I took apart a PTC relay and capacitor from my fridge freezer, I took some photos to help me rewire the new set.

However, the photos are unfortunately not very clear. I have been able to wire the relay to the fridge but I can't figure out how to wire the capacitor.

Can someone help please?

Parallel question: what is surprising is that the fridge works without the capacitor, how is the compressor able to start without the capacitor? Do I need to wire the capacitor? what happens if I am not able to figure out how to wire the capacitor? Does it shorten the lifespan of the compressor or the relay?
