Introduction

This new Arctica dual evaporator refrigerator has the following features:

• Separate freezer and fresh food evaporators with independent cooling.

• No damper/air inlet assembly in the fresh food section creates more usuable space on the top shelf.

• Greater fresh food humidity to keep food
fresher, longer.

• 20% less freezer defrost for better food
preservation.

• 3-Way valve to direct refrigerant fl ow.

• Nearly silent, only 30 dBA.

The 3-speed compressor is controlled by
an inverter that receives input from the
low voltage DC side of the main control
board. The inverter always has 120 VAC
applied when the refrigerator is connected
to power. The main control board still makes
compressor decisions based on the input of
thermistors, door-open time, and input from
the temperature control panel. The main
control board also operates the condenser
fan, fresh food fan, freezer fan and adaptive
defrost.

The most signifi cant difference from previous
models is that the freezer and fresh food
evaporators are separate. The 3-way valve
directs refrigerant fl ow to each evaporator as needed. The fresh food section no longer relies on the
freezer evaporator for cooling. The evaporators are controlled separately by the main control board
through the 3-way valve.

About TurboCool.

™

How it Works

TurboCool rapidly cools the refrigerator

compartment in order to more quickly
cool foods. Use TurboCool when adding a
large amount of food to the refrigerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature
or when putting away warm leftovers. It can
also be used if the refrigerator has been
without power for an extended period.

Once activated, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the fans will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed for eight hours.
The compressor will continue to run until
the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. After 8
hours, or if TurboCool is pressed again, the
refrigerator compartment will return to
the original setting.

How to Use

Press TurboCool. The refrigerator
temperature display will show TC.

After TurboCool is complete, the
refrigerator compartment will return
to the original setting.

NOTES: The refrigerator temperature

cannot be changed during
TurboCool.

The freezer temperature is not
affected during TurboCool.

When opening the refrigerator
door during TurboCool, the fans
will continue to run if they have
cycled on.

About the ice and water dispenser. (on some models)

To Use the Dispenser

Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
or WATER .

Press the glass gently against the top of
the dispenser cradle.

The spill shelf is not self-draining.
To reduce water spotting, the shelf and
its grille should be cleaned regularly.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water
line and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the first
six glassfuls of water.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Locking the Dispenser

Press the LOCK CONTROL
pad for 3 seconds to
lock the dispenser and
control panel. To
unlock, press and
hold the pad again
for 3 seconds.

Dispenser Light

This pad turns the night
light in the dispenser

on and off. The light
also comes on when
the dispenser cradle is
pressed. If this light
burns out, it should be
replaced with a 6 watt
12V maximum bulb.

Quick Ice

Dispenser Light

The LIGHT pad turns the dispenser light on and
off. When the light is turned off, it will fade out.
The dispenser light will come on automatically
when the dispenser cradle is depressed and will
fade out 5 seconds after it is released. The LIGHT
pad will not turn off the light during dispensing.

Dispensing Functions

The water, crushed ice, and cubed ice functions
are controlled by the main control board. To
select a function, press the appropriate pad on
the dispenser. The LED will light to identify the
selection.

To dispense ice cubes or crushed ice, choose
the appropriate pad and depress the dispenser
cradle. The solenoid and linkage assembly will
open the ice chute duct door to dispense the
ice. If cubed ice is selected, a solenoid located
behind the ice bucket will lift a rod along the side
of the bucket. This rod pulls a fl apper away from
the cutter blades, allowing cubes to bypass the
ice crusher. The dispenser duct door will remain
open for 3 seconds after dispensing to allow all
ice to clear the chute.

The dispenser light will come on automatically
when the dispenser cradle is depressed and will
fade out 5 seconds after it is released.

Dispenser Lock

When the dispenser system is locked, no
dispenser command will be accepted. This
includes the dispenser cradle and will prevent
accidental dispensing that may be caused
by children or pets. If a pad or the cradle is
depressed with the system locked, it will be
acknowledged with three pulses of the LOCK
LED accompanied by an audible tone.

