DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

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

Diagnostics on this product are different than on other Whirlpool SxS refrigerators. Several error codes are available, however there is no “diagnostic mode” that can be “entered” on the electronic control to allow operation of each function separately.

Virtually all functional component testing must be performed similarly to a non-electronic product by verifying whether the component is “good,” or whether there is voltage present at the component. To know how these com- ponents function in this product, refer to the “Theory of Operation” section and the contents of this section.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Electronic Control Board

•Virtually all components and functions are electrically connected to and controlled by the Electronic Control Board both on the “line” and “neutral” side.The exception is the ice dispenser motor and the dispenser light. These components are directly connected to and controlled by the User Interface.

•The majority of components and functions controlled by the Electronic Control Board are switched on the “neutral” side of the circuit. This means the “line” side of the circuit to the component(s) always has voltage potential.

User Interface Control Board

•The User Interface Control Board is also energized by “line” and “neutral” circuits through the Electronic Control Board. Communication between the two boards is through the “TX” and “RX” circuits (refer to the Wiring Diagram and Strip Circuit).

•Turning OFF the refrigerator turns off all of the interior and indicator lights except two dots (“.”) in the temperature displays.
