Service Manual Function The Electronic NF refrigerator is a no-frost refrigerator with two compartments, namely the freezer and the fridge compartment, which is cooled by a no-frost evaporator and a tail evaporator that are serially connected to each other and controlled by a microprocessor. All functions and temperature controls of the refrigerator are made in accordance with the desire of the user thanks to the microprocessor.
Service Manual When a number of fridge cooling cycles or fridge cooling real time elapses, fridge defrost decision is taken. If there is any fridge evaporator sensor failure (E2), fridge defrost is not performed. Also, in cases where the compressor runs 100% for a long time (100Comp_max_operatingTime), if the fridge evaporator sensor value is colder than a certain limit value, fridge defrost is made.
Service Manual Flange, DID, dispenser, water pipe heaters 12 – 14 seconds (45 W ± 10 %) All components 1 second OFF Compressor (AVK) 15 – 20 seconds (180 W) In case of initial start-up after the functional test, the compressor goes on running; other components operate in accordance with the factory setting values (-18, 4, water selected).
Service Manual Eco-Fuzzy (special economy function) Eco-Fuzzy function is activated when the Eco-Fuzzy button is pressed. If the door of the fridge compartment is kept closed for a long time when this function is selected, the fridge compartment will switch to a more economic value and keep on running. When the Eco-Fuzzy button is pressed again, this function is deactivated.
Service Manual 6.14 Setting the water amount for the Icematic Factory default setting is 5 sec. for water intake. “Water/Ice Type” button is pressed for 3 seconds within the first 30 seconds of the start-up to enter into adjustment mode. (Buzzer sounds for 1 sec.) In this mode, the current water intake time flashes in the fridge section, segment 7.
Service Manual Service test Service test mode is entered by pressing the “Dispenser Led” and “Ice Off” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds within the first 30 seconds after energizing. All leds: 0.5 seconds ON, 0.5 seconds OFF. The freezer set digits show the software version number and the fridge set digit shows the software revision number once any button is pressed.

Service Manual Structural parts of the refrigerator Water and ice dispenser To remove the dispenser frame, first of all lift the frame up by placing a fine-headed screwdriver into the gaps under it. Then, pull it towards yourself by holding it from both sides and take it out. Remove the two screws under the display by means of a Phillips screwdriver to take out the display.
Service Manual Icematic To remove the Icematic assembly, first of all remove the whole freezer cover, tray and ice box assembly as shown in the figure. Then, remove the socket lid by the aid of a Phillips screwdriver and take out the sockets. After removing the water pipes which are shown in the middle figure below and which are located on the upper left corner of the refrigerator, hold the Icematic assembly at the upper side, pull it towards you and take it out.
Service Manual Ice stock drive assembly When we remove the ice stock drive assembly, we will see 2 bolts on the side wall of inner reservoir. We will remove them by means of a fillister head screwdriver. There are 2 more bolts holding the decorative cover when the reservoir is turned upside down and as we remove these too, we will see the ice crusher section which is also fitted by 2 screws.
Service Manual Then the arm going to the ice crusher will be pulled from its tabs and separated from its housing to remove it. Result can be reached by performing the installation operations in the reverse order. Ice drive motor assembly 4 screws are holding the ice drive motor assembly.
Service Manual Now, only the sockets connecting the motor to the solenoid and the ground cable on the socket are left. After taking them out, the ice crusher piston assembly is also removed from its housing for servicing. The ice drive motor assembly can also be reassembled by following the same operations in reverse order. Freezer fan The freezer fan is seated in its housing.
Service Manual Home freezer (HF) When service is given to the HF section, the HF cover is removed first. One of the pins at the left and right holding the cover in its place is removed to take out the cover. The rest of the HF section is first pressed downwards and then pulled towards yourself to complete removing operation.
Service Manual 9.10 Freezer lower evaporator cover The freezer lower evaporator cover is also removed by pulling towards yourself from top in the same way. When attaching it, the lower side is seated first, then the 1 pc screw which connects it to the other cover is removed.
Service Manual 9.12 Lower ventilation cover The lower ventilation cover is seated under the refrigerator as to have its spaces align with the front legs. Then, it is fastened by means of the 3 reverse screws holding it. Removing is performed in reverse order. 9.13 Water valve - Jug and tap connections The water valve is a blue piece at the compressor zone.
Service Manual 9.14 Attaching and removing the control circuit board connector Display connector Power connector 1 Sensor connector Power connector 2 9.15 Servicing the drain heater At the factory a drain heater is stuck on the refrigerator before the polyurethane. In cases where the drain heater fails to work, the heater supplied from the service is adhered to the drain channel area to give service to the refrigerator.
Service Manual Troubleshooting and failure identification Problem Possible cause Solution Noise The operation noise Storage capacities of today's No-Frost It is normal and not a fault. increases when the refrigerators have been increased and they refrigerator is running. can work under lower temperatures. Vibrations or noise.
Page 53
Service Manual Problem Possible cause Solution Compressor is not running The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically defrosting refrigerator. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically. The appliance is not plugged into the Make sure that the plug is properly fit into socket.
Page 54
Service Manual Problem Possible cause Solution Ice cube formation is slow. Freezer compartment door is not closed Check the door closing. properly or freezer compartment is used very frequently. Temperature control of freezer compartment Reduce the set temperature of the freezer is not set cold enough.
Service Manual Installing the wall spacer Wrong Correct on the left hand corner Changing the evaporator sensor Evaporator sensor with thick insulation, spare-part no. 441830 Air sensor without insulation, spare-part no. 441831 Before After Procedure Cut off the old sensor cable and remove 40 - 50 mm of the insulation material.

Service Manual Cut 4 to 5 mm off the thin cables. Connect the new sensor and the cables. Replace the insulations. Use hot air to shrink them. For internal use only...
Service Manual All the evaporator sensor insulations must be shrunk with hot air. Icematic sensor problem Several parts must be replaced in order to ensure that the cables of the icematic sensor (spare-part no. 440084) are not deformed, because the cable does not fit through the cable holder below the ice box. Instead it is lead between the icematic and the evaporator cover, without getting into the cable holder below the ice box.
