Control Diagnostics Using The Temperature Display; Troubleshooting - GE GBSC0 Technical Service Manual

Control Diagnostics Using the Temperature Display

The temperature display has a self-diagnosis mode that can be accessed and will help the technician to test
certain functions of the temperature display, defrost heater, damper, and interior fans. This mode can aid the
service technician in quickly identifying failed or improper operation of certain components and systems.
Control diagnostics using the display does not use error codes to identify problems. Instead, the temperature
display allows access to components or systems to be checked if a problem is detected.
The temperature display must be in an active mode before entering the self-diagnosis test. If the display is
blank, press any temperature button once, then release it. The display will show actual temperatures.
Enter the diagnostic mode by pressing both the freezer temperature (COLDER and WARMER) pads and
the refrigerator temperature (COLDER and WARMER) pads simultaneously. All four pads must be held for
approximately 3 seconds. Blinking "00"s in both the freezer and refrigerator sections of the display indicate
the refrigerator has entered the test mode. Remove fi ngers within 5 seconds and press any pad to lock-in
the test mode. The blinking "00"s will change over to solid (non-blinking) "0"s when the test mode is locked-
in. Failure to lock-in the test mode within 30 seconds will time out the test and return the refrigerator to the
normal cooling mode.

Comments
When activated, a tone will sound briefl y and the display
will fl ash 1 time. The cooling system stops operation. All
HMI functions will operate normally.
Temperature to main controls communications test. A
coded software version is displayed. Dispenser model
will show two numbers. See Note 1. Internal display
model will test for Pass/Fail. Should show "P". If the
format is violated, the display will read "99".
Temperature to dispenser communications test. A coded
software version is displayed. Dispenser model will show
two numbers. See Note 1. Internal display model will
show "F" (no dispenser board). If the format is violated,
the display will read "99".
Dispenser to main controls communications test.
Dispenser model will test for Pass/Fail. Should show "P".
Internal display will show "F" (no dispenser board).
Illuminates all LEDs and numerical segments. FF and FZ
displays will initially display "88". Pressing temperature
pads will change initial display. Remaining pads pressed
will toggle the LED associated with that pad. Filter pad
repeatedly pressed will toggle red, green, and amber
LEDs. To exit HMI Self Test, press and hold both FF
temperature pads simultaneously for 3 seconds, then
release. (Exits test mode)
Checks each thermistor in order and displays "P" for
pass, "0" for open circuit, or "S" for shorted circuit. See
Note 2.