To lock or unlock communication between the
dispenser and main control board, press the
LOCK pad and hold it for 3 seconds. The LOCK
LED will fl ash while the LOCK pad is pressed.
When the communication is locked, the LOCK
LED will be illuminated.

The status of other functions selected prior to the
initiation of the lock feature will be displayed. If
the lock is engaged while a mode is active, the
LED will remain on until that mode times out.

If the lock is engaged when the fi lter timer
expires, the LED will come on but cannot be reset
until the lock is turned off.

The lock feature will be restored in the event of a
power disruption.

Liner Protection Mode

The dual evaporator model has separate liner
protection modes for each section. The specifi c
evaporator fan (freezer or fresh food) will start
and run on high speed if the door has been open
for 3 minutes.

This mode is controlled by 2 timers. Timer #1
monitors door-open time. A 3-minute door-open
count begins when the door is opened. If 3
minutes elapse before the door is closed, the liner
protection mode will become active. Once the
door is closed, timer #1 resets and liner protection
mode goes into standby. In standby, normal
fan operation resumes and timer #2 begins a
3-minute door-closed count. If 3 minutes elapse
without a door opening, liner protection mode will
completely deactivate. If a door is opened within
the timer #2 door-closed count, the remaining
time in the door-closed count will be deducted
from the timer #1 door-open count.

Evacuation and Charging Procedure

WARNING:

• Before cutting or using a torch on
refrigerant tubes, recover the refrigerant
from the system using approved recovery
equipment.

4. Open the ball valve. Recover the purge/
sweep charge using the recovery pump and
the refrigerator compressor until a 20-in.
vacuum is attained. Close the ball valve and
remove the recovery hose.

5. Charge the system with the exact amount of
R-134a refrigerant specifi ed.

• Never charge new refrigerant through the
purge valve. This valve is always located
on the high pressure side of the system.

• Never apply heat from any source to a
container of refrigerant. Such action will
cause excessive pressure in the container.

• Always wear goggles when working with
refrigerants and nitrogen holding charge
in some replacement parts. Contact with
these gases may cause injury.

1. Attach the hose from the R-134a charging
cylinder to the process tube port on the
compressor.

2. Evacuate the system to a minimum 20-in.
vacuum using the refrigerator compressor and
recovery pump, which is attached to the new
drier assembly.

3. Turn off the recovery pump. Close the ball
valve on the hose connected to the high-side
port connection. Add 3 ounces of R-134a
refrigerant to the system. Let the refrigerator
operate and circulate the refrigerant for 5
minutes.

6. Disconnect the power cord to the refrigerator.
This allows the pressure to equalize. After
3 to 5 minutes, the low side pressure will be
positive and then the hose-to-charging port
can be disconnected.

7. Using an electronic leak detector, check
all brazed joints and both schrader ports.
Reinstall caps to schrader.

Fresh Food Evaporator Thermistor

The fresh food evaporator thermistor (part #
WR55X10025) is located in an aluminum thermal
block on the back of the evaporator. It is attached
to the fresh food evaporator by a wire tie. See

Fresh Food Evaporator for accessing instructions.

If the fresh food evaporator thermistor is either
open or shorted, the main control board defaults
to a fi xed defrost cycle of 1 hour at high speed
fan.

Thermal Block

Thermistor

Insert the new thermistor into the thermal block.
Add RTV102 silicone to hold the thermistor in
place. Make certain to wire tie the thermal block
back to the evaporator.

Fresh Food Evaporator Fan

A variable speed
12 VDC motor
is mounted in
front of the fresh
food evaporator.
The fan and
evaporator cover
are replaced
as a complete
assembly.

Barbs on the molded housing hold the thermistor
in the thermal block.

Barbs

Replacement

Should the evaporator thermistor require
replacement, splice a new thermistor into the
harness using plastic bell connectors (part #
WR01X10466). Fill the connector with RTV102
silicone as shown in the illustration.

When activated, the fresh food evaporator fan
recirculates the air in the fresh food compartment,
providing cooling independent of the freezer
evaporator fan.

