BCD280WEV804* Troubleshooting w/R134a & R600a -
Updated 10/18/23
Negative and chassis ground are not tied together.
Fuse size: 15 amp
Wire size: 10g
Tools used: Philip screwdriver, standard screwdriver, needle nose pliers, Digital volt/ohm
meter, piece of 10g wire to use as a jumper.
Note:
When checking voltage anytime in the guide, checks should be made with the refrigerator off
(no load) and refrigerator on (load) to rule out a false surface charge. Voltage could be affected by the
converter charging the batteries and will need to be considered.
Caution: before replacing any component ensure power is disconnected.

- Page 1 BCD280WEV804* Troubleshooting w/R134a & R600a - Updated 10/18/23 Negative and chassis ground are not tied together. Fuse size: 15 amp Wire size: 10g Tools used: Philip screwdriver, standard screwdriver, needle nose pliers, Digital volt/ohm meter, piece of 10g wire to use as a jumper. Note: When checking voltage anytime in the guide, checks should be made with the refrigerator off (no load) and refrigerator on (load) to rule out a false surface charge.
- Page 2 If your refrigerator will not turn on. What is the voltage? (12.5- 13.6) at the top of the terminal block. White is positive and blue is negative, yellow with green trace is chassis ground. If there is no voltage at the terminal block check fuse in power center. Should be labeled Refrigerator and it should be the only thing on that circuit.
- Page 3 To continue checking the harness you will need to remove 4 screws securing the protective grill. If you have proper voltage continue to check the power harness by checking the 2 white connectors to ensure they are securely plugged in and there is proper voltage at both sides of the connectors.
- Page 4 Once the enclosure is removed you will check for voltage at the white positive and blue negative wires on the circuit board. If there is proper voltage(12.5-13.6) and the refrigerator still doesn’t power on, the main circuit board will need replaced. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 5 Refrigerator has power but is not cooling. Check to see if there is good voltage (12.5-13.6.) at the compressor board. You will check it at the positive white wire and negative blue wire. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 6 If the voltage is not correct check voltage on both sides of the slow burn fuse in the choke coil power harness. It is in the white wire that is connected to the positive terminal on the compressor board. Voltage should be the same on both sides.
- Page 7 If there is proper voltage, remove the lower white wire on the compressor board which is the T terminal and use a piece of 10g wire and jump the T-terminal to the negative terminal on the terminal block. If the compressor comes on replace the main circuit board.
- Page 8 Compressor is running but unit is not getting cold. Check the draw when the compressor is running and notate the amps. This can be checked on the incoming positive or negative wire. If it is lower check for any signs of an oily substance on the copper lines which could indicate a possible refrigerant leak.
- Page 9 Freezer is getting cold but the refrigerator compartment is warm. Check the operation of the freezer fan by removing the 2 screw covers and screws from the fan assembly. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 10 Gently pull the fan assembly towards you until you can see if the black plug is connected. If it is plugged in, check for voltage at the red and black wires. You should have 12-12.5volts. If voltage is present and fan is not working replace fan assembly.
- Page 11 Freezer is freezing up Check to ensure the door seals are sealing properly. Put a flashlight in the compartments and look for any light around the seals. If light is seen, you can try and adjust the door. The seals can also be replaced if the adjustment did not solve the issue.
- Page 12 Water leaking in refrigerator compartment. Check to see if the drain tube and or the wind channel drip tray is block. You will need to remove the single Phillips screw holding it in place. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 13 You can check the drain tube for blockage by running a length of 10g wire to try and unclogged the tube. If it is iced up let it sit for 24 hours unplugged to thaw out. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 14 Refrigerator is cold but the light does not function. Check the operation of the door switch. When the door is open the light should come on. If light does not come on replace led light by removing the temperature control assembly(wind channel) to access the light. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 15 Fan is making noise. Remove fan assembly from freezer compartment and check the routing of the wires. Reinstall wires in clips under the foil insulation. Incorrect Correct Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 16 Flashing lights on the temp control panel indicate the following. 1 & 2 indicate the refrigerator temp sensor in the wind channel is not reading correctly or is not plugged in. Check CN2 on main circuit board. If it is plugged in replace refrigerator temp sensor in the wind channel assembly.
- Page 17 2& 3 indicates defrost temp sensor is not reading correctly or is unplugged. Freezer temp sensor Freezer temp sensor plug Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 18 3& 4 indicates freezer fan fault, check fan for power. Check red and black for 12 volts. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
- Page 19 If all lights are flashing it indicates under/over voltage has occurred. Remove fuse from power center and let it set for 10 minutes and then reinstall fuse and check for flashing lights. Telephone: 432-LIPPERT customerservice@lci1.com...
