You just helped me fix a super nice/free mini fridge! I saw it on the side of the road in a super nice neighborhood with a free sign and hoped that it would work, I was disappointed when I heard the click of the overload switch kick on. I tested for continuity and it was on all 3 poles and also no short to ground. Also tested amperage of the pull and it was well below short. Bypassed the relay like you showed and boom! Compressor rolling perfect and nice cold fridge. Thought it was shitty that the rich bastard put a broken fridge out and just put free without "need tlc" or "needs to be fixed". They knew it didn't work and could have taken it to be recycled, but I am glad they didn't ☺. Their loss is my gain. Replacement relay costs 7 bucks and will be here in 2 days!
Thank you so much for this video. I have an old Frigidaire freezer and the genuine controler relay is discontinued from Frigidaire but worst it is that absolutly unavailable in the aftermarket. So far with your video I was able to start the freezer and save the food inside. I leave it work until it stop then make the contact (as shown) to restart it. I have ordered online another relay (look alike) and according to your indications I should be able to plug it on the compressor and fix this problem. Thanks again.
@@kadiskartemotv Of course! Your video helped me rule out compressor failure, diagnose the problem as a failed Time Start Device, and implement a temporary workaround to avoid spoiled food pending replacement. I installed the new TSD today and the refrigerator now works perfectly. Thank you again!
This is good information to know if you are waiting on a new relay and got food in the fridge. I turned my freezer to max so it will stay colder longer between jump starting it. Also filled up some Tupperware containers with water so they turn into big blocks of ice. thanks for this info
Thanks a lot dude worked well.searched and lokked for lots of videos.but only this worked.i have a questoion.bcs if there is a power cut we must always connect and disconnect that wire what if i put a switch to it
After 20+ videos I found this one about my fridge compressor. I was minutes away from hotwiring it and then it kicked back on. Shot always happens the day after you buy 500$ worth of grocery’s.
Hi, thanks for the video. I have a question. In the uk you have live, neutral and ground which one of these wires do I connect to the common pin?. Thanks
Sir yung start at run. Nong denerecta ko sa line.nka fix yung spilceng.bigla nlng umosok sa loob ng compresor.ano dapt gawi sa susunod na conection ko Para dina magkamali.

Sa suction line po ang hinihigop. Intake sa suction at discharge naman sa discharge line. Continues flow/cycle . Salamat po sa panunuod. Wag kalimutang ilikenm ang video
Idol tanong ko lng po Kung paano madetermine Ang suction at discharge pipe Ng ref compressor..may kinalas po Kasi akong sirang ref nmin..gagamitin ko compressor as air compressor..tatlo Kasi linya Ng tubo eh..tsaka Kung isaksak ko compressor ung isang pipe nagbubuga Ng langis..ok p b compressor ko?..Ang reading Ng C-R= 10.1, C-S= 38.2 at S-R= 46.9..sana po masagot mga tanong ko idol..salamat po
Yes, simply unplug the fridge, make all three connections as described (COMMON, RUN, START), plug in the fridge, and remove the splice wire from the START pin as soon as the compressor starts. Just keep in mind that a) there is no external overload protection (as is typical with a Time Start Device / TSD) and b) when the thermostat sees a low enough temperature, it will cut power to the compressor (normal behavior), but when the temperature rises and it sends power to the compressor again, the RUN winding will be energized but the START winding won't (abnormal behavior), which could damage the compressor. So, when the fridge turns off the compressor, it's best to unplug the fridge, disconnect all wires from the compressor, plug in the fridge, and restart the compressor manually later when you hear the fridge start up the evaporator fan.
i tried this on a wine cooler thats not working and the compressor turned on after connecting hot wires to just the common (top prong) and Run (right prong). I did not have to to touch the Start. Does this mean the compressor is bad?
The hot wire goes to the middle COMMON pin, the neutral wire goes to the right RUN pin, and the wire spliced into that neutral wire goes temporarily to the left START pin.
Thanks you very much Sir! After a long time looking I finally came across a discarded fridge which I was able to salavge the compressor from, and thanks to your video I just tested it and it works perfectly. I'll sort it out with a momentary switch for a quick start and it will be ready to get into work helping me in the shop.
Mostly Start is always at left and Run is at right. Try also to check if there is a label at the triangular configuration, if none do the resistance checking
@@alieupaasewe5111 Use an ohm meter to measure resistance between the center COMMON pin and each of the other two pins and compare to the published specifications for your compressor. For example, according to Embraco's documentation for the EM3D60HLT compressor in my GE fridge, the Start Winding Resistance should be 5.66 Ω at 25°C and the Run Winding Resistance should be 4.42 Ω at 25°C.
The compressor in my GE fridge started without the capacitor, but if yours doesn't and needs the boost, then splice two wires and put the capacitor in parallel with the one that temporarily energizes the start winding.

