7-3.Relay

Operating principle

Inspection method

The relay momentarily energizes  the start  winding to 
start the rotation of the compressor motor.
Most later  refrigerator models use  a solid state  type 
relay.
Unlike the mechanical type relay,  the solid state relay 
has no coil and no moving contacts.
This relay consists of a small solid state wafer that has 
a low resistance at room temperature.
The wafer is positioned  between  electrical  terminals 
that connect to the compressor terminals.

As voltage is initially applied to the compressor circuit, 
current flows through the run winding and,  in parallel, 
through  the  relay  and  start  winding .  Initially ,  the 
resistance of the relay is low enough to pass sufficient 
current  through  the  start  winding   and   permit   the 
compressor to start.
Then, instantaneously, the resistance of the relay goes
high-in effect, reducing  the  current  flow  through  the 
relay  to  a  trickle .  This  trickle  current  causes   the 
resistance of  the relay to remain high ,  thus  keeping 
the relay "open".
This type of relay is called a PTC(positive temperature 
coefficient) relay because the resistance goes high as
the temperature increases.

The  solid  state  relay  can  be  tested  for  continuity, 
using an ohmmeter. The measured resistance of the 
relay, at room temperature, should be within 10% of 
the value stated on the schematic wiring diagram for 
the particular model.
