Circuit Breakers; Transformers; Light Bulb Replacement - GE ZIS360NM Technical Service Manual

Circuit Breakers

Two resettable circuit breakers are located on the
front of the transformer tray. Should a circuit
breaker trip (open), it will open the transformer
circuit it is associated with (freezer compartment
or fresh food compartment), disabling that
transformer and stopping voltage output to the
interior lights.

Transformers

Power is supplied to all interior lighting by 2
transformers. One transformer is used for each
compartment. The transformers supply low-
voltage power to the lights by converting 120 VAC
into 12 VAC.
The transformers are located in a tray under the
center of the refrigerator. The tray is accessible
from the front of the refrigerator. To access the
transformers, lift up on the front of the tray and pull
out.

Light Bulb Replacement

WARNING: Halogen lights generate intense heat.
Be certain power is off and lamps have sufficient
time to cool before attempting to replace.
Note: The Styrofoam protector in the light lens is
for shipping and must be removed prior to
installation.
Power to the lamps can be turned off at the
Sabbath switch, located behind the grille panel at
the top of the refrigerator.
Note: Turning the temperature control to the OFF
position does NOT remove power to the light
circuits.
The refrigerator uses 2 types of halogen bulbs:
Type 1
The columns along the back wall of the fresh food
and freezer compartments are lit up by lamps
located behind the top pan in the fresh food
compartment and the bottom basket in the freezer
compartment. Type 1 bulbs are 35-watt and have a
life expectancy of about 3500 hours.
Type 2
These lamps are located inside the light shield at
the top of the fresh food compartment and on top
of the Climate Control drawer at the bottom of the
fresh food compartment. Type 2 bulbs are 20-watt
and have a life expectancy of about 2000 hours.
