GENERAL

REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this Job Aid and on the appliance.

Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word

“DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

MAIN CONTROL BOARD

Control System Overview:

The control provides independent temperature control for the Refrigerator, Freezer and

Ice Maker compartments by monitoring NTC

Thermistors for the actual temperature of each compartment. It also considers the ambient temperature measured by a sensor. It receives temperature set points of each compartment from an externally connected user interface, except for the Ice Maker compartment which is internally defined. Based on these inputs, the control determines the required state of the

Compressor, Evaporator Fan and Air Baffle.

The optimal defrost times are determined by monitoring the length of time required to defrost the evaporator compared to an ideal defrost length.

Board Over Temperature Operation – Control

Board has an onboard thermistor. If thermistor detects a temperature of 75 C/167F or higher, all thermostatic loads will turn off. Normal operation will resume when the thermistor senses a temperature of 60C/140F or less.

Compartment Lights – All compartment lights turn off after 10 minutes of door being open, no matter which door is open.

Note: In Service Mode, in the diagnostic steps the lights work normally and will turn off after

10 minutes of elapsed time.

Ambient Thermistor





User Interface Board

The ambient thermistor information is used in an equation to adjust the control temperature values. As the ambient temperature changes the control value will shift to correct for the change. This helps maintain the compartment temperatures at the set value on the user interface. The ambient temperature may or may not be used for all of the compartments but it can be. It depends on a regression equation calculated from results of testing performed in the lab. The Humidity sensor is used in an equation to adjust the Wattage output of the mullion heater. The mullion heater operates at

0, 30, 70 or 100% of its rated Wattage

Humidity Sensor

The Humidity sensor is used in an equation to adjust the Wattage output of the mullion heater. The mullion heater operates at 0, 30,

70 or 100% of it's rated Wattage.

Humidity Sensor and Ambient Thermistor are Located on the User Interface Board.

The user interface board is sold as an assembly.
