Finger Ice Maker Tests

Fresh Food Ice Maker Diagnostic Chart:
Finger Evaporator Ice Maker

Before you begin, please verify the following:
1. Doors are closing and sealing properly
Make sure there are no gaps in door seal at the top, sides, and bottom of the door.
Verify the distance between the freezer door and cabinet is consistent from top to bottom.
Verify Freezer door gasket is not contacting Fresh Food door hinges
Verify Freezer gasket is uniformly spaced between the cabinet and door.
2. Freezer and Fresh Food lights turn off when doors are closed
3. Fans operate properly (Freezer evaporator and condenser)
Freezer evaporator fan will turn off when freezer door is opened
4. No defrost or sealed system issues in the Freezer
A failure in any of the conditions above may result in the unit entering Freezer Recovery Mode.
Freezer Recovery Mode is activated whenever the temperature in the FREEZER rises 7-12 above
the set temperature (see table below). Recovery mode will exit once the FREEZER temperature is
within 6-10 from the set temperature (see table below). While in Recovery Mode, the Fresh Food Ice
Maker will be turned off. Verify that the doors are closing and sealing properly, lights are shutting off,
and there is not a defrost or sealed system issue in the FREEZER. If all are correct, possibly a door
was left open or the EEV is not closing properly (Refer to Troubleshooting Procedures for Test 49C
and 62C).
Refer to RF1009 for additional information regarding Recovery Mode.

Freezer Recovery Mode is activated whenever the temperature in the FREEZER rises 8-10 above the set
temperature of the FREEZER. Recovery mode will exit once the FREEZER temperature is within 4-6 from the set
temperature. While in Recovery Mode, the Fresh Food Ice Maker will be turned off. Verify that the doors are closing
and sealing properly, lights are turning off, and there is not a defrost or sealed system issue in the FREEZER. If all
are correct, possibly a door was left open or the EEV is not closing properly (Refer to Troubleshooting Procedures
for Test 49C and 62C).
1. Access the EEV.
a. Remove the EEV Coil from the back of the EEV. Dry the Coil and back of EEV.
b. Remove the electrical connector from the bottom of the Coil and remove any moisture.

tension clip that secures the Coil to the EEV.
2. Locate the TH3 connector (small blue connector).
a. Remove any moisture.
b. Reconnect connector. Retest.
3. If EEV still does not open, check wiring between the EEV Coil connector and Ice Maker Control Board J1-11
(Wht/Blu), J1-12 (Rd/Blu), J1-23 (Brn/Blu), and J1-24 (Yl/Blu).
a. If correct, replace Ice Maker Control Board and EEV Coil.
