ICEMAKER AND DISPENSER WORKING PRINCIPLES AND REPAIR

2-5 Test Function
1. It is to force the operation during operation test, service, and cleaning. The test switch is mounted under the automatic
icemaker. The test function starts when the test switch is pressed for more than 1/2 second.
2. Test button does not work during ice ejection and water supply. It works when it is in the horizontal conditions. If mold is
full of ice during test function operation, ice ejection control and water supply control do not work.
3. If the mold is in the horizontal (normal) position and the TEST switch is pressed for more than
1/2 second, ice ejection will begin regardless of how frozen the water might be. When the ejection is completed, the
icemaker will refill the mold with water. Consequently, problems related to filling, ejecting, and returning to the horizontal
position can be checked using the test switch. When this test is performed, the buzzer will sound and water will fill the
mold. Check the icemaker for repair if the buzzer does not sound.
4. When water supply is completed, the cycle operates normally as follows: Icemaking ¡ Ice ejection ¡ Returning to
horizontal conditions ¡ Water supply
5. Remove ice from the icemaker cube mold and press test switch when icemaker cube mold is full of ice as ice ejection and
water supply control do not work when cube mold is full of ice.
