14. OPERATION PRINCIPLE AND REPIAR METHOD OF ICEMAKER (FREEZER ROOM)

14-1 Working Principles

Power Input

Initial Control

Ice Making

Control

Ice Ejection

Control

Water Supply

Control

Test Control

Level Ice Maker Cube Mould for “Initial Control”
after power is input.

Wait until the water in the cube mould is frozen
after ice maker starts operation.

Check ice bucket is full of ice by rotating ice ejection
motor in normal and reverse direction and eject ice into
the ice bucket if ice bucket is not full.

Conduct “Ice Making Control” after supplying water into the ice maker
cube mould by operating water valve.

This is for refrigerator assembly line and service. When “ice making test
switch” is pressed, it operates in the following steps: initial

ice ejection

water supply control steps.

1. Turning the Icemaker stop switch off (O) stops the Icemaking function.
2. Setting the Icemaker switch to OFF and then turning it back on will reset the Icemaker control.
