Randy for Model Number LSC27931ST I have a spare refrigerator in my garage. It was working fine. Then all of sudden it stop working. I notice my GFI outlet was tripped. I reset it then it trips again. I made sure my main circuit breaker was on. I bought a new GFI outlet just to make sure I eliminate that it was faulty. This is the only item plugged in the outlet. I opened my refrigerator and smelt a very faint electrical burn smell. I removed the electrical panel on top of refrigerator and looked around the board. No broken fuse2 on board and no burnt marks on top or bottom of the board. Could something else be causing the problem, or would you recommend replacing the board as a starting point? Also, this refrigerator is more than 7 yrs old. Most of my digital number lights on front of door for frig & freezer temperature were barely working. Thanks in advance... Board number EBR43273202
Answer Hello Randy. First try the unit in a standard outlet. Refrigerators are not designed for GFI outlets. If it kicks the breaker, then you will need to look for a part that is a dead short. It could be the board or it could be a wiring issue. Any time one is tripping a breaker, it usually leads to a dead short. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
