6. Circuit and checking 6.2 Mainboard 6.2.1 Checking method If the problem is probably caused by mainboard, check it directly to confirm. 6.2.2 Removing the mainboard 1. Unplug the appliance. 2. Remove the screw of electric box cover by screwdriver, as picture 1. 3.
6. Circuit and checking 6.3 Display panel 6.3.1 Basic parameters Rated voltage: DC5V Rated power: 0.5w 6.3.2 Checking method 1. Check the connecting wiring between display panel and mainboard. Pin No.1 to No.4 of CN6 connector on the mainboard is connected to display panel.
6. Circuit and checking 6.4 Fan motor 6.4.1 Basic parameters Rated voltage: DC12V Rated input power: 2W 6.4.2 Checking method . Check the connecting wiring of fan motor is well or not, repair if it is broken. The freezer fan motor corresponding pin No.3~5 on CN4 connector of mainboard, 2.Pin No.4 connect 12V power and pin No.5 connect GND, if the freezer fan motor works normally, change the mainboard;...
6. Circuit and checking 6.5 Defrost heater 6.5.1 Basic parameters Input voltage: AC 230V Rated power: 100W 6.5.2 Checking method 1. Enter compulsory defrost mode, use a multimeter to measure the voltage between pin No.1 and No.4 on CN2 connector of the mainboard, if the voltage isn’t equal to electric supply power, it means the mainboard is broken, change 2.
6. Circuit and checking 6.6.2 Checking method se a multimeter to measure resistance between the two terminals of the temperature fuse, if it is open circuit, change the defrost heater (The fuse is integrated with the defrost heater). 6.6.3 Removing the temperature fuse The same as removing the defrost heater.
6. Circuit and checking 1. Unplug the appliance. 2. Referring to the picture 1 to picture 6 of the way of removing fan motor, then pull and take out the wind channel components as picture 1, take out the top wind channel foam as picture 2.
6. Circuit and checking short circuit; when the freezer door is open, the two pins should be open circuit. If the result is abnormal, Use small iron sheet or small magnet to touch the door liner area shown as picture 1, circled in red: if the sheet or magnet they can’t be gravitated toward to door liner, replace the door, or change the door switch.
