What This Means

Connector slipped out or open contact; Wire cut or short-circuited; Defective thermistor; Heater continues heating during defrost for more than 80 minutes

What actually causes this:

Defrost heater relay stuck, thermistor fails, or wiring shorted

First Thing to Check

Turn off power, disconnect CN70_1, measure heater element resistance

Parts Involved

R-Defrost Heater (Sheath 120V 120W)R-Defrost SensorCN70_1 ConnectorWire harness

How to Fix

  1. 1

    Disconnect MAIN PCB CN70_1 and read resistance between Orange and White wire terminals

  2. 2

    0 Ohm reading indicates heater short circuit

  3. 3

    Infinity Ohm reading indicates wire cut or blown thermistor

  4. 4

    Check wire diagram for normal heater resistance values

  5. 5

    Verify defrost cycle completes within 80 minutes
