Hi,
My freezer wasn't freezing and everything melted, including the ice in the ice bin. The issue was intermittent for a while, then it went out altogether. I can hear relays clicking to turn the compressor on from the control board, but it doesn't do anything.
I used this post to check out a few things. Kitchenaid KFIV29PCMS00 not cooling
Rather than 3-6VDC, I'm getting an even 7VDC at the red and black wires at P8 on the control board. I'm also getting an even 7VDC at the red wire harness that plugs into the inverter. I ohmed out each of the three pairings on the compressor and they were a little over 9 ohms each. I also tried the cabinet ground from each compressor terminal and am getting an open circuit.
Is there something else I can test? I'm suspicious of the inverter, but I don't really have an easy way to test it. I called my local repair shop, but it will be a couple of days before they can get out.
Thank you for any help,
Erik
