4) Initial Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is ashing and LEDs 3 and 2 are on. Comp and
102-sec. WVT (WV continues another 52sec. in freeze cycle) continue. FM and PM
energize. HGV de-energizes. When 102-sec. WVT terminates, LED 3 turns off and
WVde-energizes. CBmonitors the cooling of the evaporator via the thermistor located
on the evaporator for freeze termination. When the thermistor drops to 27°F (-3°C),
CB reads 6.8 kΩ from the thermistor and starts 3-min. FT. 27°F (-3°C) or lower must
be maintained the entire 3min. If reading rises above 27°F (-3°C) before 3-min. FT
terminates, the 3-min. FTresets. When 27°F (-3°C) or lower is maintained for 3 min.,
5-min. FTT starts.
a) Comp Diagnosis: If Comp de-energizes, check PTC relay continuity. If open,
replace PTC. If closed, check Comp external protector and motor winding continuity.
Replace as needed. If Comp is energized but evaporator is not cooling, check for an
inefficient Comp. See "VIII.B. Performance Data."
b) FM and PM Diagnosis: If FM and PM do not energize, check for 115VAC at CB
B1(P) to neutral (W) and at CB A1 (DBU) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present at CB
B1(P) to neutral (W) and not at CB A1 (DBU) to neutral (W), replace CB.
If 115VAC is present at CB A1 (DBU) to neutral (W), check FM or PM motor winding
continuity, fan blade or PM impeller for binding, and PM capacitor.
c) HGV and WV Diagnosis: Conrm HGV and WV de-energize. If HGV is energized,
check for 115VAC at CB B1 (P) to neutral(W). If 115VAC is present after PM
energizes, replace CB. If 115VAC is not present and HGV is bypassing, replaceHGV.
If LED 3 does not turn off and WV does not de-energize 52 sec. after freeze cycle
starts, check for 115VAC at CB A2 (O) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present 52 sec. or
later after PM energizes, replace CB. If115VAC is not present and WV is leaking by,
replace WV.
d) Initial Freeze Cycle Termination Diagnosis: 5-min. FTT terminates, harvest cycle
starts. Ifnot, check evaporator temperature where thermistor is mounted and check
the thermistor. See "II.E. Thermistor Check." If evaporator temperature is below
27°F(-3°C) for more than 8min. and freeze does not terminate, replace CB.
5) Normal Harvest Cycle – LED 1 is ashing and LED 3 is on. Comp continues. HGV
and WV energize. FMand PM de-energize. 102-sec. WV timer starts. CB monitors
the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the evaporator. When the
thermistor reaches 47°F (7°C), CB reads 4.5 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest
termination over to the 50-sec. HT. WV is energized during harvest for a maximum of
102 sec. or the length of harvest, whichever is shorter.
Note: Appliance continues to cycle until BC is satised or power is turned off.
Theappliance always restarts at the initial harvest cycle.
a) Comp Diagnosis: Check that evaporator is warming. Ifnot, conrm Comp is
energized. If not, check for 115VAC at PTC and check PTC relay continuity. If open,
replace PTC. If closed, check Comp external protector and motor winding continuity.
Replace as needed.
