1. Connect battery power to the (1) terminal of the recirculation control motor and connect ground to the (2) and (3) terminals; the recirculation control motor should run smoothly.
2. Disconnect ground from (2) or (3); the recirculation control motor should stop at FRESH or RECIRCULATE.
CAUTION: Never connect the battery in the opposite direction.
NOTE: Don't cycle the recirculation control motor for a long time.
3. If the recirculation control motor does not run in step 1, remove it, and check the recirculation control linkage and door for smooth movement. If the recirculation control linkage and door move smoothly, replace the recirculation control motor.
