https://appliancetechmanuals.com C. Display Module When the power switch is moved to the "ON" position there is a slight delay, then the current cabinet temperature is displayed. From the display module, the cabinet setpoint and temperature display scale can be changed. For further details, see "II.C.2. Controls and Adjustments."...
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 2. Controls and Adjustments a) Default Settings 1. Temperature Setting: Refrigerator: 36°F (3°C). Freezer: -4°F (-20°C). 2. Temperature Display Scale: F. b) Temperature Setpoint The temperature setpoint is the value for the average cabinet temperature. The temperature differential for the compressor to turn on and off is ±3°F (±1.7°C) of the temperature setpoint for refrigerators and +2°F/-3°F (+1.1°C/-1.7°C) of the temperature setpoint for freezers.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com D. Control Module All models are pretested and factory set CAUTION 1. The control module is fragile, handle very carefully. 2. Do not change wiring and connections. Never misconnect terminals. 3. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage. 1.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 2. Alarm Safeties Alarm signals are designed to protect the unit and food product. These alarms give information or warnings in the event the unit is operating out of acceptable parameters. Should one of the alarms occur, follow the instructions in the table below to address the alarm.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com F. Compressor Overload and Short Cycle Protection 1. Compressor Overload a) Refrigerator The refrigerator compressor is protected by an external compressor overload and a high-pressure switch (2-section). When the compressor temperature or amperage value is above the limit specified by the compressor manufacturer, the external compressor overload activates, turning off the compressor.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com IV. Service Diagnosis WARNING 1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. 2. Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 1. Refrigerator 7) Startup/Cool Down–EvapFM, MH, and PH energize. There is a slight delay, then Comp and ConFM energize and cabinet temperature appears on DM. a) Startup Diagnosis: Check that EvapFM energizes. If not, confirm that the door(s) are closed and DS contacts are closed. Check EvapFM blade for binding. Next, check for 115VAC at DSR (terminals 7 (white (W)) and 8 (light blue (LBU)).
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 9) Defrost Temperature-Initiated Defrost: DTh cools to 8.6°F (-13°C). EvapFM, MH, and PH continue. Comp and ConFM de-energize. Defrost Termination: DTh warms to 40°F (4.4°C). EvapFM, MH, and PH continue. Comp and ConFM energize. 2-minute temperature display delay timer starts. 2 minutes later, cabinet temperature appears on DM.
Page 26
https://appliancetechmanuals.com b) Cool Down Diagnosis: Confirm that Comp and ConFM energize and cabinet temperature appears on DM. If not, confirm 115VAC between CM L3 and CM N5. If 115VAC is not present, confirm wiring connections are secure for both the power wire (CM L3) and the neutral wire (CM N5).
Page 27
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 9) Defrost Temperature/Time-Initiated Defrost: Once DTh cools to 32°F (0°C), a 4-hour cumulative Comp run timer starts. Once DTh is at or below 32°F (0°C) and 4-hour cumulative Comp run timer terminates, MH and PH continue, DH energizes, and Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM de-energize.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 10) MH and PH Diagnosis: Check that MH and PH energize. Check for 115VAC at MH and PH. If 115VAC is not present, check power supply and continuity of power switch. If 115VAC is present, check amp draw of MH or PH. If an amp reading is not present, check the continuity of MH or PH.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 10) Check that the components restart after defrost termination. Refrigerator: Compressor and condenser fan motor energize as soon as the defrost thermistor termination temperature is satisfied. See "Defrost Termination" under "IV.A.1.9) Defrost" and "IV.C. Thermistor Check." If components fail to start, control module must be replaced.

https://appliancetechmanuals.com V. Removal and Replacement of Components WARNING 1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. 2. Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the unit from the electrical outlet before servicing.
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 2. Brazing WARNING 1. R-134a and R-404A themselves are not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). 2. R-134a and R-404A themselves are not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-134a and R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.
