Door Closure Mechanism
Doors and Hinges
The door closure mechanism uses a spring to provide positive door closure from approximately 60 degrees. The door closure mechanism actuator arm has a spring attached to the rear and is supported by guide rollers on either side of the base channel. The roller circumferences and the actuator arm detents are matched for smooth operation. The arm is attached to the door with an Allen head shoulder bolt.
The closure mechanism allows easy opening to approximately 90 degrees, where the arm has a detent to permit the door to remain open at 90 degrees with minimal tension. Once the door is opened beyond 90 degrees, the closure mechanism pulls the door open until the closure arm engages the door stop at approximately 130 degrees (factory setting, the door stop can be field set to 90 degrees). The reverse action occurs when the door is closed.
Note: The actuator arm is spring loaded with moderate spring tension.
1. Disconnect the spring from the pin and the actuator arm.
2. Remove the 3/16-in. Allen head bolt, bushing, and spacer from the door and actuator arm.

Evaporator Fan Adjustment
The position of the fan blade in relation to the shroud is critical. Refer to evaporator fan adjustment graphic for specifications.
If the fan shorts, it may damage the main control board. If the resistor on the main control board is burnt, you must replace the fan and the board (see photo).
The evaporator fan utilizes a permanent magnet, 4-pole, DC motor that can operate at three different speeds: high, medium, and low (medium and low are the same speed, controlled by the main control board). The speed of the fan is controlled by the voltage output from the main control board. V oltage output from the control board to the fan is 12.6 VDC; however, in order to regulate the speed of the fan, the control board uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) during low-

speed and medium-speed operation. When operating in low and medium speeds, voltage is sent in pulses (much like a duty cycle) as opposed to an uninterrupted flow. This pulsing of 12.6 VDC produces effective voltage being received at the motor , which is the equivalent to a reduction in voltage. Fan speed will be selected and maintained by the control board regulating the length and frequency of the 12.6 VDC pulse.
One complete revolution of the motor is comprised of all 4 poles. To determine the rpm of the fan: Measure the frequency being applied to the motor . Multiply this number by 15 (60 seconds divided by 4 poles). For example, a frequency measurement of 200 Hz multiplied by 15 would show a fan speed of 3000 rpm (15 x 200 = 3000). Temperature may cause some fan speed variation. Fan speed may vary +/- 5%, depending on the temperature, with higher temperatures causing slightly higher speeds.
The evaporator fan motor uses a 4-wire connection, utilizing a common wire (white), feedback/rpm wire (blue), supply wire (red), and a signal wire (yellow).

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 will cause a shorted motor and/or board.
Red Wire (Supply) Each motor uses an internal electronic controller
to operate the motor. Supply volt age from the main control board remains at a constant 12 VDC.
Blue Wire (Feedback/RPM) The blue wire feeds rpm (speed) information to
the main control board, allowing the board to maintain consistent fan speeds. Loss of feedback from the blue wire will result in the fan accelerating to maximum speed. Measure the fan rpm using the frequency between the blue and white wires.
High speed - 195 to 200 Hz Medium speed - 145 to 160 Hz
Note: Fan operates at the same speed in low and
medium. Low speed - 145 to 160 Hz (same as medium)
Yellow Wire (Signal) The yellow wire is the input wire from the main
control board. The main control board provides
8.1 VDC effective voltage for low speed, 8.1 VDC effective voltage for medium speed, and 12.6 VDC for high speed. The fan will operate in low speed only when the fresh food thermistor is satisfied.

Condenser Fan
The condenser fan utilizes a DC motor that operates at a single speed and is mounted in the machine compartment. When the fan is operating, air is pulled through the condenser , drawing air through the coils. The air is then exhausted past the compressor and out the front of the refrigerator on the right side.

