How to Fix
- 1
Check door gasket for damage. If gasket is damaged, replace the door gasket.
- 2
Measure heater resistance at CON9 pins 7~13 (Test Mode 1). Expected 105~117 ohm for a good heater.
- 3
If resistance is out of range, the Fuse-M may be open. Change Fuse-M.
- 4
Check defrost sensor resistance at CON4 pins 20~19. Expected ~22k ohm. If open or 0 ohm, replace the defrost sensor.
- 5
Enter Test Mode 3 (press test button 3 times). Measure voltage at CON9 pins 7~13. Expected 112~116V.
- 6
If voltage is not 112~116V in Test Mode 3, check input voltage. If input voltage is OK, replace the Main PCB.
- 7
Enter Test Mode 1. Measure voltage at CON9 pins 7~13. Expected 0V.
- 8
If voltage is not 0V in Test Mode 1, replace the Main PCB.
- 9
If all checks pass, replace the refrigerator.
