How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing TriMode components.

Step 1 – Confirm settings:

  • Verify that the mode change is accepted on the display and that no alarms are present.

Step 2 – Check fan and airflow:

  • Listen for the TriMode fan when the compressor runs; replace the fan if it does not operate.

Step 3 – Inspect valve/damper:

  • Access the TriMode air valve or damper and check for movement during a mode change.
  • If stuck, replace the actuator assembly.

Step 4 – Sensor and control:

  • Test the TriMode sensor and replace if faulty; if all hardware is good, the main control board may need replacement.
