Diagnosing the main control and User Interface
(UI) control are covered in this section. Many
components can be checked from the main
control, which can be accessed with the door
on or removed if needed. Some connectors are
located through the bottom cover to allow easy
access to AC supply connector, door harness
and ACM or Appliance Control Module. The
Connect Plus Module (sold separately) allows the
appliance to communicate with the utility meter
when peak rates occur, and allows the appliance
to respond and operate in a manner that will
reduce energy usage of that appliance at high/
critical demand rates. For more information on
the module and display, refer to the separate
Connect Plus documents.
WARNING: GE Factory Service Technicians
are REQUIRED to follow Lockout / Tagout
(LOTO) 6 Step Process prior to beginning
repair.
