Electronic Surge Protector for Refrigerators up to 27 Cuft and Freezers

Excelent ítem. Totally recommended!!!

This little device is a must for anything that has a compressor in it such as a refrigerator or freezer. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for an air conditioner due to their higher current rating. The reason for this is your utility power can and does, at times to either a "brown out" which means the voltage drops below the normal 120 VAC, or will do a quick "drop out" which is like a blink. Either oh these conditions is rather bad for a compressor if it happens to be running at that time. When the power restores to normal, the compressor will try to start but it can't because there is a huge amount of back pressure in the line. During normal cycling, it comes on, runs until the temperature is correct then shuts off. It stays off for usually many minutes. This allows the Freon in the coils to equalize. This device, for a small amount of money, will not allow the power to come back on to your refrigerator or freezer, for about 3 minutes if even the briefest drop in voltage occurs. This not only protects the compressor, but can also protect the digital circuit and driver that controls the compressor. We had a series of blinks that took out a control board in our freezer last Jan. I had put one of these on the new refrigerator but forgot about the older freezer. Luckily, it didn't take out its compressor that time. It has this device on it now! It took $400 to jog my memory... Don't let it happen to you! Get one for each refrigerator and freezer you have!

I just purchased a new fridge and living in a part of the country that sees a lot of power surges and electrical fluctuations. I wasn't going to take a chance with frying the electronics in the fridge (which happened a while back and we lost the fridge, the freezer, the whole house fan, the water softener, the garage door opener, and two TVs). I have since added individual surge protectors to all our appliances (washer and dryer too....) in addition to having an electrician add a house surge protector to the circuit breaker. After living without a fridge for 5 weeks, I wasn't going to repeat the experience. This particular surge protector appears to have a buffer for electrical surges and fluctuations. It cost more than I have spent for surge protectors in the past, but losing an appliance is so much more inconvenient from both a time and money perspective. I'm not sure how to gauge whether it is working or not. Time will tell as I just plugged it in a couple of days ago....12/20/15 UPDATE: I've had the surge protector on the fridge and it has been working fine. Today I wanted to test my new generator to understand what power we can count on in a power outage. The startup of the generator blew out the surge protector for the fridge. The surge protector turned yellow, which is the 3 minute spike suppressor. Since I didn't keep the packaging WITH the device, I didn't remember what the yellow light was for and thought the surge protector failed. The good news is that it did what it was supposed to do and recycled back to green. I am now adding labels over the spanish words with english so everyone can tell the status of the protector. Great product except it should have had BOTH English and spanish. Am buying another for my garage freezer !.

This is a great device for protecting modern freezers and refrigerators from power surges and blips. Ordered because our freezer went into error mode and shutdown after a power dip the other day. This device will keep the unit off for 3 minutes after the power stabilizes. The only problem I had with it is that the packaging is in English, but the label on the device (including the part that tells you what the LEDs mean is in a FOREIGN LANGUAGE. Fortunately there is a box on the package that shows what the LEDs mean which I was able to tape to the device. Would give 5 stars if not for this issue.

Este dispositivo ha sido una gran inversión para proteger mi refrigerador. Se nota la calidad desde el primer momento: es fácil de instalar, compacto y con indicadores claros que muestran cuándo está funcionando correctamente. Me da mucha tranquilidad saber que está protegiendo contra variaciones de voltaje y apagones inesperados. Desde que lo uso, no he tenido ningún problema eléctrico con el refrigerador. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente para cuidar tus electrodomésticos!

I was searching for a sturdy but small, against the wall surge protector for my 10 cu ft refrigerator/freezer and this product fit the bill. It is compact in size, occupying only half of the wall outlet. It protects against low and high power fluctuations, both of which can impact a refrigerator. Clearly, I have just started to use this product and it has not yet been tested during a storm or blackout, but so far so good. I can give an update if this happens.In addition, the seller, Kasman Trading, was very responsive and knowledgeable when I had questions about the product. I had overlooked the built-in time delay and thought the item was not operational. Kasman Trading did not hesitate to offer me a refund as well as offer to inform the manufacturer. According to Kasman, they receive very few claims (less than 1%) on the volume that they sell from this particular manufacturer. I would definitely make a purchase from Kasman Trading again.Here are additional details about the Exceline Electronic Surge Protector: Made for domestic refrigerators up to 27 cu ft, freezers, water coolers and air conditioners up to 5000 BTU.
