How To Test the Overload Protector

Continued from page 1

The overload protector (labeled "B" below) is connected by two wires. One wire connects to the compressor relay (labeled "A") with a slip-on connector. Pull the connector firmly off of the relay terminal (do not pull on the wire). You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connector. Inspect the connector for corrosion. If the connector is corroded it should be replaced.

The overload protector sits beneath the relay

The overload protector is held in place with a round spring clip. Using a screwdriver, pry open the spring clip and remove the overload protector.
