Unplug the refrigerator. Pull it out of the wall and remove the cover from the main control board. Remove the J1 plug from the control board. Set the ohmmeter on a highest scale. Measure the resistance between the wires connected to the J1-5 & J1-1 and the J1-5 and J1-2. Post the results and the temperature in the fresh food compartment at that time. Gene.

Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 3/23/2012(UTC) Posts: 26		we unplugged the frig, pulled off the j1 piece from the circuit board, then put the positive probe on the first metal spike and the negative on the 5th metal spike(for lack of a better term)and got a reading. Then, did the same with spike one and two. does that make sense? thanks, Rebecca
