voltage per nameplate.
See the table for default cabinet temperature control dial settings.
Model Default Cabinet Temperature
Control Dial Setting
Approximate Default Temperature
UR/WR - Undercounter/Worktop 5 Refrigerator: 34°F (1°C)
SR - Prep Table 5 Refrigerator: 34°F (1°C)
UF/WF - Undercounter/Worktop 7 Freezer: -5°F (-21°C)
The diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical
system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation and proper
voltage per nameplate.
Conrm that the appliance location meets factory requirements:
• This appliance is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient
temperature:
– All UR/WR and Solid Door UF/WF 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C)
– SR 45°F to 86°F (7°C to 30°C)
– UF Glass Door 45°F to 80°F (7°C to 27°C).
• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat
producing equipment. Check CM using the steps in "II.C. Control Module Check."
Note: • When checking voltage (115VAC), always choose a neutral white (W) wire to
establish a good neutral connection.
• Control module has high and low voltage protection. If off on either protection,
no LED is visible and all components are off.
High Voltage: 140VAC
Low Voltage: 90VAC
• There is a 2 min. minimum compressor on time for all models and a 2-min.
minimum compressor off time for UR/WR and SR and a 3-min. minimum
compressor off time for UF/WF.
• The control module incorporates LEDs
to identify sequence of operation.

1) Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
2) Remove the CM mounting bracket and place the CM in a place where the LEDs are
visible.
3) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet. If appliance was in defrost when
power supply was disconnected, defrost is terminated and normal cooling cycle begins.
4) Startup/Cool Down–All 3 LEDs ash on then off, then a solid yellow LED turns on for
10 sec., yellow LED turns off and solid green LED turns on (normal cooling cycle).
CTh Temperature above setpoint, Comp, ConFM, EvapFM, PH (UF/WF only), and
MH (UF/WF only) energize. 2-min. Comp on timer and 5-hr. DT starts.
a) CTh Diagnosis: If CTh fails, green and yellow LEDs ash on the CM. Conrm CTh
is properly connected to CM. Check Ohm reading of CTh. See "II.D. Thermistor
Check." Replace as needed.
b) CM Diagnosis: Conrm green LED is solid. If not, conrm CTh is above setpoint.
Next, check for 115VAC between CM Live In black (BK) wire and a neutral white
(W) wire. If 115VAC is not present, check power cord connections and breaker/fuse.
Conrm wiring connections are secure for both CM Live In black (BK) and a neutral
white (W) wire. If 115VAC is present, CTh is above setpoint, and CM green LED is
not on, replace CM.
c) Comp/ConFM Diagnosis: Check that Comp and ConFM energize. Next, check for
115VAC at CM Comp violet (V) wire to a neutral white (W) wire. If 115VAC is not
present at CM Comp violet (V) to a neutral white (W) wire, check CTh status. See
"II.D. Thermistor Check." If CTh ohm reading is in proper range, replace CM.
Comp: If 115VAC is present, check Comp external overload, start or run cap (if
applicable), PTC relay or start relay, and Comp motor windings. Replace as needed.
ConFM: If 115VAC is present, check fan blade for binding, then check ConFM motor
windings. If Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM are energized and the cabinet does not
cool down, check for a restriction in the refrigeration circuit, low refrigerant charge,
or inefficient Comp.
d) EvapFM Diagnosis: Check that EvapFM(s) energize. If not, check for 115VAC at
CM Aux 1 black-smooth (BK-SM) wire to neutral white (W) wire. If 115VAC is not
present, replace CM. If 115VAC is present, check fan blades for binding, then check
EvapFM motor windings.
e) PH and MH Diagnosis (UF/WF only): PH and MH follow Comp operation. When
Comp is energized, PH and MH are energized. If 115VAC is present, check amp
draw of PH and MH. If an amp reading is not present, check the continuity of PH
and MH. If defective, replace PH or MH.
f) Glass Door Cabinet LEDs Diagnosis: LED(s) are activated by CLS. If CLS is
engaged and LED(s) fail to turn on, check for 115VAC at both CLS (Y) wires to a
neutral white (W) wire. If 115VAC is present on one end and not the other, check
CLS continuity. If open replace CLS. If CLS is closed and 115VAC is present on both
CLS (Y) wires to a neutral (W), check for 24VDC at DCD black (BK) wire to DCD red
(R) wire. If 24VDC is not present, check continuity of DCD driver. If open, replace
DCD driver. If 24VDC is present and LED(s) are not on, check wiring harness and
wiring connections from DCD to LED(s). If connections are good and LED(s) are not
on, replace CM.

