Hello
See technician sheet link. Do you have any error codes coming up or stored error codes ? I would run the unit through a forced defrost cycle. Press the Freezer button a second time to Force Fridge Defrost. Measure
defrost voltage at main PCB. Check defrost sensors. Defrost – The sensor voltage tells the Main PCB to turn off the

How to Check Sensor Resistances Accurately
Make ice slurry. To do this, fill a cup with ice
(preferably crushed), then add water and a teaspoon
of salt to make a slush. Mix thoroughly and allow to sit
for 2 to 3 minutes. This will give you a 32*F reference.
Now, lower the sensor into the mixture and
leave for about 1 minute, then check the resistance. It
should be very close to 13,300 ohms. Before reinstalling
the sensor, be sure to rinse it with fresh water and

Compartment Temp – The sensor controls fan/compressor on/
off to maintain temp
Ice Production – harvests when the I/M sensor reads 1.5 degrees
for 5 minutes, Flex Tray Only.
If the door is opened during that 5 minutes harvest is delayed.

Fan Speeds – Below 60 degrees condenser fan is off
Defrost Timing – The warmer the room the more often it goes into defrost cycle.
