Hello
Ice maker diagnostics .
1) Do you have 1/2 inch of water across the tray of the ice maker ?
2) If so and the water is frozen, do you have 0-5 degrees in the freezer section? The ice maker thermostat will not let the ice maker harvest unless you have temperatures of +10 degrees or colder.
3) Have you tried manually cycling the ice maker ? If not see the technician link below.

Hello
It sounds like the motor may be shutting down . See the diagnostics sheet link below. Also check your outlet voltage for proper polarity, voltage and ground. Also see video link. Matt Ace technician

Hello
The defrost thermostat is a safety device . It wires in series with the defrost heater to prevent it from staying on too long. If the defrost control gets stuck in the defrost cycle it will shut the heater down at specific rated temperature. Most defrost thermostats on the older models are 50 degrees to 80 degree cut off.

Hi. The model number you provided is for a dishwasher. Please provide the correct model number. Usually the best way to test a control board is power in and power out. Make sure you have proper power going to the control board. IF you have proper power to the control and no power going out of board to whatever component you are running the board is bad. IF you are pressing the button and nothing happens then the touch pad or control is bad. Or the touch panel and control could be sold as one piece/part.

Hello
I would run the unit through the diagnostic mode on page #27 in the service manual. The mode shiftier is very common for this model on a no agitate symptom. See all technician diagnostics below. Matt Ace technician

Hi. As long as there is nothing causing the drum to not spin freely then you have a weak motor. This is common and I have seen it many times before. You will need to replace the motor to fix this issue.

Hi. that is strange you still the the f7 error after replacing both the sensor and board. Test both the broil and bake elements to make sure they read good. MAke sure nothing is shorted to ground and that you do not have any burnt or damaged wiring. Make sure you’re not dropping voltage and that your power cord is not loose at the outlet or the terminal block. I have attached a service manual on a similar unit. I could not find your exact model.

Hi. I have attached a tech sheet on a similar unit for you. This is what I found for the E04 error on your unit:
Condition: Door lock relay won’t activate
Check/Repair: Unplug the washer for 3 minutes to reset the control module. If the code returns after you plug it back in, replace the control module.

Hi. I have attached a bulletin for the frost build up around the ice maker. I have also attached the tech sheet for you. The frost could be causing all of your trouble. Is the auger in the ice bucket able to spin freely? Is the auger motor froze up? The solenoid for crushed/ cubed could be frosted up too. Does it dispense water? Are you getting water to the Ice maker when you cycle it manualy?

Hi. That is strange that the compressor and condenser fan motor still are not working after you replaced those parts. I can not think of anything else on this unit that would control power to these components. Did you program the new board correctly after replacing it? Go through the programing mode again to be sure the correct code is entered. I have attached the tech sheet for you. Go into diagnostic mode and run test 102 for the compressor and condenser fan. See if they come on. If not check for power to theses components. You can also check from the control board. The wiring diagram on the tech sheet will show you where. You may have a loose connection or made wiring. does the evap fan motor run?

Hi. I have attached the tech sheet, a bulletin, and 2 repair videos on this unit for you. There is only this one bulletin out for this unit. The repair videos are for similar but not exact models.

Hi. Check you element, t-stats, and fuses. Make sure you are getting proper voltage to the unit. You could only be getting 120V which is enough for the unit to run but not heat. You need 240 v to heat. If all of that checks good you could have a bad control board. I have attached a tech sheet on a similar unit. try to run diagnostics and see if you get any error codes.

Hi. Is the unit running non stop and not getting the proper temperatures? If so you could have a sealed system issue as long as all fans and the compressor are running. It could be a leak in the system or a faulty compressor. You can look at the frost pattern on the evaporator and see if it is even or not. This will also indicate a sealed system issue if you do not have a proper frost pattern. You say your pressures are good, which would indicate there is not a sealed system issue. If the unit seems to turn on and off properly but not at the right temps, you could have a thermistor/ board issue. Also, check your air flow. I have attached the service manual for you. See if you have any error codes and run the diagnostics. Good luck!
