Check the speaker wire as it enters the cabinet that houses the speaker. In my unit, the left side speaker (as you face the cabinet) had a staple sticking through the wire sheathing causing a short. The staple was tucked in the far corner and too difficult to see. The only way I found it was by gently pulling up on the wire, allowing the staple and wire to free up. The short was corrected once I removed the staple.

Another source of speaker failure is in the bullet-type connectors inside the lower refrigerator bay. Every now and then my left side speaker would cut out. Moving the bullet connector caused the speaker to cut in and out.

Good luck with your trace.
