7-2 ICE MAKER FUNCTIONS 7-2-1 Ice Making Mode 1. Icemaking refers to the freezing of supplied water in the ice trays. Complete freezing is assured by measuring the temperature of the Tray with icemaking SENSOR. 2. Icemaking starts after completion of the water fill operation. 3.
7-2-5 Function TEST 1. This is a compulsory operation for test, service, cleaning, etc. It is operated by pressing and holding the Cube Size button for 3 seconds. 2. The test works only in the Icemaking Mode. It cannot be entered from the Harvest or Fill mode. (If there is an ERROR, it can only be checked in the TEST mode.) 3.
8. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION & CIRCUIT OF MICOM 8-1 FUNCTION 8-1-1 Function 1. When the appliance is plugged in, it is set to "4" for Refrigerator and "4" for freezer. You can adjust the Refrigerator and the Freezer control temperature by pressing the ADJUST button. 2.

8-1-5 Alarm for Open Door 1. This feature sounds a buzzer when the freezer or refrigerator door is not closed within 1 minute after it is opened. 2. One minute after the door is opened, the buzzer sounds three times each for 1/2 seconds. These tones repeat every 30 seconds.
Page 22
8-1-9 Defect Diagnosis Function 1. Automatic diagnosis makes servicing the refrigerator easy. 2. When a defect occurs, the buttons will not operate; but the tones. such as ding. will sound. 3. When the defect CODE removes the sign, it returns to normal operation (RESET). 4.
Page 23
8-1-10 TEST Mode 1. The Test mode allows checking the PCB and the function of the product as well as finding out the defective part in case of an error. 2. The test mode is operated by pressing two buttons at Display panel. 3.
8-2 PCB FUNCTION 8-2-1 Power Circuit The secondary part of the TRANSFORMER is composed of the power supply for the display, the BLDC FAN Motor drive (15.5 V), the relay drive (12 Vdc) and the MICOM and IC (5 Vdc). The voltage for each part is as follows: PART VA 1...
