The Over heat thermistor circuit detects the temperature at the surface of the compressor head, the Defrost.
thermistor circuit detects the defrosting operation temperature.
A thermistor is a negative
negativ negativ resistor element which has the characteristics that the higher (lower) the temperature,
the lower (higher) the resistance.
When the compressor is heated, the resistance of the Over heat thermistor becomes low and voltage to a

microcomputer judges that the compressor is overheated and stops operation.
When frost forms on the outdoor heat exchanger, the temperature at the exchanger drops abruptly.

However, an error is detected only when the OH thermistor is shorted; in such a case, the blinking mode
is entered 12 minutes after the compressor starts operation.
