The dierence between the o and on temperatures is called the temperature dierential. On most controls,the dierential is xed and, remains constant at all settings.

During the defrost mode, the electronic control monitors the defrost heater operation (heater ON time). Oncethe heater operation is terminated by the Defrost Thermostat, the electronic control will allow a DWELL TIMEbefore initiating the next cooling cycle. Dwell time is the elapsed time from the heater termination until thecooling operation is resumed (approximately 15 minutes). If the Defrost Heater remains on more than 25minutes (or a maximum of 40 minutes), the EDC board will go directly into the cooling mode and bypass theDWELL TIME MODE. This cycle would be considered an Abnormal Defrost.

During the cooling operation, the electronic control monitors door opening times and compressor run times.These times are measured in seconds (1 second of door opening = 286 seconds) and are accumulated untilthey add up to 80 hours of total equivalent compressor run time.

Once 80 hours (4600 minutes) of total equivalent compressor run time is reached, the refrigerator will enterthe Defrost Mode.
