what were you looking for in the tech sheet, or just trying to replace a missing one...?

I started new post in kitchen forum. 

The manual covers several types of control versions. I was looking for specifics to my model. 

Thanks

Oh yes. And some slob must have stolen the unit's sheet. Not back in machine compartment or behind front grill where it's supposed to be. I even checked hingecovers.

I downloaded the mini-manual that GE shows to be for your unit but it doesn't give a lot of information for diagnostics.

Minimanual upload good to go. Domo for the upload, @Lighthouse!

Thanks guys!

Scott the schematic on the damper says see individual diagram. I don't see any. Do you know what they are referring?

 

 Thanks

They're calling out a break-out diagram for the damper motor that they've thoughtfully omitted. But we can work around it by combing our knowledge of motors with some hints from the service manual:

- The service manual says the damper is a "DC motor" but they don't give us any details

- Since it's a damper, we know it only has two positions: open and closed

- This type of function would not be a BLDC motor but a two-position (two-winding)  stepper motor-- these are most commonly used as damper motors

- Each winding would get 12 VDC depending on whether the board wants the damper to open or closed

- The only remaining trick is figuring out the sequence of the four wires going to the damper. This is trial and error. One way to suss this out is to check the resistance of between the pair-combination of the four damper motor wires. We don't know the spec on the motor winding resistance but we do know that the windings will have about the same resistance. So the pair combination that gives you the same resistance readings are the damper motor windings. There will be only one pair combo that will produce the same resistance readings. I'd start off with Yellow to Red/Black and White/Brown to Blue/Yellow and see if that gives you the same resistance readings.
