Answer Hello Brian. Yes, the green wire is the ground wire. If the control is turned on in the unit, then the fan motor will come on when the unit is plugged in. On some models, there is a few seconds delay, and on other models, it is immediately.

Answer Hello Alain, If the evaporator coils are getting impacted with frost then you will want to check your defrost heater to make sure it has continuity. Since you already replaced the defrost thermostat, if the heater checks ok then you will want to replace the defrost timer 2314156.

Answer Hello Diana, The grounding wire on this unit will connect where there is a grounding wire on the left side right above the evaporator at the back wall. There is already a ground there just put that one there as well.

Answer Hello John. As long as the ground is in the correct location, the other two wires can go on either terminal of the fan motor W10189703.

Answer Hi Mike. The evaporator fan motor part # W10189703 needs to always run when the compressor runs. If you see a definite complete frost pattern on all of the evap. coil surface then you can safely bet the freon is flowing well, (no ice ball restrictions). You need to use a volt/ohm meter part # TJMA-DM1 to un-plug the fan electrical connector and test for 120 vac going to the fan motor. If there you need to replace the fan. If not then look at the wires at the plugs leading up to the control assy. part # R0161092 it sends the voltage to the fan and compressor. Thank You.
