Service Manual.see pg 10+ for DC testing/wiring diagrams
CLIMATE CONTROL HEATER
To check the switch, disconnect the wires and do a continuity check.
In the OFF position, there should be no continuity.
In the ON position, there should be a continuity reading.
To check the heater itself, do an ohms resistance reading on the heater wire by using a properly calibrated ohm meter.
The proper ohms reading is 24 ohms +/-10%.
The approximate amp draw is less than .5 (1/2)amp
3A DC fuse on lower board protects ALL of the DC circuits....board, upper display, thermostat/thermistor, gas solenoid etc
As for WHICH model you have...look at decal on fridge door and/or freezer lower door frame
