6. TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING
6-4. When the compressor is not working
1. The compressor does not operate when 5 minutes have not passed after satisfying the temperature. 2. The compressor does not operate during defrosting. 3. When the freezer sensor is not connected, it detects as low temperature and the compressor does not operate. (Except for forced operation.)

Start

Is forced operation in progress?

NO

Enter forced operation

YES Is the output of MICOM #26 "High" (5V)? YES NO Is the #14 of IC04 "Low"? YES NO Is the COMP relay normal? Replace IC04/replace PCB NO

Check cold solder/replace PCB

Replace relay/replace PCB

6-5. When the cooling fan is not working
When checking the cooling fan, do the checking with the forced operation selected. 1. When the COMP is turned off, the freezer cooling fan is maintained off. 2. Even when the COMP is turned on, it is always kept off when the freezer or refrigerator door is open.

Start

Is the COMP operating?

NO

Enter forced operation

YES Is the connection with COMP end (joint) normal? YES Isn't the door open? (Freezer or refrigerator) NO Close door NO Correct connected condition/check wire

YES Is the door switch normal? NO Replace door switch

YES Assemble wire and check connected condition

TROUBLESHOOTING 6. TROUBLESHOOTING
6-7. When the defrost is not working
1. When the defrost sensor is short and defective, the defrost does not work but the normal operation continues. (As the self diagnosis check item, it is checked when the power is turn off/on again.) 2. When the temperature fuse is disconnected, the heating gets disabled, making the temperature rise naturally and delaying the COMP OFF time according to defrost to cause temperature defect. 3. When the defrost sensor is open and defective, the heating does not end and disconnects the temperature fuse to maintain the COMP OFF condition. (As the self diagnosis check item, it is checked when the power is turn off/on again.)

Start

When you press the forced defrost key , does defrosting start? YES Is the power connected to the defrost heater? NO

NO Is the temperature of applicable defrost sensor -5 or below? NO YES

Maintain certain forced operation

Is MICOM #25 "High"(5V)?

NO Replace MICOM, replace PCB

YES Is it IC04 #13? YES NO Is the relay (R Y72, R Y71) normal? Refer to common relay R Y71 defrost heater R Y72 relay check YES Is the contact condition connector CN71 normal? YES Is the temperature fuse within the EVAP normal? YES Is the defrost heater disconnected? NO Check the wire assembly condition YES Replace EV AP assembly NO Replace temperature fuse NO Recheck the contact condition of connector CN71 NO Replace/repair IC03, IC06, replace PCB

Replace/repair relay , replace PCB
