6. If the Continuity Test indicated in TABLE 2
measures an open, remove the heater leads at
Terminals 1 & 2 and install a jumper across ter-
minals 1 & 2 (See Figure 3 for location). Repeat
the Continuity Check.
If after installing the jumper, the Ohmmeter now
shows a short, the heater has the open circuit
and must be replaced. Remove jumper from ter-
minals 1 & 2.
If the Ohmmeter still shows an open, there is an
open circuit in the control panel (make sure the
Selector switch is still in the AC position and the
fuse is good). The control assembly should be
detached and layed back according to the first
four steps of the selector switch removal proce-
dure on page 12-20. Make sure all the wiring is
correct according to the wiring diagrams and
Figure 4. If wiring is proper, remove the jumper
from terminal 1 & 2 and isolate the open in the
Control Assembly as follows:
a. With the AC cord disconnected, unfasten the
Control Assembly and lay back to view the
control wiring as described above. Without re-
moving any wires, place a jumper across ter-
minals W1 & W2 as illustrated in Figure 5.
Note: Access to the terminals can be gained
by probing through the end of the Quick
Connectors as shown in the illustrations.
If the AC heater is now energized when
power is applied, replace the Thermostat. If
not, remove jumper and go to (b.) below.
b. With the AC cord disconnected, lay back the
Control panel as described above and place
one jumper from AC2 to W2 and another
jumper from AC1 to W1 according to Figure 6.
If AC is now energized when power is applied,
replace the Selector Switch per replacement
procedure on page 12-20.
7. If the continuity test in Step 4 indicates normal
heater ohms (76-85), then the problem is not in
the electrical circuit. Make sure the supply volt-
age is within 108 to 132 volts range and check
heater position to insure it is securely installed
in its well.
Poor Cooling in AC Mode
If the refrigerator is cooling poorly in AC yet satis-
factory in the GAS mode, the problem could be one
of the following:
a. Low voltage to heater (or extremely high volt-
age).
b. Heater not within wattage specification
c. Heater not secure in heater well
1. Check for 110 volts to the heater at Terminals 1
and 2 (See Figure 3 for location). The voltage
range limitation is 108 - 132 Volts AC. Note: Do
not disconnect the heater when this measure-
ment is taken. If voltage reading is acceptable,
go to Step 2.
2. Disconnect the AC supply cord and use an
Ohmmeter to measure the HOT and NEUTRAL
prongs of the AC connector, as in Figure 7. The
measurement must be between 76 Ohms and
85 Ohms (or, if the heater is still hot, between 82
ohms and 91 ohms). Replace the heater if out-
side these stated limits.
3. If measurements in Steps 1 & 2 are acceptable,
the problem is not in the electrical circuit. Inspect
the heater installation to insure the heater is in-
serted to the "stop" bead and there is no physi-
cal damage.
Refrigerator Not Functioning in Gas Mode
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON
OR NEAR A PROPANE GAS SYSTEM. DO NOT
SMOKE NEAR A PROPANE GAS SYSTEM. DO
NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK THE
PROPANE GAS SYSTEM FOR LEAKS. A LOOSE
PROPANE SUPPLY LINE CONNECTION ALLOWS
GAS VAPORS TO ESCAPE. IF YOU CAN SMELL
FUMES, YOU HAVE HALF THE INGREDIENTS
FOR AN EXPLOSION. AN EXPLOSION CAN RE-
SULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