The main control board gathers information from
the fresh food thermistors to determine when, and
at what speed, fan operation should occur.

A constant 13.6 VDC is provided to the fan from
the main control board and switching occurs on
the neutral side.

Speed is regulated by pulse width modulation on
the common side of the fan. When operating, the
common side of the circuit is pulsed open and
closed. This pulsing produces effective voltage
being received at the motor, which is equivalent to
a reduction in voltage. Fan speed is selected and
maintained by the main control board regulating
the length and frequency of the 13.6 VDC pulse.

The evaporator fan is the same fan used on
previous models; however, a signifi cant difference
is that the main control board neither requires
nor receives input from the fan feedback/rpm
(blue) wire. The fan utilizes a permanent magnet,
4 pole, DC motor that operates at three different
speeds: high, medium, and low.

The speed of the fan is controlled by the voltage
output from the main control board. Voltage
output from the main control board to the fan
is 13.6 VDC; however, to regulate the speed of
the fan, the main control board uses pulse width
modulation (PWM).

When operating, voltage is sent in pulses (much
like a duty cycle) as opposed to an uninterrupted
fl ow. This pulsing of 13.6 VDC produces effective
voltage being received at the motor, which is
equivalent to a reduction in voltage.

frequency of the 13.6 VDC pulse. Temperature
can cause some fan speed variation. Fan speed
can vary +/- 5%, depending on the temperature,
with higher temperatures causing slightly higher
speeds.

The evaporator fan has a 4-wire connection:

White Wire (DC Common)

The white wire is the DC common wire used
for testing. During repairs, DC polarity must be
observed. Reversing the DC polarity causes a
shorted motor and/or board.

Red Wire (Supply)

Each motor uses an internal electronic controller
to operate the motor. Supply voltage from
the main control board remains at a constant

13.6 VDC.

Blue Wire (Feedback/RPM)

On previous Arctica models, the blue wire
reported rpm (speed) information to the main
control board for speed control purposes. On this
model, the board does not require or read any
feedback information from the fan motor.

Yellow Wire (Signal)

The yellow wire is the input wire from the main
control board. The main control board provides

6.5 VDC effective voltage for low speed, 8 VDC
effective voltage for medium speed, and 9.5 VDC
effective voltage for high speed. The fan operates
in low speed only when the fresh food thermistor
is satisfi ed.

Note: When testing these motors:

• You cannot test with an ohmmeter.

• DC common is not AC common.

• Verify 2 voltage potentials:

a. Red to white - power for internal controller

b. Yellow to white - power for fan

• Observe circuit polarity.

• Motors can be run for short periods using a
9 volt battery. Connect the white wire to the
negative (-) battery terminal only. Connect
the red and yellow wires to the positive (+)
battery terminal.

Condenser Fan

The fan is mounted in the machine compartment
with the no-clean condenser. The fan and
fan shroud are mounted on one end of the
condenser, and the other end of the condenser is
blocked.

When the fan is operating, air is pulled from
the center of the condenser, drawing air in
through the coils. The air is then exhausted over
the compressor and out the right side of the
refrigerator.

Inlet air is available through the left front
and left rear of the machine compartment. A
rubber divider strip underneath the refrigerator
divides the inlet and outlet sides of the machine
compartment.

The rear access cover must be tightly fi tted to
prevent air from being exhausted directly out of
the rear of the machine compartment, bypassing
the compressor.

The condenser fan is mounted with screws to a
fan shroud and mounting bracket that is attached
to the condenser.

Condenser fan speed corresponds with
compressor speed (low, medium, high) to
minimize pressure variations in the sealed
system except when the freezer temperature is
20°F above the set point. If this condition exists
(such as during initial startup), the condenser
fan operates at super high speed while the
compressor operates at medium speed.

