Electronic Control

The purpose of this section is to familiarize the service technician with the operation of the User Interface so as to 
determine proper functioning of the electronic control system.  This section explains all electronic controls and 
diagnostics for the unit with the exception of the Ice Maker.  The Ice Maker is covered in the Ice Maker Section in 
detail.

There are two standard User Interface controls that are available with dispenser equipped model refrigerator, the 
Wave-Touch

™

  and IQ-Touch

™

 (See Figure 3-1 and 3-2).   There are many similarities between the Wave-Touch 

and IQ-Touch interfaces, with the main difference being the location of certain icons and the sleep state for the Wave 
Touch interface.  The function of the icon pressed will be the same for each user interface unless otherwise noted.

The User Interface (See Figure 3-3) for non-dispensing models is an IQ-Touch

™

 control.  The control layout is 

different than the user interface in Figure 3-2 but the functions are simular unless otherwise noted.  See page 3-4 for 
details.
