Unplug fridg, remove the 3 pin power connector and note which pins go to the pc board pins def. and line. Put a jumper between the mating pins on the connector, then plug in the fridg, should now defrost
Thanks I Will Try That Tonight And Let You Know If It Works…
Do this test when the compressor is running and supplying power to the connector, just unplug fridg. first.
