disconnecting the wire connectors from the
encoder or touch panel.
Temperature Encoder
The temperature encoder (knob version)
receives switched DC voltage from the main
control board. There are two possible failure
modes - both are open circuits.
An open circuit from the supply side results in
the refrigerator defaulting to midpoint. The
supply side consists of pins 1 and 2.
An open circuit from the return side results in
inconsistent run mode. The return side consists
of pins 3 and 6.
Failure of the fresh-food-only side results in the
fresh food defaulting to midpoint.
Failure of the freezer side results in the freezer
defaulting to midpoint.
