Description
This overload is a compressor protector that helps prevent motor damage by interrupting power if the compressor draws excessive current or overheats. It's a small, snap-on device that keeps the refrigeration system from running under harmful conditions. What it does:
- Senses excessive current/temperature at the compressor and opens the circuit to stop the compressor
- Helps prevent compressor burnout and extended system damage
- Common symptom fixes: refrigerator not cooling, compressor runs but system won't start, humming or clicking from the compressor area
- Works with the compressor starter system to allow safe restart after a fault clears
What's included: One overload protector (single unit) Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the overload
- Typically mounts on or near the compressor terminals; may require gently pulling compressor boot or terminal cover
- Handle carefully to avoid bending terminals; ensure secure terminal connections on installation
