Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Agitator?
A device that is used to stir or shake up a mixture. Typically used to move clothing through water containing detergent. Sometimes call a GYRATOR.
What is the Bake or Broil Valve?
An electrically operated valve, that open and closes by means of a bimetal, to control the flow of gas to a gas oven burner. Sometimes referred to as a oven safety valve.
What is the Chill Plate?
An evaporator that is in the refrigerator compartment which defrosts each time the thermostat cycles off.
What is the Cold Control?
A switch that controls an electric current in response to changing temperature. More properly called a THERMOSTAT.
What is a Compressor?
An electro- mechanical device used to circulate refrigerant through a refrigeration system to transfer heat.
Cycle / Defrost Refrigerator?
A style of refrigeration appliance where a portion of the evaporator, usually the chill-plate, defrosts whenever the thermostat switches off.
Defrost Timer?
An electro-mechanical clock device that periodically switches from cooling to defrost to remove the buildup of frost from the evaporator. A possible compressor run time of 6 - 12 hrs. with defrost duration time of 20 - 30 minutes is common.
What is a Dehumidifier?
An appliance designed to extract moisture from the ambient air by means of a refrigeration system. Warm moist air is drawn by a fan across the cold evaporator which causes the water vapor to condense onto the coil and drop into a container. The cooled air is then passed over the condenser where it is warmed before being passed back into the surrounding area.
What is the Drain Pan?
A pan-shaped panel used to collect condensate from the evaporator during a defrost cycle. It is usually located above a condenser coil or atop the compressor. May also be called CONDENSATE PAN.
The "Energy Saver Switch"?
REFRIGERATOR-A switch that when activated opens a circuit to an electric cabinet perimeter heater, to turn it off, to save electricity.
AIR CONDITIONER-A switch that when activated allows the thermostat to cycle the fan motor on and off at the same time as it cycles the compressor.
IGNITER - A solid state semiconductor, usually made of Carborundum, that produces heat when a current is applied. Typically used to ignite natural gas or propane in heating appliances such as ranges, dryers and water heaters.
INFINITE HEAT SWITCH - A switch that controls the amount of heat generated by an electric range surface burner. It accomplishes this by quickly cycling the voltage on and off to achieve an intermediate range. Eg. At medium it may supply 100% voltage for only 50% of the time it is switched on. It does not act like a rheostat and reduce the voltage, to lessen the heat generated, as sometime mistakenly thought.
REFRIGERANT
A substance used in a refrigeration system to absorb heat in the evaporator coil, by means of a change of state from liquid to a gas, and to release its heat in the condenser as the substance returns from the gaseous state back into a liquid.
REFRIGERANT TYPES
R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) is typically used in household refrigerators, freezers and older car air conditioners.
R22 (monochlorodifluoromethane) is used in window air conditioners.
R134a (tetrafluoroethane) is now used in many domestic refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and car air conditioners.
SOLENOID - An electro-mechanical device that produces a magnetic field, to move an internal metallic plunger, when power is supplied. When power to the electromagnet is discontinued, the plunger is free again to move by other forces. This plunger can be attached to other devices (levers, seals, etc.) to do mechanical work. This arrangement is commonly used in water fill valves, dishwasher drain valves, range door lock mechanisms and dryer gas valves.
WATER LEVEL CONTROL
An electric switch activated by air pressure. This device detects air pressure exerted on it through a flexible tube connecting it to part of a water tub. When activated, this switch then opens an electrical circuit stopping further filling of the machine. May also be called a PRESSURE SWITCH.
