3.0 Description of appliance

The IGN 2556/2566 is a NoFrost freezer using a series 6 control system with actual value display.
The appliance has a lamellar evaporator with fan and integrated defrost heater. Two sensors, an air sensor and
an evaporator sensor, see to the control and automatic defrosting. A safety temperature limiter protects the
appliance against excessively high temperatures during the defrosting phase.
The IGN 2566 is equipped with an IceMaker.

Electronic control system
Type: Series 6 electronic control system

Components: Electronic single-board solution

4.1.2 Freezer compartment

Electronic control system
Setting range: -14°C to -28°C

Display range: 0°C to -49°C

Values outside the range are indicated by a cross bar
Functions
Temperature alarm: Alarm value: 4K warmer than set value.
Warmest alarm value: -10 °C
Coldest alarm value: -20 °C
Delay: 20 minutes
Visual: Flashing alarm LED
Audible: 4 beeps (suppressed during start-up)
During start-up: The temperature display flashes until the switch-off
value is reached, the audible alarm is switched OFF.
(e.g. given a set value of -18°C, a temperature of –14°C must be present for at
least 20 minutes, then a temperature alarm is raised.)
When the defrosting phase begins, the temperature alarm is suppressed for
1.5 hrs.

Defrosting: ON: - During start-up after 6 hours cumulative compressor

running time.
- After a cumulative compressor running time of 10 to 30 hours
maximum, depending on the number/duration of the door
openings.

When the defrosting phase begins, the compressor and the fan are
switched OFF and the defrost heater is switched ON.

Duration: The defrost heater remains switched ON until

- the freezer compartment evaporator sensor has reached +32°C
or
- a max. defrosting time of 50 minutes has been reached.

Info: After the end of the heating phase the compressor is switched ON
with a 15-minute delay. Fan ON, from -25°C.
If the SuperFrost function is activated during the defrosting phase,
this will not interrupt defrosting.

Door alarm: When: If door is open, after 60 seconds.

Audible: 3 beeps.

Page 5/21
Service Information No. 01/2008 IGN 2556/2566

SuperFrost: ON: Freezer compartment sets itself to -32°C (quantity-controlled, min.

30 hrs., max. 65 hrs.)
The appliance sets itself to -32°C for at least 30 hours. In the
following 35 hours cooling by 11K to the set value must have been
reached or a total time of 65 hours must have elapsed in order that
SuperFrost is automatically ended.
OFF: The freezer compartment sets itself to the set value.
Note: If SuperFrost is actuated during a defrosting phase, the SuperFrost
function is not performed before the defrosting phase has run.
Sensor
Air sensor: Position: Behind the front panel of the evaporator module.
Function: - Switches the compressor ON/OFF.
- Generates the display value.

Evaporator sensor: Position: Slipped into the lamellar evaporator.

Function: - Switches the defrost heater OFF (ends the defrosting phase).
- Switches the fan ON/OFF.

Defrost heater: Position: Clipped into lamellar evaporator

Function: Keeps the evaporator free from ice. Activation via electronic control
system.
Defrost heater ON:
- Depending on the number and duration of door openings, the
electronic system calculates the defrost cycles between 10-30
hours cumulative compressor running time.
- Upon start-up after 6 hours cumulative
compressor running time.
Defrost heater OFF:
- When the evaporator sensor has reached +32°C
- When max. time of 50 minutes is exceeded.
Heater cannot be replaced Æonly complete evaporator module!

Compressor: Type: VCC compressor, frequency-controlled.

Function: ON: Air sensor switch-on value
Note: On-delay time (8 minutes) must have elapsed.
OFF: Air sensor switch-off value.

VCC compressor, frequency-controlled.

• Compressor with 4 different speeds (1600 / 1900 / 3000 / 3600 rpm).
• The inverter electronic control is fitted directly on the compressor. The inverter
electronic control controls the compressor with a pulse-width modulated
square-wave voltage.
• For speed value input, the inverter electronic module receives a square wave
frequency signal from the power PCB.
This frequency signal is output with 56, 71, 87,100 or 117 Hz, depending on
the speed at which the compressor is to run.

• Runtime longer than 70 minutes:

Speed increase by one step during compressor operation.

• Runtime shorter than 40 minutes:

Speed reduction on next start-up.

8.2.2 Checking the compressor

Fault profile: Compressor does not run (even after a waiting time of 90 seconds)
Select step 6 (compressor ON) in the service menu under "7.3 service mode". If the compressor now
starts there was probably an operator error. Otherwise proceed as described below.
At the inverter, line voltage (230V) must be applied between N and 1/C.

Replace inverter electronic module.

If the compressor still does not run,
replace the compressor.
Then replace the inverter back again.