The speed of the fan is controlled by the voltage
output from the main control board. Voltage
output from the control board to the fan is

13.6 VDC; however, to regulate the speed of
the fan, the main control board uses pulse width
modulation (PWM).

When operating, voltage is sent in pulses (much
like a duty cycle) as opposed to an uninterrupted
fl ow. This pulsing of 13.6 VDC produces effective
voltage being received at the motor, which is
equivalent to a reduction in voltage.

Fan speed is selected and maintained by the
main control board regulating the length and
frequency of the 13.6 VDC pulse.

Temperature can cause some fan speed
variation. Fan speed can vary +/- 5%, depending
on the temperature, with higher temperatures
causing slightly higher speeds.

Defrost Cycles

Fresh Food Evaporator Defrost Cycle

The refrigerator utilizes a forced air cycle defrost
method (no electric heater) to remove frost from
the fresh food evaporator. Fresh food air that is
above freezing temperature circulates thru the
coil and melts any accumulated frost. Note that
during fresh food defrost, the compressor may
still be running, cooling only the freezer section.

If both freezer and fresh food thermistors are
satisfi ed, the compressor cycles off. If the freezer
still requires cooling, the main control board
rotates the 3-way valve to stop refrigerant fl ow to
the fresh food evaporator. Even though refrigerant
fl ow has stopped in the fresh food evaporator, the
fresh food fan continues to run at low speed.

The system is designed to run the fan until the
fresh food evaporator thermistor reaches 35°F.

Once this temperature is reached, the fan
continues to run for an additional 5 minutes.
Under normal conditions, the defrost time takes
approximately 30 minutes. The maximum time
the fan runs in low speed is 60 minutes. If the
evaporator thermistor has not reached 35°F after
60 minutes, the control switches to extended
defrost #1.

– 22

Fresh Food Extended Defrost #1

Fresh Food Forced Defrost

Occasionally there may be excessive frost
on the evaporator coil. This can be attributed
to numerous door openings, extremely high
humidity, poor door gasket seal, etc. If the normal
defrost fan time exceeds 60 minutes, the fan
switches to high speed. The control continues to
monitor the fresh food evaporator thermistor for
35°F. When 35°F is reached, the fan runs for an
additional 5 minutes at high speed. The fan can
run up to an additional 30 minutes at high speed,
trying to reach 35°F. After 90 total minutes of fan
time (60 at low speed and 30 at high speed), if
the fresh food evaporator is still below 35°F, the
control will switch to extended defrost #2.

Fresh Food Extended Defrost #2

If the fresh food fan has been operating for 90
minutes, the main control searches for a fresh
food thermistor temperature above 52°F. If the
fresh food thermistor is above 52°F, the main
control board assumes there is a problem reading
the fresh food evaporator thermistor, ends the
defrost cycle and returns to normal cooling.

If the fresh food thermistor is less than 52°F, the
main control board assumes there is refrigerant
leaking through the 3-way valve, keeping the
fresh food evaporator cold during the defrost
process while the freezer evaporator is cooling.
The main control board shuts off the compressor
and runs the fresh food fan at high speed until
two conditions are met: the evaporator thermistor
reaches 35°F and the fresh food thermistor is
2½F° above the set point. As in the other cycles,
the fan continues to run for an additional 5
minutes after the 35°F evaporator temperature is
reached.

If the main control board senses the fresh food
section has been cooling for 45 minutes, it
immediately stops the refrigerant fl ow through
the fresh food evaporator. The main control
board changes the position of the 3-way valve
if cooling is still required in the freezer, or turns
the compressor off if the freezer is satisfi ed. The
fresh food fan operates on high speed until the
evaporator reaches 35°F, plus an additional 5
minutes after the evaporator reaches 35°F.

To prevent the refrigerator from going into forced
defrost when fi rst installed or after a power failure,
the control will disregard the 45 minute time limit
if the freezer temperature is above 20°F.

Note: If the fresh food evaporator thermistor is
either open or shorted and the 35°F cutoff cannot
be determined, the main control board defaults to
a fi xed defrost cycle of 1 hour at high-speed fan.

