Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

MOTORIZED AIR DOOR

DEFROST HEATER & BIMETAL

Refer to page 4-2 for the procedure for servic- ing the motorized air door.

1.Run the diagnostics tests (see page 6-1) and check for the proper operation of the air door in step 06.

NOTE: A 12 volts DC square wave is supplied to the air door in a series of short pulses. It is not possible to obtain a reliable voltage reading with a VOM. The remaining steps will allow you to check the resistance of the air door motor.

2.Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.

3.Disconnect the motorized air door wire connector from the main harness.

4.Set the ohmmeter to the R x 10 scale.

5.Touch one of the test probes to the motor- ized air door connector with the yellow wire and the other test probe to the white

wire. The meter should indicate approxi- mately 400 to 450 Ω.

6.Touch one of the test probes to the motor- ized air door connector with the red wire and the other test probe to the blue wire.

The meter should indicate approximately 400 to 450 Ω.

Refer to page 4-11 for the procedure for servic- ing the defrost heater and bimetal.

1.Run the diagnostics tests (see page 6-1) and check for the proper operation of the defrost heater and bimetal in step 07.

NOTE: If the bimetal is closed, the voltage at the defrost heater terminals will be 120 volts AC. The remaining steps will allow you to check the resistance of the defrost heater and bimetal.

2.Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.

3.Disconnect one of the wires going to the defrost heater.

4.Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.

5.Touch the ohmmeter test probes to the defrost heater terminals.

6.The meter should indicate approximately 19 to 27 Ω.

7.Touch the ohmmeter test probes to the defrost bimetal wire connectors. The meter should indicate as follows:

•With the bimetal below 20° F, the meter should indicate continuity (0 Ω).

•With the bimetal above 50° F, the meter should indicate an open circuit (infinite).
