Product Description

The Magic Chef BT78-120 Refrigerator Overload Protector is a secure element that can assist in protecting the compressor against overheating and electrical overload. It works mainly by cutting off power to the compressor in cases when current levels increase past secure levels, and it avoids damage and unnecessary costs. The mechanism operates by a temperature-sensitive and a current-sensitive switch that operates when there is an abnormal condition and when the conditions are normal again. It is fixed on the compressor compartment, and it interconnects the compressor terminals with the power supply.
