Abstract
A domestic refrigeration appliance has a heat-insulated housing with a coolable inner container delimiting a coolable interior for storing foods. The interior is cooled with a coolant circuit that includes a compressor with a three-phase motor operated by an actuator via electrically powered motor windings. The actuator is actuated at least indirectly to operate the compressor in a switched-on state with a rotational speed of the three-phase motor at least approximately equal to a predetermined rotational speed. The actuator is caused to switch off the compressor such that the rotational speed of the three-phase motor decreases to a predetermined minimum rotational speed, and thereafter to switch off the three-phase motor for at least a predetermined period of time by de-energizing the motor windings. The period of time is selected long enough to reduce the speed of the motor, beginning from the minimum rotational speed, to reach standstill.
