Temperature can cause some fan speed variation.
Fan speed can vary +/- 5%, depending on the
temperature, with higher temperatures causing
slightly higher speeds.
Condenser fan speed is controlled by Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM), the same method used to control
fan speed for the evaporator.

The speed of the fan is controlled by the voltage
output from the main control board (J2 pin 5 to J2
pin 3). Voltage output from the control board to the
fan is 13.6 VDC; however, to regulate the speed of
the fan, the main control board uses pulse width
modulation (PWM).
When operating, voltage is sent in pulses (much like
a duty cycle) as opposed to an uninterrupted
fl
ow.
This pulsing of 13.6 VDC produces effective voltage
being received at the motor, which is equivalent to a
reduction in voltage.
Fan speed is selected and maintained by the main
control board regulating the length and frequency
of the 13.6 VDC pulse.

out from the cabinet.
Disconnect the 2 wire harnesses to the inverter.
3.
Remove the 1/4-in. hex-head screw and the
4.
inverter ground wire from the cabinet.
Inverter
The inverter is accessed from the back of the
refrigerator and is located on the left side of the
compressor behind the water valve. The water valve
and the EMI
fi
lter must be removed to access the
inverter.
To remove the inverter:
Remove the 1/4-in. hex-head screw that holds
1.
the water valve and the 5/16-in. hex-head screw
that holds the EMI
fi
lter to the cabinet.
Note:
The inverter is attached to the compressor by
a lip above the compressor terminals, a tab (located
at the bottom rear corner), and a Phillips-head
screw.
