TROUBLE SHOOTING 4-2-2) Self-Diagnosis Error (Defective Sensor) - When there is a sensor error, it will light up on the display panel. And, when there is a sensor error upon the initial power on, it will go into the emergency operation mode blinking relevant 7-SEG. - The refrigerator does not stop when there are sensor errors during the operation, but it goes into the emergency operation mode, which is not able to do the normal operation.
TROUBLE SHOOTING 4-2-3) When Alarm Sound continues (Buzzer Sound) 1) When "DingDong" sound continues Start Gap exists Door is closed properly or not Find out any root causes Close well such as being pushed out by food, etc and correct it. There is no water penetration intoDoor S/W.
Page 61
TROUBLE SHOOTING 3) No Buzzer Sound This model has a buzzer affixed on the MAIN PCB. If there is no buzzer sound upon button press, Forced Operation or Door Open, disconnect MAIN PCB and check if the buzzer is damaged or there is any defective soldering. (If it is not a soldering problem, it is recommended replacing MAIN PCB due to difficulties in repairing) It may not be able to check when it is a closed built-in environment and there is lots of noise around.
TROUBLE SHOOTING 4-2-4) When PANEL PCB operates abnormally 1) When PANEL PCB does not light up or partially does Start Refer to Circuit Diagram in The connector at the this manual and check the Freezer upper hinge cover circuit diagram attached on is inserted properly.
TROUBLE SHOOTING 4-2-5) When Fan does not operate - A BLDC Fan Motor is applied to this refrigerator.The BLDC motor runs on DC8~12V. The F-Fan motor runs together with the compressor. But, due to conditions, the F-Fan Motor does not operate. Also, when the ambient temperature is high and the Door is open and closed, the F-Fan operate after one minute.
TROUBLE SHOOTING 4-2-6) Freezer / Fridge Lamp does not light up Caution 1. When replacing the Freezer Lamp, be sure to turn off the power to prevent electric shock. 2. Take care when replacing the incandescent lamp to prevent skin burn. Note When the F-Door is open, its Door S/W will be open.
TROUBLE SHOOTING 4-2-7) When Crush (Crushed Ice) & Cube (Cubed Ice) does not operate well Only for Dispenser models Operation is F-Door Start closing condition. Ice comes out when extracting it. Ice is in the Ice Storage Bin. Ice Off is selected on the Display Panel Check Ice Extraction S/W Check Door S/W...
