10-4 How to check the Fan-Error
(1) EBR650027**
After sending a signal to the fan, the MICOM checks the BLDC fan
motor s lock status. If there is no feedback signal from the BLDC fan,
the fan motor stops for 10 seconds and then is powered again for 15
seconds. To determine that there is a fan motor malfunction,
this process is repeated 3 times. If the fan motor is determined to be
defective, the error code will be shown in the display for 30 minutes.
At this point, the process will be repeated until the fan motor operates
normally. If normal operation is achieved, the error display is erased and
the MICOM is reset automatically.
No signal Repeat

Function Sheath heater is a part for defrost. All heating wire is connected to only one line. To check if
the part is defective, check the resistance.
How to
Measure
(1) (2)
Set a ohmmeter connect to The 2 housing pin.
Measure the 2 pin connected to Sheath Heater.
If the ohmmeter indicate (V°øV)/Watt=R is good condition,
ex) when watt=350w, voltage=115v R=(115°ø115)/350=38Ω
But if the ohm meter indicate infinity the Sheath heater is bad.

To reduce noise level, the piston stroke is slowly increased to full power during start up.
There are 6 protection logics designed to protect the linear compressor system. When a failure is detected,
the compressor will shut and will try to restart after a set period of time for each type of failure. The LED
located on the inverter drive PCB will flash the appropriate code to indicate the detected failure. This code will
continue to flash until the unit is disconnected from the power source.

The Voltage Multiplying circuit then increases the 115V DC to 230V DC.
Then the IPM (Intelligent Power Module) converts the 230V DC to 230V AC.
The converted AC power can be regulated to any required voltage and frequency.

There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal Home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned
every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

13-2 ICE MAKER FUNCTIONS
13-3-1 Icemaker not making ice or not making enough ice (Environmental Diagnosis)
Icemaker can’t make ices itself. Basically, water, temperature and time are needed.
- Water : If no Water, then no Ice.
- Temperature : The compartment, where the icemaker is located, has to be at least 1°F so that icemaker dumps ices to
the bin.
- Time : At least 80 minutes must be passed to make one series of ices after water comes into icemaker.
Test Mode should not be carried out before checking below.
Is measured 1. Does cold air come out from air vent normally? Check if Icing fan is working.
temperature below 10°F No Check if multi duct is blocked.
2. Are the R & F room cold enough? Measure the temp. and Check gas leakage
in the icemaker
at the back.
compartment 3. Does icemaker compartment door close tightly?
Time Yes
How long has customer 1. At least 120min. must be passed to make ices after water comes into icemaker.
No
waited for icemaker to 2. At least 24 hours must be passed to have ice bin full of ices. (not in case of
make ices? installation)
If the issue haven’t resolved yet, though you have checked all the items above, go to next step.

2st STEP (Ice-detecting sensor Diagnosis)
1. Remove Ice bin from compartment 2. Close the left door 3. Wait for 3min.
(Door switch pushed)
If“ETY”is shown on the display after the procedure above, Ice-detecting sensor is normal.
If“FULL”is shown on the display after the procedure above, Ice-detecting sensor is abnormal.
ETY = empty
13-3-3 Icemaker not making ice or not making enough ice (Other Suspected Items)
Strongly suspect items below If the issue remains yet, though all the diagnosis for icemaker has been carried out.
- Cap duct bad sealing
- Defective thermal sensor in the icemaker compartment
- Not cold icemaker compartment area (sealed system)

14-1-11 Ice PLUS
1. The purpose of this function is to intensify the cooling speed of freezer and to increase the amount of ice.
2. Whenever selection switch is pressed, selection/release, the Icon will turn ON or OFF.
3. If there is a power outage and the refrigerator is powered on again, Ice PLUS will be canceled.
4. To activate this function, press the Ice PLUS key and the Icon will turn ON. This function will remain activated for 24 hrs.
The first one hour the compressor, Freezer Fan and Icing Fan will be ON. The next 23 hours the Ice room will be
controlled at the lowest temperature. After 24 hours or if the Ice PLUS key is pressed again, the Ice room will return to its
previous temperature.
5. During the first hour :
(1) Compressor, Freezer Fan and Icing Fan run continuously.
(2) If a defrost cycle begins during the first 30 minutes of Ice Plus, the Ice PLUS cycle will complete its cycle after
defrosting has ended.
If the defrost cycle begins when Ice Plus has run for more than 30 minutes, Ice PLUS will run for 40 minutes after the
defrost is completed.
(3) If Ice PLUS is pressed during defrost, Ice Plus Icon is on but this function will start seven minutes after defrost is
completed and it shall operate for three hours.
(4) If Ice Plus is selected within seven minutes after compressor has stopped, the compressor (compressor delays
seven minutes) shall start after the balance of the delay time.
6. For the rest of the 23 hours, the Ice room will be controlled at the lowest temperature.

14-1-13 Defrosting (removing frost)
1. Defrosting starts each time the COMPRESSOR running time Betwee 7~50 hours.
2. For initial power on or for restoring power, defrosting starts when the compressor running time reaches 4 hours.
3. Defrosting stops if the sensor temperature reaches 46.4°F(8°C) or more. If the sensor doesn’t reach 46.4°F(8°C) in 1
hours, the defrost mode is malfunctioning. (Refer to the defect diagnosis function, 8-1-15.)
4. Defrosting won’t function if its sensor is defective (wires are cut or short circuited)
* Display check function: If simultaneously pressing Ultra Ice button and freezing temperature adjustment button for a
second, display LCD graphics on. If releasing the button, the LCD graphic displays the previous
status.
You can check the error code Within 3-hour Period from initial error