Defrost System
Adaptive Defrost
Adaptive Defrost can be described as a defrost system that adapts to a refrigerators surrounding environment and household usage.
Unlike conventional defrost systems that use electromechanical timers with a fixed defrost cycle time, Adaptive Defrost utilizes an intelligent, electronic control to determine when the defrost cycle is necessary. In order to accomplish the correct defrost cycle time, the main control board monitors the following refrigerator operations:
Length of time the refrigerator doors were open
since the last defrost cycle
Length of time the compressor has run since the last defrost cycle
Amount of time the defrost heaters were on in the last defrost cycle
Adaptive Defrost is divided into 4 separate cycles. Those operations are:
Cooling Operation
Pre-Chill Operation
Defrost Heater Operation
Dwell Period
(See Pub. #31-9062 for more information on Adaptive Defrost.)
Adaptive Defrost (Cooling Operation) During the cooling operation, the main control
board monitors door opening (fresh food door and freezer drawer) and compressor run times. The board counts the time the doors are open. It reduces the length of time between defrosts by 300 seconds (multiplication factor) for each second that each door is open (if both doors are open, it reduces it by twice the amount). The multiplication factor reduces compressor run time. If the doors are not opened, the compressor will run up to 60 hours between defrosts. If the doors
are opened frequently and/or for long periods of time, the compressor run time between defrosts will be reduced to as little as 8 hours.
Adaptive Defrost (Pre-Chill Operation) When the main control board determines that
defrost is necessary, it will force the refrigerator into a continuous cool mode (pre-chill). During pre­chill, the freezer temperature may be driven below the set point. However, the fresh food temperature will be regulated by the evaporator fan running at low speed. Pre-chill will last for 30 minutes. These models do have an 8-hour defrost holdoff.
Adaptive Defrost (Defrost Heater Operation) After 30 minutes of pre-chill operation, the main
control board turns off the compressor, condenser fan, and evaporator fan.
During defrost operation, the main control board monitors the evaporator temperature using evaporator thermistor inputs. T ypically, the evaporator thermistor will sense a temperature of 38 °F within 16 minutes. When the thermistor senses 38 °F, the main control board will terminate defrost heater operation. Maximum defrost cycle (heater on) time is 35 minutes (main control board time out).
The defrost system is protected by a defrost overtemperature thermodisc (bimetal switch). The thermostat opens when the evaporator temperature raises to 60 °F and closes when the evaporator temperature lowers to 45 °F.
Adaptive Defrost (Dwell Period) After defrost heater operation has been terminated
by the main control board, a 20-minute dwell period occurs. During this period, the compressor, condenser fan, and evaporator fan remain off. The remaining frost melting from the evaporator will continue to drip and drain so that, prior to the cooling operation, the evaporator will be totally clear of any moisture. The pan heater is on for the entire 20 minute dwell period.
– 20 –
Normal Operating Characteristics
Evaporator fan running, without compressor or
condenser fan.
Liner Protection Mode, fan comes on when the doors are open for 3 minutes.
Different sound levels can be heard when the fan changes speed; however, the fan should never be heard oscillating between speeds.
Response time for drastic temperature change is 2 to 10 minutes. The main control board will only respond to 8 °F of temperature change per minute as determined by resistance of sensor.
Abnormal Operating Characteristics (Incorrect Operation)
Rapid fan speed changes, fan takes at least 1 minute to change speeds.
Compressor running without the condenser fan. The compressor and condenser fan should always run at the same time.
Liner Protection Mode
The liner protection mode will activate if either of the doors has been open for 3 minutes. This mode will start the evaporator fan on high speed.
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 and damper operations resume 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.

Evaporator Thermistor
The evaporator thermistor is mounted on the upper left side of the evaporator. The defrost cycle will terminate when the main control board detects 38 °F from the evaporator thermistor. The main control board must sense 38 °F in less than 35 minutes, or the defrost cycle will time out. Average time to defrost is less than 16 minutes. Defrost time should not exceed 35 minutes. Defrost time does not include dwell period.
Defrost Overtemperature Thermodisc
The defrost overtemperature thermodisc (bimetal switch) is mounted on the evaporator and provides overtemperature protection during defrost. This thermostat will open at 60 °F and will close at 45 °F.
Evaporator Thermistor
Note: The main control board will not know if the
heater does not come on due to a broken heater , open defrost overtemperature thermodisc, or open wiring harness. The defrost heater is controlled by maximum time on the main control board or temperature at the evaporator thermistor .

Touch Panel and Temperature Control Board
The temperature control assembly is located at the top front of the fresh food compartment and contains the touch panel and temperature control board.
The temperature control board receives switched DC voltage from the main control board. Input consists of pins 2 to 3. Failure of input results in default to most recent setting. Pin 1 provides digital communication between the temperature control board and the main control board. Failure of communication results in erratic control.
To remove the temperature control assembly:
1. Remove the light cover .
2. Remove 4 Phillips screws and the light assembly.

