Motor
The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the
overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor
must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The
compressor will automatically restart after the motor
cools.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequent-
ly, check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage
can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights
dim and remain dim when motor is started and is
running.
