Abstract
A method for operating a linear compressor of an appliance, such as a refrigerator appliance, is provided. In one example implementation, the method can include operating a motor of the linear compressor in order to drive a rotor of the motor. The method can further include obtaining, via a controller of the linear compressor, one or more feedback measurements of one or more electrical characteristics of the motor. The method can further include controlling, based at least in part on the one or more feedback measurements, the motor of the linear compressor using a single-phase vector-like control scheme.
