    That is not the correct manual. My unit is a PFS22SISDSS.

    So far, I’ve only been able to get through a few tests, but here are the results: 02 P 03 F 04 F 06 888 888 Maybe I should note that I removed the ice maker years ago because of problems with it. But, again, I believe the manual you sent to me is for the wrong unit. The condenser coil is definitely different, and my unit has french doors with a lower freezer.

    That was the same tech sheet as before. But, I’m not sure if the manual that was sent was for the correct unit since mine is 22 cubic feet. Also, some more tests show that, apparently, Fresh food bottom thermistor and freezer thermistor are bad. At least they show 0, not P. But, if compressor was running all of the time, even if those were bad, wouildn’t it get cooler? I am running test 1 2 now, continuous compressor run for 1 hour. My serial number is GR046663, so I don’t think that bulletin applies. On J2, with the connector connected, I measure 13.48 volts between pins 8 and 3. I believe that is fine and the condenser fan is spinning. The condenser is a little warm, but not hot. The compressor is warm, but not so hot that I can’t easily touch it.
  • Have you inspected the evaporator for an even frost pattern ? If the thermistors were defective in most cases the fresh food section would freeze food. So if the compressor is running all of the time you most likely have a starved evaporator or low refrigerant charge. Look at the evaporator and you should have an even frost pattern across the complete coil. If you do not have an even frost pattern you have a major sealed system issue that is very expensive to repair.
  • The manufacture uses the same manual for multiple models. The manuals and bulletin are definitely for your model.
