Ice cream maker -

[rtmark]

I am having problems with my ice cream maker which automatically shuts off after it had been turned on for 10-15 minutes. I had to press the reset button of the circuit breaker to make whole machine run again. The same thing happens after 15 minutes....I have checked for short circuits but I can not find one. It has 3 replaceable capacitors....do you thinks it has something to do with this.....or does it have something to do with the thermostat? I have been looking for expert repairmen specializing in ice cream makers but i can not find one......Any suggestions....Thanks

there's an overload-relay protector attached at the terminals of the motor compressor, try replacing them

In my experience, the thermal switch or overload relay protector on the compressor activates because there is already a fault in the compressor. A single shorted winding in the compressor makes it overheat, tripping the thermal switch, although the compressor will run a few minutes. The aircon repairman will test the compressor using a clamp meter and a higher than normal ampere draw indicates a shorted winding. Repair is a compressor rewind or replacement.
