Doug, Last year the recall box light came on steady, and they checked the frig out and just the box was bad. Now the box light is on again steady, sorry fore the wrong info before.....
shop replaced the box and thought that was all it was, then issues with it getting red light on again, now say the control board is the problem? Who knows!
Who Knows? I know as that is what I do for a living. The control box has NOTHING to do with the function of the Recall box. There are 2 ways the recall box is installed. It depends on the Model of the Rear main control module. The older units, the recall is installed BEFORE the 12 volt input to the Main control module. Newer units are wired to terminals inside the Main control module and IF you have that module, you will get the Li-OP display on the inside optical display. Now, as I stated, you ALWAYS replace the Thermocoupler sensor AND the Recall box as a set. If you did not get the Li-OP code, you have the older which has NO connection with the module board. You may have a defective cooling unit and the recall is just doing its job. Sometimes you cannot see the yellow residue as it is inside the burner flue area if you have a leaker. What I would be doing if I had the unit, I would hot wire the 2 120 elements for 24 hours and make sure the rear cooling fans are on or install an extra fan blowing up if they will not come on. If the rear cooling fans do not come on, THAT is part of your problem. The fans are required to operate on a 1200. Doug
