My CDA FWC303 wine fridge is knackered. The compressor doesn’t start and I’ve traced it to the PTC which I plan to replace and have identified the required spare part.
However, the thermal overload protector has a continuity reading of 3.2 ohms between terminals which although still pretty low isn’t below 1 ohm as expected, so I thought I’d replace this at the same time as it’s a nightmare to get to and I only want to do it once. Problem is I can’t find the correct replacement part (CDA don’t offer them as a spare it seems), and I’m unsure of the correct rating.
The compressor is a Jiaxipera MM1060Y, but I can’t find the hp rating. The old overload protector itself isn’t any use either, it has some numbers on it but Google is drawing a blank. Can anyone advise the correct hp rating thermal overload protector I need for this compressor?
Please help, my beer is getting warm (yes I use my wine fridge to store beer).
Thanks,
Gaz
You won’t get the info on it. Most Chinese producers, it’s a complete compressor with electrics or nothing, they don’t do parts.
But, in that kinda unit you’d expect a ¼hp compressor at most, overkill IMO, for a reasonable sized under counter unit and, if it’s too large (within reason) you’d normally be okay. Too small is more of an issue. But, I’d expect a small rating on those as they aren’t exactly taxed given they’re not doing a huge amount of work for the most part nso it’s more likely a ⅙ or ⅕ at best. Bear in mind some of these might be bespoke for the application and built to a price.
In short it’s liable to be a very low rated one as it’s not expected to do a lot so, doesn’t need to be expecially strong.
