Component Description 

Test 

Procedures 

Overload/Relay 

 

When voltage is connected 
and relay is cool, current 
passes through relay to start 
winding. 
After a short time, current 
heats the resistor in relay and 
resistance will rise blocking 
current flow through relay. 
Start winding remains in the 
circuit through run capacitor. 
Solid state relay plugs directly 
on compressor start and run 
terminals.  Relay terminals 2 
and 3 are connected within 
relay.  Run capacitor is 
connected to relay terminal 3.  
L2 side of 120 VAC power is 
connected to relay terminal 2. 

1.  Disconnect power to the refrigerator. 
2.  Remove relay cover and disconnect leads. 
3.

 

Check resistance across terminals 2 and 3 with an ohmmeter:
Normal = 3 to 12 ohms 
Shorted = 0 ohms 
Open = infinite ohms 

Ice maker 

See “Ice Maker” section for 
service information. 

ECM condenser 
motor 

 

 

Condenser fan moves cooling 
air across condenser coil and 
compressor body. 
Condenser fan motor is in 
parallel circuit with 
compressor. 

Check resistance across coil. 

Evaporator fan 
motor 

 

Evaporator fan moves air 
across evaporator coil and 
throughout refrigerator 
cabinet. 

1.  Disconnect power to unit. 
2.  Disconnect fan motor leads. 

3. 

Check resistance from ground connection 

solder.  Trace to motor frame must not exceed .05
ohms. 

4. Check for voltage at connector to motor with unit in 

refrigeration mode and compressor operating. 

Fresh food light 
switch 

 

Single pole, single throw 
switch completes circuit for 
light when door is open. 

Check resistant across terminals. 

Switch arm depressed

Freezer 
light/interlock switch 

 

Single pole, Double throw 
switch completes circuit for 
light when door is open.  
Completes circuit for 
dispenser when door is 
closed. 

Check resistant across terminals. 

Switch arm depressed 

“NO” terminals 

Open 

”NC” terminals 

Closed 

Switch arm not depressed
