Safety Precautions

Before performing any service procedures, ensure proper safety measures are followed.

Disconnect power: Unplug refrigerator before any service work.
Refrigerant handling: Only certified technicians should handle R600a refrigerant.
Electrical safety: Use insulated tools and wear protective equipment.
Component handling: Allow capacitors to discharge before touching.

WARNING! R600a refrigerant is flammable. No smoking or open flames near work area. Follow proper recovery and recycling procedures.

Disassembly Procedures

Step-by-step instructions for accessing internal components.

Remove door handles: Use Torx T20 screwdriver to remove screws.
Access control panel: Remove top grille by releasing clips.
Remove doors: Support door weight, disconnect wiring harnesses.
Access compressor compartment: Remove rear service panel.
Remove evaporator cover: Release clips and remove screws.

CAUTION! Document wire connections and use proper tools to avoid damage.

Electrical System

Complete electrical schematic and component testing procedures.

Component	Test Procedure	Specification
Main PCB	Check voltage at connector CN201	115V AC input
Compressor	Resistance between terminals	2-10 ohms
Fan Motors	Check resistance and rotation	50-200 ohms
Defrost Heater	Continuity test	20-40 ohms
Thermistors	Resistance at room temperature	10k ohms

Cooling System
