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.

• Expected causes
①
Check that if FAN-MOTOR has failure itself.
②
Check that if wiring connection has bad contact.
③
Check the input of the fan motor rotation pulse
when motor fan operates.
CN76-7(F),8(R),9(C)will generate the pulse signal when motor rotates.
These signals will be inputted into MICOM.
Unless signals are not inputted during motor operating, will be ON 10
seconds after fan Off. But if signals are not still entered, the above
operation will restart four times more.
If signals are not entered continuously, the motor will be restarted after 10
Minutes. This function is effective when the normal operation of motor
would be restrained by foreign matters such as ice.
The voltage between PCB typical Ground REG1-GND and
F FAN ; CN76 ”3”(Yellow) shall be less than DC 7~12V.
R FAN ; CN76 ”4”(Orange) shall be less than DC 7~12V.
C FAN ; CN76 ”5”(Sky-blue) shall be less than DC 7~12V.
- Recheck if resistance values are different after measuring.
Is the voltage between MAIN

In initial power to appliance, the compressor
and fans of fresh food/ freezer, compressor
fan operate. If freezer temperature is sensed
of 41
℉
by momentary power failure, fans will
operate after 7 minutes.
