4. A red signal light will appear when the freezer temperature is above normal. The signal light
will turn off when the temperature returns to normal.
NOTE: The freezer temperature sensor, located on the inner door, quickly responds to
changes in air temperature within the freezer compartment. Accordingly, threshold temperatures
of 1ºC (35ºF) and 13ºC (55ºF) are monitored by the electronic system at various time intervals to alert
the consumer before frozen foods begin to thaw.
5. The green lighted word “normal” indicates that no failure has been detected by the electronic
system monitor.
6. A flashing green diagnostic code will be displayed when a failure has been detected by the
electronic system. The first six flashes will be accompanied by a beep. If more than one
coded function requires attention at the same time, the highest priority code will be displayed
until erased. The codes, in order of priority, are:
FF
- Freezer - check for thawing of frozen foods
PF
- Power - power has been off for more than 2 seconds
CI
- Icemaker - check ice bin for blockage
dE
- Defrost - defrost system has failed
7. The “ system check/reset” provides
a review of all diagnostic codes in
order of priority. Touching the reset
pad will initiate the review. If no failure is
detected, the review sequence will
continue until the system is reset.
Touching the “system check/reset” pad
will erase the
PF
and
CI
codes.
However, the electronic system is
programmed to prevent the
FF
and
dE
codes from being erased unless the
condition has been corrected. The
FF
code can be erased only when the
freezer temperature is reduced to
normal. The
dE
code will automatically
be erased when defrost current is
detected by the electronic system.
