Freezer Thermistor
If the control senses an open or a shorted ther-
mistor, the compressor and the evaporator fan
motor will begin to operate on a timed on and
off cycle. The cycle time is based on current
selected temperature settings.
At mid-settings of 37°F / 0°C, the compressor
and the evaporator fan motors will run for 35
minutes, and be off for 25 minutes. Setting the
freezer colder will increase the run time. Set-
ting the freezer warmer will decrease the run
time.
The compressor will run at minimum speed.
The evaporator fan will also run at minimum
speed, unless the refrigerator compartment
requests a higher speed.
Keypad
If the control detects that the keypad is not
working, it reverts to the default temperature
settings of 37°F in the refrigerator, and 0°F in
the freezer.
Evaporator Fan Motor
If the evaporator fan motor malfunctions, the
compressor will run at 4500 rpm for an indefi-
nite period, except during the defrost periods.
The "Call Service Alarm" will sound until the
failure has been corrected.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL
THERMAL SHUTOFF
The electronic control utilizes an on-board ther-
mistor to shut the compressor off if the tem-
perature rises above 160°F (71°C). When the
temperature drops to 130°F (55°C), the com-
pressor returns to normal operation. This cycle
continues indefinitely until the cause of the high
temperature has been corrected.
If this cycle is repeated four times within 24
hours, the "Call Service" indicator lights, and
the alarm sounds.
MAX COOL MODE
Max Cool changes the refrigerator tempera-
ture setting to 32°F (0°C) and the freezer to
–10°F (–23°C) for 24 hours. During Max Cool,
the freezer and refrigerator temperature dis-
plays show the new temperature settings, not
the actual temperatures.
In most cases the motors run 100% for more
than 1 hour. The control returns to the previous
user setting after 24 hours, or any time the
temperature settings are changed.
AUTOMATIC MAX ICE
Automatic Max Ice operates any time the ice
maker water valve is energized. The duration
of Automatic Max Ice is 1-1/2 hours. During
Automatic Max Ice the following occurs:
• The freezer display shows the user tempera-
ture settings and not the actual temperature.
• The freezer temperature setting changes to
–9°F (–23°C).
• The evaporator fan runs at 3000 rpm.
• The compressor runs the entire 1-1/2 hour
mode. Speed is determined by the differ-
ence between actual freezer temperature
and -9°F (-23°C).
HOLIDAY MODE
The Holiday Mode may be used for the follow-
ing occasions:
• On vacation.
• Religious observance (Sabbath Mode).
When the Holiday Mode is selected, the corre-
sponding green LED flashes for 2 seconds,
and then remains on, to indicate that the fea-
ture is activated.
