    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Kitchen Aid model no KSBS25FKBL02 compressor won't start. All fans on.  All compressor windings good at 6.5 ohms. Input to inverter board from control board reads 3.33 VDC. Is this too low? What can I do to isolate between control or inverter boards?

I don't think that reading is to low. If I remember correctly it should be between 3-6vdc. Did you check to make sure the inverter board gets 120vdc? Also, check each compressor pin to one of the copper lines. Make your meter reads OL. 

Some whirlpool inverter boards have a diagnostic LED that blinks a code. See if your blinks.

Sure enough it was the inverter box . Fridge works fine now. The video said 4-6 VDC input which is why I thought it was too low. The spec for this one at least is 3-6 VDC. . Thanks for all the help!!
