Bobby January 06, 2020 for Model Number ge profile french door I think the inverter is bad I checked for dc voltage from the motherboard and it's 2.93, the ac from it is 125.2. I checked the compressor for shorts and across all points, I got 0.9 resistance so it showed no shorts. Am I right going after the inverter? I show overheat discoloration on its board and the case.
1 Answer Bobby, if the model number of your appliance could be provided in a new inquiry, this will ensure the most accurate information can be presented. Read More...
Bob August 14, 2019 for Model Number Ziss480nxcss Compressor has problem starting shake a few time then starts and seems to work properly. The voltage on j15 is 12.5 v dc power supply board 120 in 25v dc out
1 Answer Bob, if the voltage at J15 was tested with the wires disconnected, the voltage would be good from the main control. As the inverter is receiving 120VAC, and the main control is sending the proper voltage, the most likely issue would be with the inverter WR87X29409. However, you may want to test the compressor windings to ensure they have not been impacted. With the power disconnected, the compressor pins will need to be tested to each other and should read 12.4 ohms of resistance on each set of pins tested together. If the compressor WR87X10111 windings should fail a resistance test, a licensed technician would be required to repair the unit. Read More...
Matt W. June 15, 2019 for Model Number pfss5rkza Compressor will not come on. I have 7 ish volts on J15. The compressor ohm checks all match at around 7. Also, I have 120 volts getting to the inverter. So the question is do I need to replace the mother boards because of J15 volts or is the inverter the problem. I did just have someone replace the water valve as I was out of town and it was leaking. Compressor worked perfectly and fridge was cold before this replacement.
1 Answer Hello Matt, it sounds like your board is sending the correct signal voltage (4-6 vdc) to the inverter board WR49X10283 but the board is no longer responding and might need to be replaced. Hope this helps! Read More...
Oswald September 04, 2018 for Model Number Samsung rf263teaesr My Samsung rf263teaesr fridge freezer ... the fridge is cooling correctly but the freezer at the bottom just stopped freezing .... the fan is working well and I already changed the main PCB . The temperature display for the freezer is not correct as well . Need help ASAP . Thanks
1 Answer Oswald, You could have a defrost issue. You will need to gain access to the rear cover in your freezer and remove. If you find a wall of ice on your coils your heater is not working. Check heater for continuity and your bi-metal also. Replace any parts that fail. Read More...
Simon July 09, 2018 for Model Number GE Cafe French Doors Stopped cooling, have power to inverter, and 59 volts per wire to compressor, but compressor not working...wondering if that’s enough voltage or if compressor is bad...thanks!
1 Answer Simon, The test procedure is incorrect. If you have an inverter control, The power out to the compressor would be DC voltage and in a range of 5 to 14 VDC. We will need tihe model number of the refrigerator in order to properly assist and advise you. Thanks, Read More...
Frank December 13, 2017 All three compressor windings are showing around 200ohm reading. J15 on the motherboard was between 5-6 . Does that mean the compressor has the issues ?
1 Answer Frank, A 200 ohm reading will be high for a compressor that should read in the range of about 10 to 11 ohm. This would be an indication of a bad compressor. Read More...
Doc November 26, 2017 for Model Number GE Monogram 48" ZIS480DX Both fridge and freezer stopped cooling. Lights, water, condenser fan all working. Initially diagnosed it as a bad inverter board so I purchased a new one from your guys (thanks btw for the super fast shipping). Still seeing the same symptoms. When plugging fridge back in the compressor appears to kick on but then just goes to a barely detectable hum. I checked and re-checked the windings on the compressor and they all match (7.4 ohms I think it was). I'm getting 120 VAC to the inverter connection. One thing I noticed though - when I pull the connector at the inverter that comes FROM the J15 pins on the main board I get 7.8 VDC (shouldn't this be between 4-6). When I go to the main board and pull the connector and test directly on the J15 pins I get about 8 VDC. Shouldn't this be higher right at the board - like 10-12 VDC? Is the main board bad do you think?
1 Answer Doc, With the inverter board having already been replaced then this issue would most likely be with the main board on the readings that you are getting at the main board. Read More...
Brian November 01, 2017 for Model Number PFSS5NJWASS So after changing motherboard all fan running and voltage at J15 is 12.5 V now (inverter plugged or unplugged) still 12.5 V at J15.So can be inverter bad ? or there is something else what causing this problem. Please help i just running out of ideas what can be bad here. Model PFSS5NJWASS Thank you
1 Answer Brian, Based on the information it does sound likely that the inverter board would be faulty and need replaced. Read More...
Brian October 23, 2017 for Model Number PFSS5NJWASS My GE refrigerator has stopped working. After checking around looks like my compressor is ok, (all 3 compressor windings showing 6.5 ohms). I installed a new inverter board but no luck. After checking J15 it looks like there is not any voltage supply to the inverter (should be around 5 dc or so) my evaporator fan in the freezer is running but the condenser fan by the compressor not (and looks like there is not any voltage). Is my motherboard bad or can something else be the problem? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Brian, If there are no harness issues, the main board WR55X10956 will be the issue. Read More...
Andy August 26, 2017 for Model Number pfss5njxbss My compressor won't power on. I measured the resistance across all 3 compressor leads and I get 6.5 ohms across all 3 combinations. I measured the voltage on the J15 connector and it varied from 4.1v to 5.3 v. It goes up down up down about a second apart. The board had a noticeable burn mark on one of the ICs/Transistor(?) so I went ahead and replaced it. I'm still getting the same J15 voltage swing 4.1-5.3 volts and the compressor still doesn't turn on. I hate to spend another $190 for the inverter board. if it could be something else. Can I test the Inverter compressor with a 5Vdc power supply. Any other suggestions? Thanks
1 Answer Andy, You will want to check the connector going from the inverter board to the compressor and test to make sure that there is power going through the wire to the compressor. If there is power to the compressor then this will be a faulty compressor. Read More...
