FUSE–M.  
Defrost sensor functions to defrost automatically. It is  
attached to metal side of the Evaporator and senses  
Temperature. At the temperature of 162°F(72°C), it stops  
the emission of heat from the Heater.

Starting Method for the Motor  
4-1 COMPRESSOR  
4-1-1 Role  
The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure  
gas from the evaporator of the refrigerator and compresses  
this gas to high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It then  
delivers the gas to the condenser.  
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

4-1-2 Composition  
PTC  
COMPRESSOR  
MOTOR  
M
The compressor includes overload protection. The PTC  
starter and OLP (overload protector) are attached to the  
outside of the compressor. Since the compressor is  
manufactured to tolerances of 1 micron and is hermetically  
sealed in a dust and moisture-free environment, use  
extreme caution when repairing it.

4-1-3 Note for Usage  
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current.  
Figure 10  
(2) If compressor is dropped or handled carelessly, poor  
operation and noise may result.  
(3) Use proper electric components appropriate to the  
Particular Compressor in your product.  
4-2-4 Motor Restarting and PTC Cooling  
(1) It requires approximately 5 minutes for the pressure to  
equalize before the compressor can start.  
(2) The PTC device generates heat during operation.  
Therefore, it must be allowed to cool before the  
compressor can restart.  
(4) Keep Compressor dry.  
If Compressor gets wet (in the rain or a damp  
environment) and rust forms in the pin of the Hermetic  
Terminal, poor operation and contact may result.  
4-2-5 Relation of PTC-Starter and OLP  
(5) When replacing the Compressor, be careful that dust,  
humidity, and soldering flux dont contaminate the inside  
of the compressor. Dust, humidity, and solder flux  
contaminate the cylinder and may cause noise or  
improper operation even cause it to lock up.  
(1) If the compressor attempts to restart before the PTC  
device is cooled, the PTC device will allow current to  
flow only to the main winding.  
(2) The OLP will open because of the over current  
condition. This same process will continue (3 to 5  
times) when the compressor attempts to restart until  
the PTC device has cooled. The correct OLP must be  
properly attached to prevent damage to the  
compressor.  
4-2 PTC-STARTER  
4-2-1 Composition of PTC-Starter  
(1) PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) is a no-contact  
semiconductor starting device which uses ceramic  
material consisting of BaTiO3.  
(2) The higher the temperature is, the higher the resistance  
value. These features are used as a starting device for  
the Motor.  
4-2-6 Note for Using the PTC-Starter  
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current.  
(2) Do not drop or handle carelessly.  
(3) Keep away from any liquid.  
If liquid such as oil or water enters the PTC,  
PTC materials may fail due to breakdown of their  
insulating capabilities.  
4-2-2 Role of PTC-Starter  
(1) The PTC is attached to the Sealed Compressor and is  
used for starting the Motor.  
(2) The compressor is a single-phase induction motor.  
Durign the starting operation, the PTC allows current  
flow to both the start winding and main winding.  
(4) If the exterior of the PTC is damaged, the resistance  
value may be altered. This can cause damage to the  
compressor and result in a no-start or hard-to-start  
condition.  
(5) Always use the PTC designed for the compressor and  
make sure it is properly attached to the compressor.

4-3 OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR)  
4-3-1 Definition of OLP  
4-4 TO REMOVE THE COVER PTC  
(1) OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the  
Compressor and protects the Motor by opening the  
circuit to the Motor if the temperature rises and  
activating the bimetal spring in the OLP.  
(2) When high current flows to the Compressor motor, the  
Bimetal works by heating the heater inside the OLP,  
and the OLP protects the Motor by cutting off the  
current flowing to the Compressor Motor.  
4-3-2 Role of the OLP  
(1) The OLP is attached to the Sealed Compressor used  
for the Refrigerator. It prevents the Motor Coil from  
being started in the Compressor.  
(2) For normal operation of the OLP, do not turn the Adjust  
Screw of the OLP in any way.  
1) Remove the Cover Back M/C.  
(2) Remove the screw on Cover PTC.

7-2-3 Temperature Sensor Circuit  
Voltage supplied to each sensor wil range between 0.5 volts -22°F(-30°C) and 4.5 volts 122°F(50°C) depending upon the  
temperature in the compartments. A measurement of 0 volts indicates a short in the sensor circuit. A measurement of 5  
volts indicates an open in the sensor circuit.

The resistance of the SENSOR has a 5% common difference.  
Measure the resistance of the SENSOR after leaving it for over 3 minutes in the measuring temperature.  
This delay is necessary due to sensor response speed.  
Measure the F-SENSOR, SUPER FROST SENSOR, R1, R2-SENSOR after disconnect CON5 of PWB ASSY, MAIN.
