Forced Defrost Operation
Standard compressor models can activate the Fridge
defrost only, or both the Fridge and Freezer defrost.
Inverter compressor models activate all heaters at once.
In the Forced Defrost Mode the defrost sensor still
controls the heater operation. When defrost is activated
the main PCB will turn over defrost control to the sensor
in about 90 seconds. If the defrost sensor reads a
temperature above the shut off point it will tell the main
PCB to turn off the defrost voltage.
Even when the defrost is turned off the unit will stay in
the forced mode for up to 24 hours.
