  2. Initiate Self Test Mode – With the unit ON and in Diagnostic Mode, press and hold COLDER and WARMER keys, then the POWER key, then release all three keys (See Figure 7-2). Self Test Mode will last for five (5) seconds.
  3. Initiate Fault Code Recall Mode – With the unit ON, press and a COLDER key, and press the POWER key, then release both keys (See Figure 7-3). (See the Fault Code Table with LCD Correlation Diagram on pages 7- 3 and 7-4)
    NOTE: Press a WARMER or COLDER key to toggle through the Fault Codes. 
  4. Locate the matching code(s) in the left column of the Fault Code Troubleshooting Guide (starting on page 7-5).

The Sealed System Diagnostic Tables

NORMAL OPERATING PRESSURES TABLE NOTES:

  • Only enter the sealed system to check pressures if the Fault Code Troubleshooting Guide and General Troubleshooting Guide could not pinpoint the cause of the temperature problem.
  • Always use solder-on process valves when entering the sealed system. Do NOT use bolt-on process valves as they are prone to leak.
  • Whenever servicing the sealed system, the high-side filter-drier MUST be replaced.
  • Pressures listed below are not indicative of initial pull down, but rather of a steadily running and properly functioning appliance.
  • Pressures listed are for reference only, as actual pressure readings may vary because of one or more of the following reasons:
    1. Ambient temperatures (Pressures are based on a 21°C (70°F) Ambient).
    2. Temperature set-points (Pressures listed are based on set-points of -18°C (0°F) in freezers and 3°C (38°F) in refrigerators)
    3. Food load quantity and temperature.
    4. Condenser cleanliness.
    5. Whether or not one or both refrigeration systems are operating.
    6. Gauge calibration.
