting peg connectors on the compressor to line up to press on parts. With the larger cover, the capacitor white wire didn't reach, had to remove wire tape to add length. Just reached. The cover was a bear to get aligned and put on properly. Just not enough room for hands and fighting other wires & drip pan that were in the way. The original wire holder was not needed to hold the cover on mine. Maytag Refrigerator MSD2454GRW I should mention, I put the wires on new parts before pressing onto the compressor and used old part to compare the orientation of parts as there are no instructions included. I marked the old part with what color wire went where. Was very handy getting it right.
