Pointers:
(NOTE: w/Refrigerator Comp. run-
ning for 5 minutes)
1. Evap. temp 15°F or lower within
5 minutes w/door open, see:
• Door ajar
• Faulty light switch
• Evaporator Fan fault
• Evaporator heavily frosted
• Evaporator thermistor mal
function
• Sealed System problem,
leak or partial restriction
2. Evap. Temp. cannot pull
below 30°F within 5 minutes
w/door open, see:
• Condenser Air Flow
• Evaporator thermistor mal
function
• Sealed System problem,
leak or inefficient compres-
sor
3. Evap. Temp. 35°F or higher
within 5 minutes w/door
open, see:
• Condenser Air Flow
• Power To Compressor fault
• Sealed System problem,
leak, restriction or inefficient
compressor
4. “EE” displayed in place of
temperature reading, see:
• Thermistor Malfunction
a. Clean condenser.
b. Remove obstruction.
c. Check electrical connections, reconnect/repair.
Check power to motor, replace motor if defective.
d. Check COND FAN terminal on control board for
115V. (w/comp. running). Replace board if defective.
Check light switch, lights off when depressed. Replace if
defective.
a. Move obstruction
b. Check power to and from fan switch, replace if
defective.
c. Check wiring to, and power at, fan motor. Repair
wiring or replace motor if defective.
a. See Evaporator Fan Fault above.
b. See Evaporator Thermistor Malfunction below.
Check evaporator thermistor connection and thermistor
Ohms = 32,500 at 32°F and 10,000 = 77°F. Repair con-
nection or replace thermistor if defective.
a. Check wiring at compressor, reconnect or repair.
b. Check compressor electricals, replace if defective.
c. Check R COMP terminal on control board for 115V.
If no power, replace board.
