Item Code is critical. My older inverter (without a model #) required wire connector modifications.
I highly recommend confirming compatibility with OEM Mania before purchasing (they respond quickly). Send them every label number including the bottom left signal number.My lessons learned may save you grief and money. While I’m not a repair technician, I did diagnose and fix my refrigerator using basic multimeter and wiring skills. Here’s my repair story:My inverter did not have a model number so I matched "VCC3 1156 09" without realizing the signal code (label bottom left) must match for the inverter to operate. The 2006 Embraco signal code “519303023” was replaced with “519306306”, but the following wire connector modifications were needed for this W10449006 (signal code 519306306) inverter to work in my Kitchenaid/Whirlpool fridge.The 120v wires needed new female spade connectors to fit the narrower inverter male blades (with white/neutral on the blade closest to the ground connector). I flipped the signal wire harness because the original control board harness connector fits the new inverter. Then the other connector (the original inverter end) was removed to wire nut the inverter signal wires to the control board signal wires (red-white connects to inverter black).Additional info: I first confirmed the control board was sending voltage to the inverter (mine was 14.9v). Then the compressor health was checked by verifying the OHM resistance between the three compressor pins were roughly equivalent with no shorts to ground (no pin-to-ground continuity). Mine were 8.5 to 8.6.Important: Variable-speed 3-phase compressors can only be powered by an inverter which convert residential one phase to three phase. Direct connect will fry it.Good luck!

Missed connector wires
I received that part without connector wires. I tried old inverter's wire, but that's connector was different.
