Grounding Information

Standard color for ground wires is green or green with
yellow striping. Ground wires are not to be used as
conductors carrying current. Compressor, condenser
fan motor, evaporator fan motor, defrost timer,
temperature control, and ice maker are grounded
through an individual wire attached to electrical
component and another part of refrigerator. Ground
wires should not be removed from individual
components while servicing unless component is
removed and replaced. It is extremely important to
replace all grounds prior to completing service. When
nib-headed screw is used to complete grounding
circuit, replace screw with a like screw.
