CAUTION

All electrical parts and wiring must be shielded from torch flame. DO NOT allow torch 
to touch insulation; it will char at 200°F and flash ignite (burn) at 500°F. Excessive 
heat will distort the plastic liner.

Variable Capacity Compressor (VCC) Diagnostics (select models)
If test 38 fails, diagnose as follows:

Replace Inverter Board

Check at Inverter Board on 

Compressor 

(BLK and RED wires)

Is Inverter Board receiving 10-15 

VAC and 1-5 VDC from Main 

Control Board?

Check at Main Control Board 

(BLK/WHT and RED/BLK wires)

Is Main Control Board sending 

10-15 VAC and 1-5 VDC to 

Inverter Board?

no

Check at the connector from the power cord 

harness into the inverter board, located in 

the machine  compartment.

(PUR and WHT wires)

Is Inverter Board receiving 115 VAC 

from power supply?

Check voltage supply.

Check and repair power 

cord harness wiring and 

connections.

no

Identify and repair damaged wires or  

poor connections between Main Control 

Board and Inverter Board.

yes

Remove inverter box from the 

compressor and check resistance 

across compressor winding pairs as 

shown.

Is resistance across all winding 

pairs equal?

Replace Compressor and 

Inverter Board.

no

Check connections from Inverter 

Board to Compressor

Are connections from Inverter 

Board to Compressor intact?

yes

Identify and repair damaged 

wires or poor connections 

between Inverter Board and 

Compressor.

no

VCC Resistance Check

Check resistance between terminals 1 and 

2, 2 and 3, 3 and 1.  

If all resistances are equal, 

compressor is operative.

Replace Main Control Board.

no

FREEZER ICE MAKER INFORMATION

(Where Applicable)

Test Cycling: 

Remove cover by inserting screwdriver in notch at  bottom and prying cover 

from housing. Use screwdriver to rotate motor gear counterclockwise until holding switch 
circuit is completed. All components of ice maker should function to complete the cycle.  

Water Fill Volume: 

The water fill adjustment screw will change the fill time. One full 

turn is equal to 20cc (.68 oz.). The correct fill is 102 to 130cc (3.4 to 4.3 oz.). When 
a water valve is replaced, the fill volume must be checked.
