    VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

    Door position Voltage (6-7) Error detecting
    Vent 0.3 ± 0.15V Low voltage: 0.1V or less
    Defrost 4.7 ± 0.15V High voltage: 4.9V or more

    * It will feedback current position of actuator to controls.

  6. If the measured voltage is not specification, substitute with a known-good console temp control actuator and check for proper operation.
  7. If the problem is corrected, replace the console temp control actuator.