Climate Control Drawer
The Climate Control Drawer can chill or thaw items quickly. It can also store items at their optimum temperatures. This Climate Control Drawer contains the following components:
Control Board
Thermistor
Dampers (2)
Fan
Heater
The main control board controls the dampers, fan, and heater based on input from the Climate Control Drawers control board and the thermistor.
The Climate Control Drawer compartment is sealed to reduce the effect that the drawer temperature has on the rest of the refrigerator. When the drawer features are not being used, the temperature inside the drawer will be the same as the fresh food compartment.

Operation
During all modes of operation, the main control board will cycle the dampers, fan, and heater as necessary to maintain the desired temperature. Typical operation is as follows:
Select Temp This feature maintains optimum temperatures for specific items. The CITRUS setting will maintain a drawer temperature of 43 °F by circulating warmed air or cooled
air as needed. The dampers will close and the heater will turn on if warmed air is required to maintain 43 °F. The dampers will open if cooled air is required.
The PRODUCE setting will maintain a drawer temperature of 34 °F by circulating warmed air or cooled air as needed. The dampers will close and the heater will turn on if warmed air is required to maintain 34 °F. The dampers will open if cooled air is required.
The MEA T setting will maintain a drawer temperature of 32 °F by circulating warmed air or cooled air as needed. The dampers will close and the heater will turn on if warmed air is required to maintain 32 °F. The dampers will open if cooled air is required.
The Climate Control drawer display will show the selected temperature for approximately 4 seconds after a Select Temp mode has been selected. After approximately 4 seconds, the actual temperature of the drawer will be displayed. Refer to the Temperature Table for drawer temperatures.
Express Chill This feature cools items by opening the dampers and circulating air from the freezer compartment
throughout the drawer . The fan will be on at all times during Express Chill. The Climate Control Drawer display will show the number of minutes (or minutes remaining) for the
Express Chill mode selected on the control panel. The display will not show the temperature of the drawer . Refer to the Temperature Table for drawer temperatures.
Express Thaw This feature thaws items by circulating warmed air throughout the drawer. Temperature is maintained in
the drawer by cycling a small heater on and off as needed. The dampers will be closed during Express Thaw . The fan will be on at all times during Express Thaw .
When the Express Thaw cycle is complete, the drawer will automatically adjust to 30 °F. The Climate Control Drawer display will show the number of hours (or hours remaining) for the Express
Thaw mode selected on the control panel (.5 LBS = 4 HRS, 1.5 LBS = 8 HRS, 3 LBS = 12 HRS). The display will not show the temperature of the drawer. Refer to the Temperature Table for drawer temperatures.
– 34 –
Temperature Table
When using the Temperature Table, please note the following:
FF and FZ compartments should be within 3 °F of the temperature set point when checking drawer temperature.
All temperatures listed are as measured by the thermistor and displayed by the Climate Control Drawer display.
Actual drawer temperature will be displayed in Select Temp mode only . The Climate Control Drawer display will show the selected temperature for approximately 4 seconds after a Select Temp mode has been selected. Af ter approximately 4 seconds, the actual temperature of the drawer will be displayed.
The actual-temperature display is based on the temperature that the main control board sees from the thermistor. The selected-temperature (example: CITRUS – 43 °F) is based on the logic of the Climate Control Drawer control board. If the actual temperature that is displayed is incorrect, the thermistor and main control board are suspect. If the temperature associated with the Select Temp mode is incorrect, the Climate Control Drawer control board is faulty.

Refrigeration System
The major components of the refrigeration system are a reciprocating-type compressor, condenser, condenser loop, dryer, and evaporator. These components, except for the condenser loop, are all replaceable separately .
Compressor
The compressor is a reciprocating type. Refer to the mini-manual for the BTU/hour rating and the compressor capacity test specification. A copper process tube is provided for access to the low-pressure side of the refrigeration system.
Note: The woodpecker clip holds the capillary tube in thermal contact with the compressor discharge tube. If the capillary tube is not clipped to the discharge tube, a knocking noise may occur during compressor operation.
Refer to the compressor replacement instructions included with the replacement compressor.
Condenser
The condenser is located behind the grille panel at the top of the refrigerator and is made of copper tubing. The outlet of the condenser is connected to a copper jumper tube that is connected to the inlet of the condenser loop. In a normal home environment, there is no need for routine condenser cleaning. However , in environment s that may be particularly dusty or greasy, the condenser should be cleaned periodically for efficient refrigeration operation. An ordinary appliance brush should be all that is needed. Functionally, the condenser does the same job as previous models. Air is drawn through the condenser by the condenser fan from the front left and rear left of the machine compartment. Air exits only from the right side of the machine compartment.
