TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-2. If FAN does not operate - The refrigerator of this model has BLDC FAN motor. BLDC motor is driven by DC 7~12V. - On the normal condition of COMP ON, it operates together with F-FAN motor. If door is opened and closed once at a high ambient temperature, it will be operated after 1 minute delay. Therefore, you are advised not to taken it for an error. -. If there is a trouble, you should select the self-diagnostic function to check the trouble before power off.
TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-3. If ICE MAKER does not operate 1. Water is automatically supplied to the Ice maker by temperature & time and ice maker dispenses cubed or crushed ice. 2. Power is applied to one of its wires. So, refer to its exploded diagram when disassembling. 3. The operation of the Ice maker shall be checked after pressing the Ice maker test switch. (Freezer compartment Ice Maker) It is not possible to check when the power is disengaged.
TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-4. If defrost does not operate (F,R DEF Heater) - If defrost has trouble, select the self-diagnostic function to detect the error of defrost heater before Power Off.
TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-5. If Power is not supplied Caution At the power of main PCB, the AC115(220)V power and a highvoltage over DC 170(325)V are occurred. Please take care of yourself on repair and measurement.
TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-6. If compressor does not operate Start Did 5 mins pass after COMP OFF ? Check after 5 minutes Refer to test function in the manual Does compressor work with manual operation? Did buzzer of manual operation sound? (Check certainly after manual operation) Is freezer sensor normal?

TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-7. When alarm sound continuous without stop(related with buzzer sound) If 'ding-dong' sounds continuously Start Is door closed completely? Door is ajar Remove causes after comprehending the conditions of interference by door gasket, food etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING If buzzer does not sound Buzzer is installed on the panel PCB in this model. If buzzer does not sound when button is pressed, manual operation is started and door is opened, should separate panel PCB and check the breakage of buzzer and bad soldering. It is very hard to repair the panel PCB because it consists of SMD assemblies.
TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-8. If Panel PCB does not work normally When lighting of Panel PCB is disabled or only some LED Lamp are disabled Be careful to repair because display of this model is installed in the MICOM of internal PCB. It is recommend to replace PCB MAIN after checking except specified solder touch.
TROUBLESHOOTING 4-2-9. If Pantry Panel PCB is not working normally You should check the display after door opening because the display of this model operates only when the fresh food compartment door is opened.
