2-6. ICE-MAKER Function

- The ICE-MAKER function is an option and the following explains the function of these models.
- The ICE-MAKER is a kit that supplies water on its own, freezes water into ice and stores the ice cubes in the Ice
Container with the capability of making ice automatically without manual controlling
1) ICE-MAKER Components
2) Initial Operations
1. When the power is on, it checks the temperature of the Ice Maker Sensor. If the Ice Maker Sensor
temperature is lower than 0℃, the Ice Maker Heater will be on for 4 minutes. After that, it will run the Initial
Test Mode. If the Ice Maker Sensor temperature is higher than 0℃, it will run the Initial Test Mode right
away.
2. During the Initial Test Mode, it carries out the operation of the Ice Maker Motor and its Heater turns on for
30 seconds.
3. If the Ice Maker Sensor temperature is over 0℃ upon the initial power on, the Water Valve will work for a
second while its Heater is on.
4. The Ice Maker Motor rotates both clockwise and counter clockwise repeatedly. And, when it is sensed as
being at the parallel position (Home) within 6 minutes after the Motor starts operating, its initial operation will
stop and its normal ice making will begin.
5. When it does not sense the parallel position (Home) within 6 minutes after the Motor starts operating, it will
be considered as the Ice Maker defect and its initial operation will stop.
※ Operation upon Ice Maker Defect during the Initialization.
1) Upon the termination of the Initialization due to the Ice Maker Defect, it runs the Initialization again. And, when
the defect is detected during all the set number of times (ex. 3 times), it will stop the Initialization of the Ice Maker.
2) When it is sensed as defect 3 times in a row during the initialization, the Ice Maker does not operate for the
set duration (ex. 3 hours) and it runs the initialization again after a set time period.
