Stepper motors require alternating polarities of DC current to operate. This is
accomplished with a circuit on the main board. Applying straight 12 V DC to
the damper motor will not make the motor run and it could damage the motor
windings. Only test the damper motor through the refrigerator control system.
To replace the damper, make sure the damper door is closed all the way.
Then follow the removal instructions in reverse order. Using caution,
make sure you get the wiring connector pushed all the way in and make
sure the seal on the damper connect with the liner, and the cover seal so
we do not have any air leaks when the damper door is closed.
To test, set the control system into service test mode 2 (Evaporator fan
motor test) and allow the fan to run on high speed. With a feather or
small ribbon go around the cover over the damper on all sides and look
for movement indicating a air leak. If the air leak is present you will need
to remove and recheck seals and reinstall the damper.
The food compartment temperature sensor is located next to the right
hand shelf support bracket in about the middle. See figure 2.
The cover over the temperature sensor can be removed by pulling
straight out. This will gain you access to the sensor snapped into the
bracket on the back. Pull the sensor out of the bracket and unplug it from
the connector coming out of the back of the liner. See figure 3.
Snap the new sensor into the bracket, plug it into the connector and
push the bracket straight back into the holes in the liner.
The freezer compartment temperature sensor is located inside the
housing that supports the ice bucket and has the auger motor and
solenoid mounted into it. See figure 5.
To replace, remove the ice bucket, then remove the two screws at the
bottom of the housing holding the housing assembley to the rails
attached to the liner. With the screws removed, lift the housing up about
1/2 inch and pull forward. Holding the housing assembly in one hand,
you can reach over the assembly and unplug the wiring harness from
the connector coming out of the back of the liner. Turn the assembly
around and the senser is in the top corner next the the foam block over
the cube ice solenoid.
Remove the sensor from under the clip (see figure 6), disconnect form
connector plug and replace. Reassemble in reverse order.
