Since I have the fridge on cant I just unplug it in the access panel and it switch to gas automatically to test the voltage at the gas valve and reignitor? I might have to do it a couple of times since it might not stay active long enough to test both. I might just test at the reignitor since I can here the gas valve turn on. I will use the ground lug where the reignitor is grounded for my test. Thanks
Yes you can do that but the voltage is only going to be there for about 3 seconds. You might need someone to help you.
Test your DVM on a dry cell battery or on the fridge 12 volt source to make sure it is reading 12 vdc. Set the DVM to 20 vdc!w
Fridge power on.
Have it on AC.
Pull the plug
You should hear the gas valve click.
Watch the voltage on the gas valve or the IGNITER if you can get on the wire.... You will see it for only 3 seconds or so.
