OVERLOAD

For service buyers searching by part number, 18-5700-50 corresponds to the overload. It is commonly ordered when a machine still has power available but a specific circuit, movement, or cooling function is no longer working correctly. Before purchase, compare the machine brand and the removed part markings to avoid ordering a visually similar but incorrect item. Model verification is important because close machine variants may use different revisions of the same component category. Protects and resets the compressor circuit when overheating or overload conditions cause shutdown and restart problems. Depending on the machine setup, failures in this part category can show up as not cooling consistently, restarts after cooling, and hot shutdowns. An overload protector issue may appear as shutdown after heating and restart only after the system cools down. For this overload protector category, the typical repair goal is to restore the function that the failed component was affecting. A good service approach is to verify the exact part number and inspect the surrounding assembly before replacing the component. Overload diagnosis often includes checking compressor amperage, terminal condition, and ventilation issues that may trigger thermal trips. Verifying the complaint under operating conditions before and after replacement is a practical way to confirm the issue is resolved. Installing the correct replacement part can resolve the targeted fault path and helps bring the machine back to stable operation when the diagnosis is accurate. To avoid ordering delays, confirm the exact part number and compare mounting style, connector style, and application details before installation. Complaints such as not turning on, no power, not cooling, not starting, intermittent operation, error code messages, or ice not dropping can overlap across several parts, so a confirmed diagnosis will help this replacement solve the actual problem faster.
