Fan Operation And Delay - Whirlpool JOB AID GC1SHAXM Installation And Operation Manual

Both the condenser and evaporator fan mo-
tors operate on DC voltage. The control board
supplies 115 volts AC to each motor, where it
is converted to DC.
EVAPORATOR FAN
• Fan Start Delay—Fan is energized
3 minutes after the compressor starts.
• Fan Stop Delay—Fan is switched OFF
1 minute after the compressor stops.
• IMPORTANT: Evaporator fan shuts off
when either the refrigerator or freezer
door is opened.
CONDENSER FAN
• Fan start delay—Fan is energized
1 minute after the compressor starts.
• Fan stops when the compressor shuts
off.
POWER FAILURE / TEMPERATURE RISE
This product has no audible alarm. However, it
will alert the customer of a long power outage,
or temperature rise, if the temperature rises
above 17.6°F (–8°C). Should this occur, the
following will happen:
• The "alert" will only be indicated on the
freezer temperature display.
• The freezer temperature display blinks
continually, and will show the actual
freezer compartment temperature from
the time the power is restored. If there
are consecutive outages, the display
will show the highest temperature for
the entire period.
• The actual compartment temperature
will display until the freezer COLD or
COLDER keypad is pressed. The "alert"
is terminated, and the display will revert
back to the set temperature.
• All settings and memory are saved and
are continued after power has been re-
stored, i.e. FAST FREEZE, GROCERY
SAVOR, and ice preference.

FAN OPERATION AND DELAY

DEFAULT SETTINGS
If communication between the user interface
and the control board is lost for more than
3 minutes, the user interface assumes the
board is working correctly. The control board
stores the current temperature settings, but
will go into a "default mode," and maintain
preset temperatures. Once communication is
restored, the stored settings are again used.
If communication is broken between the user
interface and the control board during an "ON"
cycle:
Electronic Control

tained are:
- Refrigerator section: 41°F (5°C).
- Freezer section: 0°F (–18°C).
User Interface

Temp alternately (Communication
Fault).
• Refrigerator display flashes the Set
Temperature.
• The user interface keypads will be dis-
abled
• The ice maker will be disabled.
• The water filter status indicator light
will blink, and the reset keypad will be
