winding. When current flows through the coil, a magnetic force is produced,
pulling the relay plunger up. With the relay plunger up, it connect the start
winding and the run winding at the same time and the compressor starts. As the
compressor reaches its running speed, there is not enough current flowing
through the relay coil to keep the plunger up (because of gravity), the start
winding is disconnected.

1. Unplug the WINEMATE cooling unit or disconnect power.
2. Remove the terminal cover from the compressor.
3. Disconnect and remove the relay.
4. Set the ohmmeter scale to the lowest setting.
5. Make sure the relay with the letters “TOP” facing up.
6. Place and hold one ohmmeter probe in one terminal, then place the other

9. If the start relay is good, reinstall and reconnect the relay with the letters
“TOP” facing up.
3) Overload Protector
The overload protector is a bi-metal that protects the compressor. If the
compressor gets too hot the overload protector opens and stops the compressor.
Once it has cooled the overload protector contacts close.
1. Unplug WINEMATE cooling unit or disconnect power.
2. Remove the terminal cover from the compressor.
3. Disconnect and remove the overload protector
4. Set the ohmmeter scale to the lowest setting.
5. Touch and hold one ohmmeter probe to one terminal on the overload
2. Remove the terminal cover from the compressor.
3. Disconnect and remove the overload protector
4. Set the ohmmeter scale to the lowest setting.
5. Touch and hold one ohmmeter probe to one terminal on the overload
protector, then touch and hold the other probe to the other terminal.
6. The ohmmeter should show a reading of zero resistance. If not, the
overload protector needs replacing.
7. Reinstall and reconnect the overload protector.
4) Electronic Controller
The electronic controller allows the customer to select a temperature form 45
°F
to 75
°F. When the thermistor senses a temperature above the setting value, the
