EVAPORATOR
Defrost Cycle
The defrost process resets every time power is disconnected to the refrigerator. The cycle is controlled through the
microprocessor on the motherboard.
After the first 4 hours of compressor run time, the refrigerator will start a defrost cycle. When the temperature of
defrost sensor reaches 7°C / 45°F, the refrigerator will exit the defrost status. In the defrost status, the compressor
is off and the dampers of fresh food compartment and convertible compartment are closed. The defrost cycle ends
after the heater has been off for an additional 7 minutes.
At the end of the defrost cycle, the compressor will restart. After 5 minutes the evaporator fan motor will restart,
recirculating air within the freezer compartment only. After an additional 3 minutes the
Fresh Food and Drawer dampers will open.
If there is a failure within the defrost circuit (heater, thermal fuse, sensor) the refrigerator will not enter
into the defrost mode.
If defrost heating works for 120 minutes and the temperature of the defrost sensor will not reach 7°C / 45°F, the
defrost heating will be turned off and ED will be displayed on the door display.
