those pics are great. it looks like the sealed system is working as it should. can you post a picture of the wiring diagram? at this point you need to test the heater and evaperator thermister circuits from the control board. if you post a diagram we can walk you through this test. if these parts test good, you will need to replace the main control board.

Looks like someone has posted a wiring diagram from the service manual. Is that what you mean and want?

Thanks, I have a link that I downloaded, so I have the service manual. I haven't looked yet but I am guessing that the "main board" is in the back of the fridge? Have to remove a panel to access it? Hope it is easy. Although I have removed the freezer door and back panel of the freezer so many times now, that I can do it in the dark!

ok. unplug the refrigerator. locate and remove the square access panel on the back of the fridge. looking at the large control board behind the panel, locate and disconnect the wiring connectors labelled con1 and con3. set your meter to measure ohms. put one probe in the con3 brown wire and the other probe in the con1 blue wire and record the reading. next locate and disconnect con5 from the board. using the meter set to read ohms again measure between the two orange wires. reconnect all connectors, reinstall the access panel, and plug in the refrigerator. post the readings here on the forum and we can help you determine the cause of your defrost problem.

Ok, before I get started. The meter I am using is exactly like the one pictured on page 1 of this post. It has like 7 different settings. What setting should it be on for ohms?

200 ohms scale between brown and blue. 200k between the orange wires.

There is no reading at all from the con 1 to the con 3. Con 5 test reading was 12.8 I am guessing it is the main circuit board? Last edited on Tue Oct 26th, 2010 02:08 am by Bratton |

if there is no reading between the brown and blue you have either an open thermal fuse or bad defrost heater

while testing at the board did you happen to notice if your board has a small button labeled "test" ?

The fzr. thermistor ( temp. sensor ) will not deliver a dh code. The heater, defrost controller and computer will. If the evaporator fan motor ( freezer fan ) were at fault it would deliver a FF code. If you have changed the defrost controller ( what I believe you are calling a "conductor" ) ( and is also known as a fuse ) and are sure that the defrost heater element is good the main pcb ( computer ) is not recognizing that the problem it sensed is solved or there is a wiring fault in the unit cabinet. I assume you disconnected the power to replace the d.controller. So that would have cleared the code. When the power is disconnected all codes are cleared. It would take several hours for the dh code to reappear. The coil temp. would have to lower, frost would began to build up on the coil and when the controller senses that it is time to go into defrost, defrost would start. When the sensor does not see the temp rise as the heater warms things up it would show the dh code. Or if the temp does not rise as the sensor expects it to, due to a faulty heater, wiring or pcb it will generate the code. So you either did not clear the original code by powering the unit off, you have a bad m.pcb or a wiring fault in the cabinet. My bet is the m.pcb. The simplest way to check the heater is to put the unit in test mode and check that the heater heats up. It will get VERY hot. If it just gets warm you would not achieve full defrost and would be left with frost across the top of the coil. The service manual will tell you how to enter into and cycle through the test mode from the display panel. Also the "test" button on the m.pcb will achieve the same effect ( if there is one )

It could also be the wiring in the cabinet, but that is not very likely. the next step is to get inside the freezer and test the 2 wires going to the heater, then test both sets of wires in the defrost controller.
