HOW TO USE THE ERROR CODE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Error Codes indicate problems registered by specific components. If error codes are registered, they will appear
before temperature readings while in Diagnostic Mode.
NOTE: If Error Codes appear with a flashing "SERVICE" annunciator prior to initiating Diagnostic Mode, the unit
experienced excessive compressor run condition that may or may not be associated with the Error Codes displayed.
To initiate Diagnostic Mode, press and hold either COLDER key, then press the UNIT ON/OFF key, then release
both keys. Now, check to see if Error Codes are present, being sure to toggle through all error and temperature
readings by pressing either COLDER key or either WARMER key. (See Error Code Table Below)
If Error Codes appear during Diagnostic Mode, follow the Error Code Troubleshooting Guide on the following page.
The left column of the troubleshooting guide lists the error codes. The information in the right column explains what
tests to perform and/or what action to take to correct the error.
NOTE: If error codes are observed in diagnostic mode, a non-flashing SERVICE annunciator will appear on the
LCD when Diagnostic Mode ends, indicating error codes are still stored. Error Codes must be cleared from the elec-
tronic control memory manually. To clear the non-flashing SERVICE annunciator and the error codes, the problem
must be corrected and the unit must be ON. Then, press and hold the Door Ajar Alarm Bell ON/OFF key for 15 sec-
onds. The control will emit a short "beep" when the SERVICE annunciator and error codes are cleared.
