Minor
Usually easy to fix - may resolve on its own
Also displayed as: R-10-2 (LED blink pattern on panel)
What This Means
Connector at CN30/CN76 loose or disconnected; Sensor reading above 149°F (65°C) or below -58°F (-50°C); Sensor wire broken or shorted; Failed PX-41C / 502AT sensor
What actually causes this:
The pantry sensor or its connector failed — the Cool Select Pantry compartment will lose temperature control.
First Thing to Check
Re-seat the white-black wire connector at CN30 pin 9 on the main board.
Parts Involved
How to Fix
- 1
Check MAIN PCB connectors CN30 and CN76 are fully seated
- 2
Measure resistance between CN30 #9 (White-Black) and CN76 #1 (Gray) — compare to DATA1 table
- 3
Measure voltage at CN30 #9 (White-Black) vs REG1 HEAT SINK ground — should be 0.6V to 4.6V
- 4
Check IC01 MICOM pin #73 input voltage
- 5
Check SENSOR MARKING #6 (R314) on PCB