Freezer Defrost Cycle

The freezer evaporator utilizes a defrost heater
to remove frost from the coil. The control board
determines the length of time the heater is
energized. It does this by monitoring the freezer
evaporator thermistor. Once the temperature
of the thermistor reaches 75°F, the control
cycles the defrost heater off. A bi-metal safety
thermostat provides a backup in the event the
evaporator thermistor fails. The safety thermostat
prevents the temperature from exceeding 140°F.

Note: During the freezer defrost cycle, the
compressor does not operate, even if the fresh
food section is above the set point.

Inverter

•

The inverter is accessed from the back of the
refrigerator.

•

It is located on the left side of the compressor
behind the water valve.

• The water valve must be removed to access
the inverter.

Note: Certain voltmeters will not be able to read

voltage output from the inverter. If no voltage
or erratic voltage is measured, it does not
necessarily indicate a faulty inverter.

The inverter receives 120 VAC line-in from the
power supply. The inverter converts this single­phase, 60 Hz, 120 VAC into 3-phase, 230 VAC,
with frequency variations between 57 Hz and 104
Hz. This voltage is delivered to the compressor
through 3 lead wires. Each wire will carry identical
voltage and frequency.

Note: The compressor leads must be connected
to measure voltage output. If the compressor
wires are not connected, or if an open occurs in
one of the 3 lead wires or in the compressor, the
inverter will stop voltage output.

– 24

When checking inverter voltage output, connect
the test-meter leads to any 2 of the 3 compressor
lead wires at the inverter plug (plug should
be connected). The same reading should be
measured between any 2 of the 3 wires.

The inverter controls compressor speed
by frequency variation and by Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM). Changing frequency and
PWM will cause an effective voltage between 80
and 230 VAC to be received at the compressor.

• Low speed (1710 rpm) - 57 Hz

• Medium speed (2100 rpm) - 70 Hz

• High speed (3120 rpm) - 104 Hz

The inverter receives commands from the main
control board. The main control board will send
a PWM run signal from the J15 connector of
between 4-6 VDC effective voltage to the inverter
(all wires must be connected). The inverter will
select compressor speed (voltage output) based
on this signal.

The main control board will only send a run signal
to the inverter when the compressor should be
on.

Note: When measuring signal voltage (from the
main control board) at the inverter, a reading
of 4-6 VDC will be measured with all wires
connected. If the inverter wiring is disconnected,
the board output will measure between 10-12
VDC.

The inverter will monitor compressor operation
and if the compressor fails to start or excessive
current draw (4 amps maximum) is detected,
the inverter will briefl y stop voltage output.
The inverter will then make 12 consecutive
compressor start attempts (once every 12
seconds). After 12 attempts, if the compressor
has not started, an 8-minute count will initiate.
After the 8-minute count, the inverter will attempt
to start the compressor again. If the compressor
starts, normal operation will resume. If the
compressor fails to start, this process will be
repeated. Removing power to the unit will reset
the inverter count. When power is restored, the
inverter will attempt to start the compressor within
8 seconds.

The inverter has a built-in circuit protection to
guard against damage from a failed or shorted
compressor. However, if a failed compressor is
diagnosed, order a new compressor and inverter.
If the compressor fails to start after replacement,
replace the inverter.

– 25 –

Inverter Compressor

Caution: Do not attempt to direct-start the

compressor. The compressor operates on a
3-phase power supply. Applying 120 VAC to the
compressor will permanently damage the unit. It
is not possible to start the compressor without an
inverter.

The compressor is a reciprocating, variable
speed, 4-pole type. It operates on 3-phase, 80 to
230 VAC within a range of 57 to 104 Hz.

Note: Certain voltmeters will not be able to read
voltage output or frequency from the inverter.

Compressor wattages at various speeds are:

• LOW - 65 watts

• MED - 100 watts

• HIGH - 150 watts

The compressor is controlled by the inverter,
which receives its signal from the main control
board. Varying the frequency to the inverter
changes the compressor speed.

• 3°F to 5°F above refrigerator set point ­medium speed.

• 5.5°F to°7 F above refrigerator set point - high
speed.

