Here is the parts break down. http://lookup.appliancevideo.com/lookup/95466/581929
Number 16 on the diagram is a thermal cut off. Looks like this will be the most likely one that is bad. This one looks like it is just behind the front panel, under the burners.
Also, #37 and 23 on this diagram- http://lookup.appliancevideo.com/lookup/95466/1542074/37#37 . I think this one would just cut off power to heat elements for the oven and not the clock. This one is on the rear of the unit.

I think I have found a tech sheet on a unit that is very similar if not the same. I have attached it. I am not finding a damper on the this tech sheet. I have worked on these units before. I think the damper is going to be controlled by the FF T-stat. Make sure the new T-stat is good. IT could have something to do with the adaptive defrost control, but it does not look like it from the wiring diagram. Reset the unit and check your electrical connections and wires.
- Brian, Ace Appliance answered 10 years ago
First thing I would check is the thermal cut off. IF the cut of is good then lets check for power. The appliance manager sends power to the clock/touch panel. We need to check to see if we are getting power to the appliance manager board. There is a test connector which has a r/w and a g wire that come off of the App. manager board we can test at. This might even come to the back panel somewhere where you can test at with out taking it apart. It will have a harness that snaps into the panel possibly. Check for 120V. p5-1 and p5-3 are the test points on the board for this connection. I have attached the tech sheet for you. Let me know what you find

I recommend replacing the gas coils on this unit. It is the most common no heat issue for this model. See links below.

I recommend installing a new defrost heater on this unit. It is very common issue . It is also advisable to do a continuity test before replacing the heater. If you have continuity replace the Defrost timer and defrost thermostat. Unit must be turned off and left to defrost with the doors open for 24 hours before use.See links below.

Sure seems as though the board is not calling for heat although the thermistor measures within tolerance. I would next see if I could determine if the connector plug for the thermistor might have a lose pin connection. I’ve had a couple back out because they were un-seated and also have had a couple where the connection within the plug was just weak enough not to make the pin. When tested with a meter, the force of the probe against the connector makes the connection.I have had a few of these where the motor failed and caused a similar symptom. Another possibility is the centrifugal switch on the motor failing and not the motor itself. Do not rule out the centrifugal switch.

8e error code in the tech sheet says – Check MEMS PCB ,Main PCB & Wire-harness. The MEMS sensor is the vibration sensor, p# DC93-00376D. I have seen and issue with the lower wire harness that usually causes this error code, but it could be the board or sensor as well. The 2 wire harnesses on the unit are DC93-00473A, and DC93-00150C. I’m not sure which one is the lower harness from the parts break down. Searching both, I found no indication anywhere of which one is the lower. They are number 11-7 and 16 on the diagram.

I found some great information on this for you. First one is the full job aid on this ice system and the second is an issue that they may have and testing info. Should be everything you could ask for on this and more!
- Brian, Ace Appliance answered 10 years ago
Yes, it could be something like a broken wire.I did not see a separate start relay anywhere on this one. I still think the most likely part would be the motor. The motor has a start and a run winding. The start winding is working to start it as long as you hold the button and then when you let go it stops because the run winding may be damaged. Like I said before I have never seen or heard of a bad timer causing this to happen, but anything is possible. This unit is a basic dryer and does not have a informative service manual. I have done some digging and found a tech sheet that would be similar to this unit. This would be the sheet that is in the control panel and the only technical information that would be available on this unit.

Hello the LG. LE means that your washer control thinks that the motor is struggling to turn the tub. Now generally this is a false error and isn’t the case at all. But just to make sure, open the door and spin the tub by hand to make sure it spins smoothly. If so, then that means you likely have a common problem where the hall sensor (also known as the RPS sensor) attached to the motor has failed and will need to be replaced because it’s not measuring the motor’s strain properly. If you pull the washer out and unplug the washer, you can remove the screws going into the back access panel and set the access panel off to the side. Remove the bolts holding the rotor and motor onto the tub which are located directly in the middle on the back of the tub. There is a plastic sensor clipped onto the back side of the motor with a few small wires going to it. This is your RPS sensor you need to replace. Attached is a link to the Sensor and a how to replace video… Once again, your model number did not come up when I plugged it in, so I am just going off of my past experience and a very general explanation. If you could provide a valid model that would be helpful…

Have you made sure there is 115 volts to the ice maker plug ? Also have you checked the freezer temperature to make sure it is -1 degrees to +7 degrees ? The ice maker will not harvest if its above +8 degrees due to a thermostat in the ice maker. As far as the auger motor they are hard to turn by hand , is it not functioning when energized ? If not do you have 115 volts to the auger motor ?
- AV Repair Help answered 10 years ago
Hi. I have attached a service manual on a similar unit. I couldn’t find one for your exact unit. At this point I think you have a low voltage issue since you cant get any heat on either setting. This means it could be the control board, door switches, or Bi metal thermostats. I would take an amp draw while running a cycle to see how many amps you are getting. The manual has diagnostic flow charts on the last pages that will be helpful to you.
