The diagnostic procedure is basically a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation and proper voltage per appliance nameplate. When checking AC voltage (115VAC), always choose a neutral (W) wire to establish a good neutral connection. If the control board is in alarm, see "II.I Alarm Safeties."...

9) Cool Down Achieved–EvapFM icon is on. CTh cools to setpoint (default 39°F). EvapFM continues. If Comp run time > 3-min., Comp icon turns off and Comp de-energizes. If Comp run time < 3-min., Comp continues until 3-min. Comp run timer terminates, then Comp icon turns off and Comp de-energizes. Diagnosis: If CTh is in range and Comp does not de-energize, confirm Comp run time >...

12) Energy Saving Mode ESM initiates during periods of inactivity. Once CTh cools to setpoint, 20-min. ESM timer starts. DS must remain engaged without activation (door open) for 20 min. after CTh has achieved setpoint for ESM to initiate. Once 20-min. ESM timer terminates, EvapFM operates on ESM cycle.
F. Control Board and Display Module Check • For factory default settings, see "II.J. Service Menu." • For control board check procedure, see "II.F.3. Control Board Check." NOTICE • The control board and display module are fragile; handle very carefully. •...
3. Control Board Check Before replacing a CB that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Always choose a neutral (W wire) to establish a good neutral connection when checking AC voltage (115VAC).
H. Diagnostic Chart Before consulting the diagnostic charts, check the following: • Check the cabinet temperature setpoint and factory default settings. For factory default settings, see "II.B. Cabinet Temperature and Defrost" and "II.J. Service Menu." • Make sure the doors are not left open or opened too often and that they are sealing properly.

2. Evaporator is Frozen Up Evaporator is Frozen Up - Possible Cause Evaporator a) Dirty. Evaporator Fan Motor a) Defective. Control Board a) Defective, not operating evaporator fan motor. Refrigerant/Refrigerant Lines a) Gas leak, low charge. b) Refrigerant lines restricted. 3.
I. Alarm Safeties The alarms are designed to protect the appliance and the items inside. These alarms give information and warnings in the event the appliance is operating out of acceptable parameters. For all alarms except Pr1, the alarm icon turns on and the alarm code alternates with the cabinet temperature.
b) Clearing High and Low Temperature Alarms To clear an alarm, follow the steps below. 1) Press the "-" button for 3 sec. to enter the alarm menu. "EnS" is displayed. 2) Press the "-" or "+" button twice. After pressing the "-" or "+" button the first time, "LS" is displayed.
