3. Compressor Protector
• If a combined temperature/amperage value is above the limit specified by the
compressor manufacturer, a protector operates independently to turn off the
compressor. The compressor restarts when this protector has reset.
• The compressor protector resets automatically.
• If the condenser fan is operating and the compressor is off, it is likely that the protector
has operated.
4. Defrost Protection
For freezers, primary defrost termination is controlled by the defrost thermistor. However,
two additional safeties are also present:
• Defrost Time Termination - 1 hour maximum
• Defrost Backup Temperature Termination - Measured by a separate device that is
in-line with the heater(s) and independent of the control board.