Note: The compressor will run at medium speed
if the freezer temperature is 20°F or more above
the setpoint.

The use of 3-phase power eliminates the need
for the PTCR relay, capacitor, and individual
start and run windings; therefore, the start,
run and common pins found on conventional
compressors are not applicable on this 3-phase
model. Compressor pin functions are identical
and compressor lead wire confi guration is of no
importance. A resistance of 9Ω to 11Ω should be
read between any 2 of the 3 pins. Should an open
occur in the compressor winding or should one
of the compressor lead wires become open or
disconnected, the inverter will stop voltage output
to the compressor.

High compressor torque enables the compressor
to start against high pressure in the sealed
system. When power has been disconnected
from an operating unit, the high torque will enable
the compressor to start immediately upon power
restoration.

Compressor speed is based on the temperature
set point in conjunction with the specifi c cabinet
temperature. Speeds are selected according to
the following cabinet temperatures, with freezer
temperature being the primary:

• 7°F to 19.5°F above freezer set point = high
speed.

• 4.5°F to 6.5°F above freezer set point =
medium speed.

• 1°F to 4°F above freezer set point = low
speed.

• 1°F to 2.5°F above refrigerator set point = low
speed.

Compressor and sealed system operation is
extremely smooth and cool. The compressor
exterior may be room temperature while
operating; therefore, a running unit may be
diffi cult to detect.

RED

To verify that the compressor is running:

Disconnect power from the unit and place a hand
on the compressor. Reconnect power and feel for
a vibration when the compressor tries to start. It
may take up to 8 seconds before the compressor
attempts to start.

Note:

When ordering a replacement compressor,

•
order both the compressor and inverter.
Replace the compressor fi rst. If, after
compressor installation, the compressor fails
to start, replace the inverter.

When servicing the compressor, it is important

•
to dress the wiring to keep low voltage DC
wiring and 120 VAC wiring separate.

3-Way Valve

The 3-way valve is located beneath the main
control board in the machine compartment and
is accessed from the back of the refrigerator. It is
composed of a magnetic coil and a valve body.

3-Way Valve Coil

The 3-way valve coil receives 12 VDC pulses
from the main board to change the position of the
valve. The pulses come too quickly to measure
with a volt meter.

The 3-way valve coil has a resistance value of
approximately 46 ohms that can be measured
between the coil pins.

Testing the 3-Way Valve

The valve returns to “home” at the end of
every freezer defrost cycle and whenever the
refrigerator is reconnected to power.

To test the valve, disconnect the refrigerator from
power for at least 10 seconds, place a fi nger on
top of the valve and reconnect power.

Replacing the 3-Way Valve

Parts Needed:

•

The main control overdrives the valve to the
“home” position.

You should be able to feel the valve move as it
returns to the home position .

If movement is present, the main board and valve
coil are operating correctly.

When replacing a 3-way valve, note the black
mark on the freezer outlet tube. Make certain to
mark the freezer capillary by placing a piece of
tape on the capillary, 6-8 inches from the valve.

Check Valve

Check Valve

A nylon piston inside the check valve fl oats

•
back and forth, depending upon refrigerant
fl ow.

The check valve prevents refrigerant from

•
fl owing back into the freezer evaporator.

9. Replace all component parts in both the
freezer and the fresh food compartments.

10. Reinstall the rear access cover.

Accumulator

The accumulator collects any liquid refrigerant

•
left in the evaporator before it enters the
suction line.

The liquid refrigerant pools in the bottom

•
of the accumulator until it is drawn into the
compressor as a vapor.

The accumulator comes as a part of the

•
freezer evaporator. It is not available
separately.

When the main control rotates the 3-way

•
valve for fresh food only cooling, the check
valve will prevent refrigerant from fl owing
in the freezer evaporator (refrigerant will
naturally fl ow to the coldest area).

The check valve is only available with a new

•
freezer evaporator.

Caution: Do not attempt to replace only the
check valve. The nylon piston in the check valve
is extremely heat sensitive.
