840653 USING ALTERNATE ENERGY GENERATION One of the big benefits of the Inverter drive motor technology found in CoolDrawer is that the motor is very efficient in its energy usage. If running a CoolDrawer from alternate energy sources is being considered, the following is a brief collection of facts and field observations to assist in making any decisions.
840653 Do Fisher and Paykel recommend a brand and model of inverter to use? - No. Due to the large number of brands and models, it is impractical, not to mention inappropriate, for us to attempt to approve or disapprove the use of any particular inverter. We simply recommend that everything possible is done to ensure any inverter used complies with the preceding technical recommendations.
840653 USER OPTIONS User Interface Display Icons & Symbols The following icons and symbols can be seen on the user display. Listed below is a short description of each and what they do. Special Options Mode Control Beeps Fault Alarm/ (Service required) Lock Temperature Adjustment...
840653 5.1.1 Lock The Lock mode disables the control panel so that the storage environment cannot accidentally be changed. The display will automatically lock after 15 seconds of the display not being used or whenever the drawer is closed. The red lock icon will appear above the Lock button when the panel is locked. To use the Lock mode: •...
840653 To de-activate earlier than 80 hours, press and hold the LOCK and MODE SELECT buttons for 3 seconds.

840653 5.1.8 Function Select Additional Freezer Functions (only active once Freezer mode is selected). 5.1.8.1 Bottle Chill Mode This function allows the user to rapidly chill their beverages in the freezer without the worry of forgetting about them. Activating Bottle Chill drops the freezer down to its coldest setting for a 15 minute time period.
840653 THE REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT The compressor discharges high pressure, high temperature gas into the water evaporator tray coil, into the throat condenser circuit, through the fan forced condenser, through the back panel condenser, then through the condenser circuits in the sides of the cabinet before finally entering the filter drier, which is mounted vertically in the unit compartment.
840653 COMPONENTS Cabinet This is of modular construction having an injection-moulded base with separate wall panels that independently lock into an extrusion forming a cabinet frame for the inner and outer surfaces. The CoolDrawer fits into a kitchen cabinet having two rails that lock it into place, with side trims placed between the drawer and cabinet.
840653 Evaporator Outlet Sensor (Colour Yellow) Located on the outlet side of the evaporator, this measures the temperature of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator. Filter Drier Sensor This is attached to the filter drier and is used to measure the temperature of the refrigerant entering the filter. These measurements are used to control the backpressure and the speed of the compressor at certain ambients in which the VC compressor may be running.
840653 7.11 Water Evaporation Tray This tray is not removable for cleaning and has part of the compressor discharge circuit running through it, to assist in the evaporation of the water from the defrosting of the evaporator. For cleaning, refer to Section 12.4.
840653 Control & Peripheral Functions The control system consists of the power/control module located alongside the water evaporation tray in the front edge of the drawer cabinet. The cabinet module is located on the back wall of the produce compartment and connects to various sensors and actuators controlled by the power/control module. The function and brief description of each of these units is defined in Section 8.1.1.
840653 8.1.4 Cabinet Module Located behind a cover on the rear wall of the compartment, this is the hub for feed back from the soft touch display module and compartment drawer reed switch and is the power source for the drawer LEDs. Cabinet Module 8.1.5 Display Module/User Interface...
840653 8.1.7 Auxiliary Heater Element This element is located directly below the evaporator fan, where it provides heat to the area of the evaporator drain during defrost. The element is of the aluminium sleeve type containing a thermal fuse in each end. It has a 15 watt maximum current rating and is controlled by Pulse Width Modulation to achieve 10 watts and runs in parallel with the evaporator defrost element.
840653 8.1.10 Interior LED Lights These are used to illuminate the interior of the drawer when it is opened, and are located on the back face of the drawer front. They consist of three LEDs mounted on a printed circuit board and connected to the wiring harness by means of a plug.
840653 8.1.13 Reed Switch The reed switch is located on the back wall and in line with the right hand drawer slide, which contains a magnet. The reed switch is encapsulated within a plastic housing, which is clipped under the plastic covers on the back wall.
840653 COMPRESSOR The CoolDrawer is fitted with a variable capacity compressor (VCC). This improves energy efficiency and maintains a more stable temperature within the compartment. The compressor windings are wired in a 3 phase star formation with the resistance between any two pins being the same. Compressor Overload The VC compressor is protected by an overload mounted under the compressor terminal cover.
840653 Fault Finding 9.3.1 Quick Guide To Fault Finding With VC Compressors Turning the product off, then on again, resets the control algorithm and it will always try and start the compressor after 30 seconds when the power supply is switched back on. This is a reliable way of getting the electronics to try and start the compressor when fault finding.
840653 9.3.2 Compressor Fault Diagnosis 9.3.2.1 Compressor Won't Start - Dead The compressor can be tested from the front of the cabinet by removing the 5 way Rast edge connector from the power controller. There are two black coloured wires to the overload and three wires (red, blue and yellow) to the compressor windings.
840653 FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE 10.1 Fault Display Codes (Both Visual And Audible) If a fault should develop in the temperature measurement system, a fault code will be shown automatically on the display and the fault audio alarm will sound when the drawer is opened. The alarm consists of a number of beeps emitted by the beeper located on the power/control module.

840653 12.7 Pressure Testing Of The Refrigeration System The use of the in-line pressure gauge can speed up and eliminate the incorrect diagnosis of a leak within a refrigeration system. In some cases it has been found to be the services manifold that was being used that was leaking and not the system.
840653 12.8 Transporting Of The CoolDrawer Prior to installation: It is recommended that the CoolDrawer is transported in its own packaging carton in an upright, or sitting on its base with the drawer front taped closed. This type of product should not be transported on its back or on the right hand end (compressor down wards).
