ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOARD

The main electronic control board is located

at the right rear of the unit compartment (fac

ing from the rear). The main electronic board

communicates with the user interface. It also

receives and reacts to feedback from other

sources, such as water valves, thermistors,

defrost bimetal, refrigerator and freezer light

switches, and the air damper. The electronic

control board directly controls, or supplies power

to, virtually all functions of the refrigerator.

THERMISTORS

Temperature is regulated with the use of two

thermistors that provide feedback to the main

control board. One thermistor is located on the

back wall of the refrigerator section, and the

other is located on the left wall of the freezer

section.

NOTE: Thermistors are very reliable and sel-

dom fail.

The refrigerator thermistor controls:

• Motorized air bafﬂe (damper)

• Evaporator fan (only when the air bafﬂe

is open)

The freezer thermistor controls:

• Compressor

• Condenser fan

• Evaporator fan (only when the air bafﬂe

is closed)