No. PTC relay will automaticaly energize the compressor without our supervision, doing so will over heat the compressor, as common and run is only needed once once compressor reach atleast 1/4 of its speed,
Sir ask ko lng po, about sa thermostat po ng refrigerator, yung papalitan ko po yung thermostat ref WDF 2 7D-EX, anu po po ba pwd ipalit nito sir, kaht anu type lng po ba basta 3 pin po okay lng po ba yun. Salamat😊
Because it doesn’t have the relay😂😂 the compressor isn’t meant to be run continuously the relay is there to turn the compressor on and off periodically to prevent from overheating
@@kadiskartemotv how would we be able to use a relay to go in this circuit? You would be the coolest man on the planet if you were able to explain this to me! I’ll try to research too
Mine is a defy top frizzer i bought a new thermostart when i try to install it...it blew my overload protector nd i bought the new one also but stil blew it...i suspect the motor..because it wont start when am startin it without relay
Good evening sir, yung ref compressor na ginawa kong pang bomba ng gulong, after using continuously for 30 mins (tried to inflate inflatable pool) uminit yung motor at di na umandar. Puede ko kaya sir irekta na lang ito? Thank you very much!
Energizing both windings for more than a few seconds will overload the compressor. The START winding should be energized only long enough to get the compressor started so the RUN winding can keep it going alone.
Sir tanong ko lang ilang hp kaya gagamitin kong compressor ng ref para magamit pag pintura at magamit sa pneumatic tools 1hp lang kasi meron ako dito sobrang hina 🤣
Use an ohm meter to determine which pin corresponds to C, S, R. There should be no continuity between START and RUN, and the resistance between COMMON and START vs. COMMON and RUN should align with the specifications published for your compressor.
Can you explain this on a 12v DC compressor? I am trying to bypass the on/off switch on my 12v zerobreeze mach1 and I am connecting the controller directly to power and the compressor runs for a short moment then shuts off. Below is a link to what I am working on. ua-cam.com/video/jbEaA0Ib1Sg/v-deo.html
Always line 2 ung common master. same lang procedure nakatap 1 line sa run, tas 1-2 secs tanggal agad pag nag start na sa S. sundin mo lang ubg video master. Salamat sa panunuod
No you can't. On a 12v compressor the three connections are the three windings of a three phase motor. It will only run if you use a 12v 3 phase motor controller.

I already try this but the common terminal had become low in reading or low amp.from 56 become 30.
Is it neutral line that you connected to the run and start pins?
Yap,
does it automatically mean the run and start motor is opposite from the one you demonstrated?
There is marking of (C) Common (S) Start (R) Run in the compressor
By 'common' do you mean the hot ac line or the neutral ?
Either of the two, but its better to use the live ot hot wire
bro. thanks. so does this mean sira na ang start relay?
thanks zir but can do this jop wile compressor in frige
Yes, simply unplug the fridge, make all three connections as described (COMMON, RUN, START), plug in the fridge, and remove the splice wire from the START pin as soon as the compressor starts.

If the compressor produces pressure, then it merely managed to start without the second winding being energized.
hey were does the hot wire go and were exactly does the neutral wire goes just to be on the safe side thanks
Just follow the tutorial, live or hot wire is the same
The hot wire goes to the middle COMMON pin, the neutral wire goes to the right RUN pin, and the wire spliced into that neutral wire goes temporarily to the left START pin.
Thanks Bro.

So that means the Common is connected to the active and Run is connected to the Neutral with Start looping in it

Thank you Sir.This is my question to you Sir,do the run and start change position?Or the start always on the left and the run always on right?

My firdge have a capacitor near the compressor. Would this work without the capacitor connected in some way ?
It will not, starting capacitor is important for the optimal performance of compressor, capacitor is very cheap to buy
The compressor in my GE fridge started without the capacitor, but if yours doesn't and needs the boost, then splice two wires and put the capacitor in parallel with the one that temporarily energizes the start winding.
Does this work on the newer type inverter compressor?
No this will not work.n

Sir how about a compressor with potential type relay and run/start capacitor . . Do the procedure is still the same .. tnxs
My compressor started without the capacitor, but if yours doesn't and needs the boost, then splice two wires and put the capacitor in parallel with the one that temporarily energizes the start winding.
can i use only capacitor, no need ptc , i try turn on compresor use capacitor , result is working properly , this way can damage compresor?
No. PTC relay will automaticaly energize the compressor without our supervision, doing so will over heat the compressor, as common and run is only needed once once compressor reach atleast 1/4 of its speed,
use the method shown on the video,just for testing, not recommend for prolong use as the compressor turns off and on when the thermostat gives signal