5) Cool Down Achieved–CTh reaches setpoint temperature.
All Models: Comp and ConFM de-energize.
UR/WR and UF/WF: EvapFM de-energize.
SR: EvapFM continues.
Diagnosis: If temperature setpoint achieved and Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM does not
de-energize (except SR), check CTh continuity. See "II.D. Thermistor Check."
If CTh is defective, replace. If CTh is good and either the Comp, ConFM, or EvapFM
continue, replace CM. SR: If EvapFM de-energizes, check for 115VAC at CM Aux 1
black-smooth (BK-SM) wire to neutral white (W) wire. If 115VAC is not present, replace
CM. If 115VAC is present, check fan blades for binding, then check EvapFM motor
windings.
6) Defrost–Manual, temperature, and time-initiated defrost with temperature-terminated
defrost. Defrost has a 5-min. minimum time and a 55-min. maximum time on UR/WR,
a 1-hr. maximum time on UF/WF, and a 45-min. maximum time on SR.
1a) Manual-Initiation (All): Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet, then move
the CTCD to the off position. Plug the appliance back in to the electrical outlet. The
green, yellow, and red LED turn on. Rotate the CTCD clockwise to position 4 (green
and red LED turn off, yellow LED remains on), move counter-clockwise to position 2
(yellow LED turns off and red LED turns on), move back clockwise again to position
8 (red LED remains on and green LED turns on). Defrost initiates.
Note: Once at the number position, conrm the appropriate LEDs turn off and on.
If not, move the CTCD back and forth until the LED turns on. Once the LED is on,
move to the next position.
1b) Temperature Initiation:
(1) UR/WR: DTh is at or below -4°F (-20°C), defrost starts. CM red and green LED
turn on. If energized, Comp and ConFM de-energize. EvapFM continues.
(2) SR: No temperature initiation. Time only.
(3) UF/WF: DTh at or below -31°F (-35°C), defrost starts. CM red and green LED
turn on. If energized, Comp, ConFM, EvapFM, PH, and MH de-energize.
DH energizes. 5-min. minimum DT starts and 1-hr. maximum DT starts.
1c) Time Initiation (All):
5-hr. cumulative compressor run timer terminates, defrost starts.
(1) UR/WR: Comp and ConFM de-energize. EvapFM continues. 5-min. minimum DT
starts and 55-min. maximum DT starts.
(2) SR: Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM de-energize. DH energizes. 5-min. minimum DT
starts and 45-min. maximum DT starts.
(3) UF/WF: Comp, ConFM, EvapFM, PH, and MH de-energize.
DH energizes. 5-min. minimum DT starts and 1-hr. maximum DT starts.
Note: There is a 1-hr. defrost lock-out after a defrost cycle terminates. This may be
bypassed by initiating a manual defrost or unplugging and plugging back in to
the electrical outlet.

18
2a) Manually-Terminated: Set the CTCD to the off position, then back to original setting
or unplugging and plugging back in to the electrical outlet. Defrost terminated.
2b) Temperature or Time Terminated:
(1) UR/WR: 45°F (7.2°C) achieved or 55-min. backup DT terminates. If CTh calling
for cooling, Comp and ConFM energize. EvapFM continues.
(2) SR: 46°F (7.7°C) achieved or 45-min. backup DT terminates.
DH de-energizes. Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM energize.
(3) UF/WF: 55°F (12.7°C) achieved or 1-hr. backup DT terminates.
DH de-energizes. 3-min. DOT starts. 3-min. DOT terminates. If CTh calling for
cooling, Comp, ConFM, PH, and MH energize. Once evaporator temperature
achieves 10°F (-12.2°C) or 3-min. EvapFM delay timer terminates, EvapFM
energizes.
