Rh H. August 07, 2011 for Model Number KSCS25INSS01 SORRY for all the questions but so far I have replaced the inverter the main board and now the compressor as you have advised. Now I am getting frustrated because the compressor still won't start or run. Now I can't charge the system even with a new compressor as it won't start.---Please HELP I have followed all of your advise to a TTTT.I think I need some more HELP!!!!!!! RH Thanks--
1 Answer Hi RH. We have advised you as much as we can so far... However, you will have to please consider that all 3- phase compressors take between 7- to - 20 minutes for full run capacity/ load demand. We are here to help. Thank you. Read More...
Rh Factor July 23, 2011 for Model Number KSCS25INSS01 I have 5.6 Volts DC at red white to red on small clip plug, 120Volts AC at black to white on large AC plug and 9 to 11 ohms post to post at compressor and no grounds. This is is a rough one to figure out. With all the above the compressor still won't run. Please Help!!!!! Thanks again RH
1 Answer Hello RH Factor. With the voltage good, you will need to replace the compressor. Sometimes compressors can test good, but in reality they are bad. You have the correct power going to it, so you will need to replace the compressor 8201675. Hope this helps. Read More...
Rh Factor July 21, 2011 for Model Number KSCS25INSS01 In follow up to your answer of my original question I have 120 VOLTS A/C into the inverter but only 120 V-A/C at the compressor each line to Grnd.and not 230 V-A/C line to line. Again please HELP!!!! Thanks, RH. I tried to send you a similar note earlier ,guess it didn't go through.
1 Answer Hello RH Factor. Tey these test and see what you find. Connect power to the refrigerator and allow it to enter the “cooling” mode. While the refrigerator is in the cooling mode, the inverter and main control board voltages should be Red/White & Red Wires 3 To 6 Volts DC, Black & White Wires 120 Volts AC. Main Control Board P7-3 (Red) & P7-8 (Red/White) 3 To 6 Volts DC. Set the voltmeter to read the voltages. If it checks good, Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power. Disconnect the wire connector going to the compressor. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale. Touch the meter leads to any two pins. The meter should indicate approximately 9 to 10 O. Check between each set of pins to test all three windings. Set the ohmmeter to the highest scale. Touch one meter lead to the cabinet ground and the other lead to each of the three compressor terminals. The meter should indicate an open circuit (infinite). If it fails these test, the compressor 8201675 is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
Rh July 21, 2011 for Model Number KSCS25INSS01 Thank you for answer to previous question . I do have 120volts AC to my inverter and no 230 volt out to compressor posts but this is strange only 40 VOLTS line to ground at compressor lead. The inverter is a new unit. Is the red and white connector at the inverter some type of control or what? Please Advise Thanks R.H. Please Advise Thanks R.H.
1 Answer Hi R.H. Make sure your unit is in cooling mode. Then check the inverter red/white and red wires for 3 - to - 6 vdc. Check P7-3 (red) and P7-8 (red/white) on the main control board for 3-to-6 vdc. If the voltage is not present, replace the main control board. If there is voltage, then unplug or disconnect the unit. Disconnect the wire connector at the compressor. Set your ohm meter to Rx1 scale. Touch the meter leads on any two pins. You should have a reading of 9 to 10 ohms. Check between all three sets of pins to test all three windings. Touch one meter lead to compressor (green) ground and test all three pins to see if the compressor is grounded. If so then the compressor is either bad from improper ohms, or shorted to ground. The compressor part # is 8201675. Thank you. Read More...
Rh Factor July 20, 2011 for Model Number KSCS25INSS01 Kitchen Aid Refer. Compressor is good. I replaced the inverter and the main board. Condsenser fan runs, but compressor does not. So help me please .Thank you RH.
1 Answer Hello RH. Test across the black and white wires coming to the inverter W10629033 and see if you have 120 volts AC. If not, you will need to look for a loose or broken wire. If there is 120 volts coming to the inverter, you will want to test for 230 volts AC going to the compressor. If there is power to the compressor and it does not run, you will need to replace the compressor 8201675. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
