1. Diagnostic Procedures The diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation and proper voltage per nameplate. See the table for default cabinet temperature control dial settings.
1) Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. 2) Remove the CM mounting bracket and place the CM in a place where the LEDs are visible. 3) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet. If appliance was in defrost when power supply was disconnected, defrost is terminated and normal cooling cycle begins. 4) Startup/Cool Down– All 3 LEDs flash on then off, then a solid yellow LED turns on for 10 sec., yellow LED turns off and solid green LED turns on (normal cooling cycle).
5) Cool Down Achieved–CTh reaches setpoint temperature. All Models: Comp and ConFM de-energize. UR/WR and UF/WF: EvapFM de‑energize. SR: EvapFM continues. Diagnosis: If temperature setpoint achieved and Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM does not de-energize (except SR), check CTh continuity. See "II.D. Thermistor Check." If CTh is defective, replace. If CTh is good and either the Comp, ConFM, or EvapFM continue, replace CM.
2a) Manually-Terminated: Set the CTCD to the off position, then back to original setting or unplugging and plugging back in to the electrical outlet. Defrost terminated. 2b) Temperature or Time Terminated: (1) UR/WR: 45°F (7.2°C) achieved or 55-min. backup DT terminates. If CTh calling for cooling, Comp and ConFM energize. EvapFM continues. (2) SR: 46°F (7.7°C) achieved or 45-min. backup DT terminates. DH de‑energizes. Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM energize. (3) UF/WF: 55°F (12.7°C) achieved or 1-hr.
(3) EvapFM Diagnosis UR/WR: EvapFM continues. If not, check for 115VAC at CM AUX 1 black-smooth (BK-SM) wire to a neutral white (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CM. SR and UF/WF: Confirm EvapFM de-energizes. If not, check for 115VAC at CM AUX 1 black-smooth (BK-SM) to a neutral white (W). If 115VAC is present, confirm Comp and ConFM de-energized. Next, check DTh continuity. See "II.D. Thermistor Check." Replace as needed. If DTh confirmed, replace CM.
C. Control Module Check 1. Control Module Before replacing a CM that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Always choose a neutral white (W) wire to establish a good power supply and neutral connection to CM. Check that 115VAC is present between CM Live In black (BK) wire and CM Neutral white (W) wire. Confirm defrost and cabinet thermistors are connected.
1a. Control Module LED Operation: The control module has 3 LEDs that illuminate based on the status of the thermistors. Red (R), Yellow (Y), and Green (G). a) Warm Cabinet Thermistor - Power on: All 3 LEDs turn on for 2 sec. then turn off. Next, yellow (Y) LED turns on for 10 sec. b) Warm Cabinet Thermistor - Compressor energizes: Yellow (Y) LED turns off, green (G) LED turns on (normal cooling cycle). c) Cool Cabinet Thermistor - Cabinet temperature achieved.
3. Defrost initiation 5) Manual Defrost Check: Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet, then move the CTCD to the off position. Plug appliance back into the electrical outlet. The CM green, yellow, and red LED turn on. Rotate the CTCD clockwise to position 4 (green and red LED turn off, yellow LED remains on), move Counter-clockwise to position 2 (yellow LED turns off and red LED turns on), move back clockwise to position 8 (red LED remains on and green LED turns on). Defrost initiates.
D. Thermistor Check The cabinet thermistor works in conjunction with cabinet temperature control dial (CTCD) to control cabinet temperature. The defrost thermistor is used for defrost initiation and termination on all models and evaporator fan motor restart on UF/WF. • UR/WR: Defrost termination is 45°F (7.2°C). • SR: Defrost termination is 46°F (7.7°C). • UF/WF: Defrost initiation is below -31°F (-35°C). Defrost termination is 55°F (12.7°C). • UR/WR: Evaporator fan motor is energized during defrost.
E. Diagnostic Table Before consulting the diagnostic tables, check the following: • Check the cabinet temperature control dial setting. See the table for default cabinet temperature control dial settings.
