Default Refrigerator relay kit changed causing burning smell

I have a Kitchenaid 25cf model about 5 years old.
I just changed the relay on the compressor. I ran it for about 30
minutes and I smelled burning so I shut it off. The fan was running and
the compressor got really hot. But there was no cooling in the fridge.
The relay kit I used was from Maytag instead of whirlpool. Would that
cause the problem? The parts store said it is the same thing.

Thanks.