Defrost Diagnosis
1) Manual Initiated: Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet, then move the
CTCD to the off position. Plug the appliance back in to the electrical outlet. The
green, yellow, and red LED turn on. Rotate the CTCD clockwise to position 4 (green
and red LED turn off, yellow LED remains on), move counter-clockwise to position 2
(yellow LED turns off and red LED turns on), move back clockwise again to position
8 (red LED remains on and green LED turns on). Defrost initiates. Note: Once at
the number position, conrm the appropriate LEDs turn off and on. If not, move the
CTCD back and forth until the LED turns on. Once the LED is on, move to the next
position. After several attempts and the LEDs do not turn on and off as listed above,
replace the CM. If defrost does not initiate after all the LEDs properly turn on and
off, replace the CM. Once initiated, see component diagnosis below in "3) Time
Initiated."
2) Temperature Initiated:
a) UR/WR: Has 1-hr. DLT terminated? Has DTh cooled to -4°F (-20°C) or lower?
b) SR: Has DTh cooled to -4°F (-20°C) or lower?
a) UF/WF: Has 1-hr. DLT terminated? Has DTh cooled to -31°F (-35°C) or lower?
(1) DTh Diagnosis: If DTh has cooled to proper temperature, conrm DTh status.
See "II.D. Thermistor Check."
(2) CM Diagnosis: Check that CM red and green LEDs turn on. If not, and DTh ohm
reading is in proper range, replace CM.
3) Time Initiated: 5-hr. cumulative compressor run timer terminates.
(1) CM Diagnosis: Conrm green and yellow LEDs turn on. If not, After attempting
CTCD sequence several times and defrost still not initiated, wait 1 to 2 min. and
repeat process. If defrost cycle still not activated, replace CM as needed.
(2) Comp and ConFM Diagnosis: Conrm Comp and ConFM de-energize.
If not, check for 115VAC at CM Comp violet (V) wire to a neutral white (W) wire.
If 115VAC is present, Check DTh continuity. See "II.D. Thermistor Check."
Replace as needed. If DTh conrmed, replace CM.

19
(3) EvapFM Diagnosis
UR/WR: EvapFM continues. If not, check for 115VAC at CM
AUX 1 black-smooth (BK-SM) wire to a neutral white (W). If 115VAC is not
present, replace CM.
SR and UF/WF: Conrm EvapFM de-energizes. If not, check for 115VAC at
CM AUX 1 black-smooth (BK-SM) to a neutral white (W). If 115VAC is present,
conrm Comp and ConFM de-energized. Next, check DTh continuity. See "II.D.
Thermistor Check." Replace as needed. If DTh conrmed, replace CM.
(4) DH Diagnosis (SR and UF/WF): Conrm DH energizes. Check for 115VAC at
CM AUX 2 black (BK) wire to a neutral white (W). If 115VAC is present, conrm
Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM de-energized. Next, check DTh continuity. See "II.D.
Thermistor Check." Replace as needed. If DTh conrmed, replace CM.
2) Defrost Termination
Manually Terminated Defrost: Set the CTCD to the off position, then back to
original setting or unplugging and plugging back in to the electrical outlet. Defrost
terminated. If not, replace CM.
Temperature/Time Terminated Defrost
a) UR/WR: DTh warms to 45°F (7.2°C). Conrm continuity of DTh.
See "II.D. Thermistor Check." Replace as needed. If DTh conrmed, replace CM.
Once defrost termination achieved, EvapFM continues. Comp and ConFM energize.
If not, see "4) Startup/Cool down" above.
b) SR: DTh warms to 46°F (7.7°C). DH de-energizes. Conrm continuity of DTh. See
"II.D. Thermistor Check." Replace as needed. If DTh is good and DH continues after
DTh achieves 46°F (7.7°C), replace CM. Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM energize. If
not, see "4) Startup/Cool down" above.
c) UF/WF: DTh warms to 55°F (12.7°C) DH de-energizes. Conrm continuity of DTh.
See "II.D. Thermistor Check." Replace as needed. If DTh is good and DH continues
after DTh achieves 55°F (12.7°C), replace CM. 3-min. DOT starts. 3-min. DOT
terminates. If CTh calling for cooling, Comp, ConFM, PH, and MH energize. Once
evaporator temperature achieves 10°F (-12.2°C) or 3-min. EvapFM delay timer
terminates, EvapFM energizes. If not, see "4) Startup/Cool down" above.
