How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator.

必要な工具と部品

  1. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Unplug your refrigerator: 手順 1、 1の画像 1
    • Unplug your refrigerator before you begin your repair.

    • If you are testing or repairing the following items, you may also need to shut off and disconnect the water supply:

    • Condenser fan motor

    • Compressor motor and thermal overload device

    • Water supply valve assembly

  2. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Unfasten the condenser cover: 手順 2、 1の画像 1
    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws securing the condenser cover to the rear of the refrigerator.

  3. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Remove the condenser cover: 手順 3、 3の画像 1 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Remove the condenser cover: 手順 3、 3の画像 2 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Remove the condenser cover: 手順 3、 3の画像 3
    • Tilt the top edge of the condenser cover toward you.

    • Lift and remove the condenser cover.

  4. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Disconnect the compressor: 手順 4、 3の画像 1 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Disconnect the compressor: 手順 4、 3の画像 2 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Disconnect the compressor: 手順 4、 3の画像 3
    • Squeeze and pull down the compressor connector to disconnect it.

  5. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Test the overload and compressor winding: 手順 5、 1の画像 1
    • You should wear gloves to protect your hands from the sharp edges in this area

    • Use your multimeter to measure the resistance between the two pins on the connector.

    • Acceptable values are between 7 and 14 ohms

    • This test checks both the compressor winding and thermal overload device.

    • If you get an open reading, it could be either the motor or the thermal overload device. Follow the next steps to continue diagnosing.

  6. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Reposition the connector cover: 手順 6、 3の画像 1 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Reposition the connector cover: 手順 6、 3の画像 2 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Reposition the connector cover: 手順 6、 3の画像 3
    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw(s) securing the connector cover to the compressor.

    • Slide the connector cover off of the compressor.

    • Don't try to fully remove the connector cover as it is still connected to the compressor.

    • The thermal overload device is located in the cover and is wired in series with the compressor.

  7. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Disconnect the power connector from the compressor: 手順 7、 2の画像 1 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Disconnect the power connector from the compressor: 手順 7、 2の画像 2
    • Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the power connector off of the compressor.

  8. How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Test the compressor winding resistance: 手順 8、 2の画像 1 How to Test Your Compressor Motor and Its Overload Device on an LG refrigerator., Test the compressor winding resistance: 手順 8、 2の画像 2
    • Use your multimeter to check the resistance between the bottom and top left pins.

    • The correct resistance value is 7.2-9.2Ω for a FLA075LANA or FLB075LANA compressor; other models show 6-8Ω.

    • If you were reading an open circuit in the first test, and now you get good resistance readings for the compressor, your overload device is faulty; replace it.

終わりに

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

If the overload and the compressor tests are good. What next?

It depends on what you have already done. Did you test the compressor because it was refusing to run? Have you also checked the run capacitor? It is located near the control board. If it fails, the compressor will not run. To try to help more, I'd need to know more of what the problem is.
