Before testing the compressor motor, unplug
the freezer to avoid an electrical shock hazard. Also, if the
compressor uses a capacitor, it may contain a lethal electrical
charge. Do not touch the terminals until you have discharged
the capacitor.
The overload protector is designed to protect
the compressor motor from damage. The location of the overload
protector is with the start relay on or near the compressor. The
compressor is found at the lower rear of the freezer, with the
exception of the high-end, built in style refrigerator-freezers
on which the compressor is usually on top.
The overload protector is accessed from the lower
rear of the freezer. The compressor is labeled "A",
the overload protector is located in the terminal box which is
located at the position labeled "B".
