Loose normtingbolts If the handle installs properly (slides on andlocks/snaps into place) but is loose, remove thehandle and tighten the mounting bola. Use alomm socket and ratchet or wrench. Do not use ascrewdriver as it will not provide enough torquefor proper tightening. Reinstall handle accordingto Insrallation Instructions included wi& thehandle.

Freezer handle is installedbaclmtards.

Remove handle. Check for correct mountingbrackets on the handle. There is a right bracket(R) and a left bracket (L). The handle has theword 'RIGHT" printed in the bracket cavity. The"R'bracket should be installed in the bracketcavity marked "RIGI{T". The "L" bracket shouldbe insr^lled on the opposite side. Reinstall handleaccording to Installation Instructions.

Fresh Foodhandle is mormtedupsidedorrn or incorrectly relative to thecurve ofthe Fresh Food door.

Make certain that the arrow label on the handleis pointing at the center of the unit. To veri$, thehandle should look straight from a distance (notslanted to the side).

The evaporatorfan forces air through theevaporator into the fteezer compartment.

Air from the evaporator is also forced through theelectronic damper to the top of the air tunnel,through the fresh food compartment, and retumsto the evaporator.

The fresh food compartment receives chilled airthrough an electronic damper at the bottom, rearof the ftesh food compartment. The damper iscontrolled by the main control board. When open,the damper allows chilled air ftom the freezer tomove into the fresh food compartment.

Air retums from the ftesh food compartment to thefreezer compartment via two vents located to theleft and right of the airtunnel.

Thernristor

When replacing the thermistor, cut the thermistorwires and splice the new thermistor using bellconnectors as shown. Always use RTV102silicone sealant to seal the end of the connectorfrom moisture.

Note: The thermistor must be inside thethermistor cover but is not required to be insertedback into the insulation or inside the cabinet frame.

Evaporator Thermostat

The defrost heater is controlled by the evaporatorthermistor and normally tums offat 70'F. lf theevaporator thermistor fails, the evaporatorthermostat will turn off the defrost heater at 140"Fand will reset at 110"F.

The evaporator thermostat is located on the top,left side of the evaporator behind the back panel ofthe freezer compartment.

To access the thermostat, remove the drawers,shelves, and icemaker (if installed) from thefreezer compartment. Remove the back panel.

Shownwith Back Panel Removed

The thermostat is held in place by a spring tab. Toremove it, squeeze the tab.

Note: The resistance of the thermostat and defrostheater can be taken by removing the access panellocated in the upper left section of the evaporatorcover. Remove the screw and pullthe coverforward to expose the two-wire connector. Unplugthe connector and read the resistance between thetwo terminals. Since the thermostat and heater arein series, the reading should be approximately32 0.

When replacing the thermostat, cut the thermostatwires and splice the new thermostat using bellconnectors as shown. Always use RTV102silicone sealant to seal the end of the connectorfrom moisture.

Removal and Replacement

1. Open the freezer drawer until it stops.

2. The bottom basket rests on a frame inside thelreezer drawer. To remove it, liftthe basketftom the back and slide it toward the freezercompartment.

3. Remove the single Phillips-head screw oneach side of the rail.

Note: Do not remove the hex-head screws fromthe rail assemblies.

The tabs on the side of the drawer rails fit intothe front slots of the guide rails. Lift the drawerby the handle to separate the drawer rails ftomthe guide rails.

Set the drawer on a non-scratching surface.

Remove the middle basket, top basket, ice trayshelf, dnd ice bin.

The center rail assembly is held in place by amolded channel in the treezer ceiling andnotches in the metal support rails. Remove thecenter rail assembly by pressing down on themetal support rails while rotating the bottomedge of the center rail assembly.

A diagnostic aid can be assembled which consistsof a control board, membrane and wiring hamess.The parts required are WR55X10120,WR55X1 0068 and WX05X14999.

The control diagnostics allow the technician tofunctionally test individual components to aid introubleshooting.

On the electronic bottom mount models, thediagnostics are performed by removing theexisting temperature control board and plugging inthe diagnostic aid or by accessing the main boardon the back of the reftigeratorand plugging into theJ4 connector.

Note: Refrigerators with an electronic temperaturecontrol must have the control disconnected beforeattempting the diagnostics test from the maincontrolboard.

1. Enter the diagnostic mode by pressing boththe feezer temperature (cor-oen and wnnuen)pads and the refrigerator temperature (cor-oenand wnnuen) pads simultaneously.

Note: All four pads must be held for approximately3 seconds. Blinking "0's" in both displays indicatethe refrigerator has entered the test mode.

3. Press and release any pad other than thetemperature pads to active the test mode.

4. Enterthe display numbers as shown in thediagnostics chart on the next page for the testdesired.

5. Press and release any pad otherthan thetemperature pads to active the test mode.

Note: Selected models have limited test capability.See the COMMENTS column in the DiagnosticsChart on the next page for clarification.
