Articulating Door Mullion (French Door Models) - GE GBSC0 Technical Service Manual

Articulating Door Mullion (French Door
Models)
The articulating door mullion is attached to the
left side door, and provides a movable center
mullion that maximizes access to the fresh food
compartment. With both refrigerator doors closed
or only the right side door opened, the mullion stays
in position. When the left side door is opened, the
spring-loaded mullion is activated to fold against
the handle side of the door liner.
The pin on top of the mullion and the track, located
at the top center front of the refrigerator, ensure
proper mullion bar alignment upon closure of the
left side door.

The articulating door mullion consists of the mullion,
heater, internal spring, and 2 hinges. It is available
only as an assembly.
Note: If the Energy Saver light is lit, then the heaters
in the vertical and horizontal mullions are disabled.
The heater operates on 13.6 VDC when both doors
are closed. It is necessary to close the right side
door and close the left side light switch to test for
the operating voltage of 13.6 VDC. The resistance of
the heater is approximately 24 Ω.
To replace the articulating door mullion assembly,
it is necessary to remove the 2 Phillips-head screws
from the top and bottom hinges. The wire harness
can be pulled out from the recess in the bottom of
the door and disconnected.
