Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0250909A2] A control apparatus for a refrigerating appliance comprises a commutator controlled by a timer for cyclically commutating from a first position, in which electric power is supplied to a compressor motor, to a second position in which power is supplied to an evaporator defrosting resistance heater via a thermostat commutator when the latter is in a position corresponding to a low temperature of the evaporator. The thermostatic commutator switches to a second position in response to sensing a higher temperature of the evaporator. The timer is supplied with electric power via the controlled commutator when the latter is in its first position, and via the series-connection of the two commutators when in their second positions. The automatic defrosting operation is thus carried out in accordance with the actual condition of the evaporator.
