A synchronous-motor controller including an inverter for converting direct current to alternating current in order to supply a synchronous motor with a current responsive to a torque instruction value, a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the inverter and a control unit. The control unit detects a locking of the synchronous motor although current is supplied to the synchronous motor and calculates, based on the torque instruction value, a heating value of a switching element of the inverter at the time when the switching element is supplied with the current after the synchronous motor is in a locked condition, wherein a temperature of the switching element is estimated by adding the calculated heating value to an initial value of the temperature of the inverter measured by the temperature sensor when the locking of the synchronous motor is detected.
