The ice ball problem is being caused by very low temperatures in the lower left part of the fresh food compartment. The low temperatures are being driven by two gaps that need to be sealed. One around the beverage center duct and one along the left side curved geometry of the Quick Chill air handler cover.
These two locations need to be sealed with RTV.
REMOVE POWER TO THE UNIT BEFORE PERFORMING KIT INSTALL.
REMOVE ALL ICE AND MOISTURE FROM ALL REPAIR AREAS.
SOME 25 CU. FT. BIS MODELS DO NOT HAVE BEVERAGE CENTERS.
CHECK FOR WIRES ALREADY ROUTED WITH DC (RIGHT FRONT) HARNESS IN FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENT. IF THERE ARE WIRES THERE, A DC KIT HAS BEEN INSTALLED. IF DC KIT WAS INSTALLED ALREADY, CONNECTION TO MAIN BOARD MUST BE REMOVED AND HARNESS CUT SHORT.
