Defrost Condenser Temperature Trouble KSSS KSCS Refrigerators. Time for another quality blog from FixYourBoard.com! Whirlpool Corporation and its subsidiaries (Kitchenaid, Jenn-air, etc) have heavily used this control board in their refrigerators. However, it is failing at a high rate and is also now obsolete.  Lists of relevant part numbers and model numbers are available at the end of this article.
Your refrigerator may seem fine most of the time, but you get a sense that it’s on the way out. The refrigerator may act unreliable with intermittent operation of various features or warming temperatures. This behavior is likely due to a failing power supply on the refrigerator’s control board. Other common failures due to this board are that the condenser fan won’t run and the defrost heater doesn’t work. The objective of this blog is to help identify if the control board is the source of your refrigerator’s problems. If you determine the board is faulty, visit www.FixYourBoard.com to send it in for repair. It will be remanufactured and returned good as new – at a fraction of the cost of buying a new part or model!
You’ll want to have DC voltmeter handy. The built-in refrigerators usually house the control board in the top of the unit, and it is relatively easy to access from the front side. You can easily reference  the schematic of your refrigerator at www.appliancepartspros.com with your model number. This will enable you to see where the control board is located in your unit. Always remember to cut the breaker to your appliance before taking it apart! Once you have access to the board and can comfortably probe it with your voltmeter, be sure to keep all the connections in place and throw the breaker back on. Below is an image of the control board with highlights of the necessary measurements. Your board will still have all the wires connected, but you can still stick your meter probes down into the sockets alongside the wires.
First, measure the DC voltage across pins 9 and 11 on the P7 wiring connector. The meter should read right around 12VDC. Now, on the main control panel, press and hold the filter reset button and then immediately press and hold the power button.  Holding both in simultaneously for few seconds should send the refrigerator into Service Diagnostic Mode. Press the ‘temperature scroll up’ button until you are in Mode 4. Repeat the above measurement. If either the first or second measurements yield a reading less than 11.5 VDC, the power supply circuit in the control board is faulty and will need to be repaired. Go to www.FixYourBoard.com, click on the ‘How it Works’ tab, print out the shipping form, and send it in!
Hope this helps resolve your home refrigeration issues!
