The diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical
system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation and proper
voltage per nameplate.
Confirm that the appliance location meets factory requirements:
• This appliance is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient
temperature should be within 45°F to 86°F (7°C to 30°C).
• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat
producing equipment. Check CM using the steps in "II.C. Control Module Check."
Note: • When checking voltage (115VAC), always choose a white (W) neutral wire to
establish a good neutral connection.
• CM has high and low voltage protection. If off on either protection, no LED is
visible and all components are off.
High Voltage: 135VAC
Low Voltage: 90VAC
• Solid red LED for 5 sec. at startup.
• Flashing green LED: Normal operation.
• Flashing red LED: check cabinet thermistor and defrost thermistor (if applicable).
• CM has a 2 min. minimum on time and 2 min. minimum off time for Comp.
