Grounding Information

Standard color for ground wires is green or green with yellow striping. Ground wires are not to be used as conductors carrying current. Compressor, condenser fan motor, evaporator fan motor, defrost timer, temperature control, and ice maker are grounded through an individual wire attached to electrical component and another part of refrigerator. Ground wires should not be removed from individual components while servicing unless component is removed and replaced. It is extremely important to replace all grounds prior to completing service. When nib-headed screw is used to complete grounding circuit, replace screw with a like screw.
