Electrical connections from motor to control panel for Kenmore washer?

I just replaced a coupler on a Kenmore 110, 23892, 92389200 washing machine. I had to unplug the motor wires so I could put on the coupler and forgot to clearly mark them.

I have two wires I don't know which way to plug back in and am concerned if I plug them in the wrong way, I will destroy the motor or control panel.

One wire runs from control panel, the other wire runs from front of motor; they connect to a small electrical part; which from the parts diagram is a motor start capacitor.

Both connectors looks the same, both wires look the same and both plug easily in.

Which way to plug in wires?

Thanks!

Just plug them on to the two terminals on the start capacitor. Either way around it won't matter. It will still work ok.
