5-3. Over Load Protector (OLP)
1. Define
(1) The 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.
2. Role
(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 adjustment screw of the OLP in any way.
5-4. Remove the cover Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC)
(1) Remove the cover of the mechanical area.
(2) Disconnect the two clamps holding
the compressor in place.
(3) Loosen two screws on compressor base.
(4) Use a screwdriver to pry off the cover.
(5) Assembly is the reverse order of disassembly.
