I have found service manual for a similar model ZISS420DR (PUB # 31-9117) in Pot Luck but it does not mention xxxxxxxDM (year 2002) models. Would these two have exactly  the SAME Diagnostic Mode test sequence??? Thank you

Ok... follow along on a typical journey and watch what we do to make this determination... it may help you in the future....

First thing I check is to see if the model number break down in the manual you found explains the meaning of that letter and whether it makes a difference.... and as you stated... D stands for 2002 and M stands for 2004....would they have the same diagnostic procedure?

So I check a parts diagram and compare the two models and find they have a slightly different variation in mainboard (2004 model is an inverter model) but they use the same user interface... therefore, since they are GE's eith the same interface I know they will have the same diagnostic procedure. How do I know this? Well, I always have my handy GE Fridge survival Kit http://appliantology.org/blog/1/entry-730-ge-refrigerator-repair-survival-kit/ (and if you work on GE fridges, there is no reason you don't always have it as well)

One of the manuals in the kit is the Diagnostic Mode Manual for Mutiple GE Models..... it not only shows that GE models with the same user interface uses the same diagnostic procedure but lo and behold.. it actually covers your model.

Then out of pure curiosity, I decided to recheck the download section.... I searched for "GE Monogram" and after looking at the search list, a couple of items jumped out at me.... guess what I found? Three guesses? Well, what are you waiting for.... go take a look youself.

So you see, we go through quite an exercise to answer such a question... it doesn't take any special knowledge, just a little work, patience and some sleuthing, give it a shot and next time you maybe able to find your info as well.
