• Jump the OL and OC terminals. If the unit
switches to high speed, replace the switch.
• Plug in the unit and select "MIN" or "MAX".
Press the door switch and see if the port damper
opens. If it doesn't open, feed 120V directly to
the damper actuator. If the port damper still does
not open, replace the damper actuator.
• Unplug the unit. Unplug the defrost sensor wire
(see J4 on electrical diagrams, Section 9.0).
Plug the unit back in. Select "MIN" and make sure
the unit is adjusted for low speed operation (turn
all dehumidistats maximum counterclockwise).
Wait 3 minutes. The unit should switch to high
speed and the damper at the fresh air intake
port should close (defrost mode). If this does
not happen, then replace the circuit board.
• If the defrost mode works well after having
disconnecting the thermistor wire (above test),
this means the thermistor is probably defective.
You should replace it.
