ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a refrigeration assembly and particularly to defrosting apparatus therefor. The assembly includes a bellows operated thermostatic motor switch responsive to evaporator temperatures for operating the compressor motor. After a predetermined number of operating cycles of the compressor the defrost apparatus is actuated. There is a linkage between the bellows and the motor switch with a main spring acting thereon to oppose the bellows and a differential spring acting thereon to assist the bellows. The differential spring is made inoperative by the defrosting unit during the defrost setting. The main spring and the differential spring are calibrated so that when both springs are effective the motor switch is actuated at a predetermined evaporator temperature. When only the main spring is effective during the defrost setting the motor switch is actuatable at an evaporator temperature higher than the above referred to temperature.
