TROUBLESHOOTING
-. The refrigerator of this model has BLDC FAN moror. 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.

The voltage is measured around 2~3V with
multi-meter, though the voltage is changed
because of pulse signal.

Expected causes
①
FAN-MOTOR has failure itself.
②
Check the bad contact of wiring
connection.
③
Check the input of the motor
rotation pulse when fan motor
operates.
The pulse signal generated when motor rotates will be inputted into CN76-
#2(F),#3(R),#1(C). These signals will be inputted into MICOM. If signals
are not inputted during motor operating, the fan is turned OFF and ON
again after 10 seconds. But if signals are not still entered, above operation
is repeated for 4 times more. If signals are not entered continuously, the
motor is restarted after 10 seconds. This function is effective when the
normal operation of motor is locked by foreign matters such as ice.

Checking method of R,F,C FAN Motor The voltage of PCB
common Ground REG1 Heater Sink and
F FAN ; CN76-#5(Red) shall be less than DC 7~12V.
R FAN ; CN76-#6(Brown) shall be less than DC 7~12V.
C FAN ; CN76-"4"(Orange) shall be less than DC 7~12V.

When initial power is applied to
appliance, the compressor and fans
of fridge/freezer/compressor operate.
If freezer temperature is sensed 41

by momentary power failure, fans will
operate after 5minutes.
