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.

12-6-1 Cleaning
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.

If you need to clean the condenser:

● Remove the mechanical cover.
● Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front
surface area of the condenser.
● Replace the mechanical cover.

10-2 ICE MAKER FUNCTIONS

10-2-1 Icemaking Mode

1. Icemaking Mode begins right after the ice tray fills with water.
2. Icemaker waits until water becomes ice in the ice tray.
Ice-detecting sensor checks if the ice bin is full every 2min.

10-2-2 Harvest Mode

At least in 110min, since icemaker begun icemaking mode, Icemaker starts to twist the ice tray to drop ices into the Ice bin.
(After installation, at least 1day is needed to make ices)
If the icemaker never drop ices to the ice bin though water becomes ices in the ice tray, check the real temperature of
compartment. (not temperature on display)
Icemaker needs below 0°F to drop ices to ice bin.

13-2-3 Fill/Park Position

Once the normal harvest mode has been completed, the water solenoid will be activated.

10-3 Trouble Shooting Ice & Water system Issues

10-3-1 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.

Not making ice

Water 1. Is saddle valve turned on? Check saddle valve.

2. Is the icemaker fill tube frozen? Check the fill tube heater’s electrical

mechanism is normal.

Caution : Be sure that the ice tray is not filled with water before pressing fill key.

- 77 -
2st STEP (Ice-detecting sensor Diagnosis)

1. Remove Ice bin from compartment 2. Close the left door 3. Wait for 3min.
(Door switch pushed)

4. Freezer door stays open

5. Push the refrigerator

button & lock button at the
same time.

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

10-3-3 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)

10-3-4 Not Dispensing Ice

Clogged Ice In the Ice Bin (suspected items)
- Customer haven’t used ice dispenser over a week.
Resolution : the ices gets stuck if customer doesn’t use ice dispenser.
In this case, empty the ice bin and wait until the new ices are stacked in the ice bin.
- Temperature of icemaker compartment is not cold enough.
Resolution : Check ice fan, sealed system, cap duct, vent and other items related to temperature.
- Cap duct doesn’t seal the air properly.
Resolution : Possibly, warm air could get into the compartment and make ices get stuck. Replace the cap duct with
new one.
- In-door geared motor doesn’t work
Resolution : Change the in-door geared motor and test it.
- The water comes out of fill cup and the water get into the ice bin.
Resolution : The water pressure from shutoff valve is too high.
Recommend to use regulator to the customer and close the shutoff valve slightly.
Clogged Ices In the Chute (suspected items)
- Cap duct doesn’t seal the air properly.
Resolution : Possibly, warm air could get into the compartment and make ices get stuck. Replace the cap duct with
new one.
