How to Fix

  1. 1

    Inspect door gasket for damage or gaps. If gasket is damaged or not sealing, replace the door gasket.

  2. 2

    Enter Test Mode 1 (press test button 1 time). Measure resistance at CON9 pins 5–13. Expected: 42 to 50 Ω. If resistance is out of range, check and replace Fuse-M.

  3. 3

    Measure defrost sensor resistance at CON8 pins 26–25. Expected at room temp: ~22 kΩ. If reading is 22 kΩ or open/infinite, replace the defrost sensor or product as appropriate.

  4. 4

    Enter Test Mode 3 (press test button 3 times, forced defrost). Measure voltage at CON9 pins 5–13. Expected: 112–116 V. If voltage is not present, replace the Main PCB.

  5. 5

    Enter Test Mode 1. Measure voltage at CON9 pins 5–13. Expected: 0 V (heater off). If voltage is not 0 V, replace the Main PCB.

  6. 6
