DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY

3-1) PRECAUTION

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.


• Do not dissemble or repair the refrigerator by yourself.
- You run risk of causing a fire, malfunction and/or personal injury.
• Remove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins.
- Otherwise there is a risk of fire.
• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power board. The refrigerator should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical which has a voltage rating that matched the rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in contact with water.
- Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.
• The refrigerator must be grounded.
- You must ground the refrigerator to prevent any power leakages or electric shocks caused by current
leakage from the refrigerator.
• Do not put bottles or glass containers in the freezer.
- When the contents freeze, the glass may break and cause personal injury.
• Do not store volatile or flammable substances in the refrigerator.
- The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas and other such products may cause
explosions.

1) The following shows the way to shift the Freezer temperature by -3 This function is to shift its base
temperature. For example, if the current base temperature is -18 and it is lowered by -3 with the
Option Setting function, the unit is to be controlled based on -21° that is even though it shows -18
on the display panel after shifting the base temperature, it is to be controlled based on -21 So,
when the base temperature is lowered by -3 , the unit is controlled -3°… lower than the displayed
temperature.

NOTE The units are shipped out with all their data being cleared. i.e. the setting values are "0" for all
together. But, for the purpose of quality improvement, the settings can be changed before
being shipped out, make sure to check relevant SVC bulletins.

2) With the Option Setting mode, "0" blinks on both of the Fridge and the Freezer sections. (Generally,
they are set to "0" at both the Fridge and the Freezer sections. But, they can be changed for the
purpose of quality improvement.) - When "0" blinks on the Fridge section, it is set to the Freezer
Option Setting and the Freezer temp code will be displayed on the Freezer temp section.
3) If the Freezer temp code is set to "6" as the following table after setting the Fridge section to "0", the
Freezer base temperature is to be lowered by -3 (Refer to the Freezer temperature setting image.)

Option Value Option Item

: In 15 seconds after completing the adjustment, MICOM is to store the setting value in EEPROM and
it goes back to the normal display mode, deactivating the Option Setting mode.
4) The above Option Setting is the same for both of the Dispenser model and the No-Dispenser model.
5) With the same method as the above, you can control the Fridge temperature, the water supply
quantity, the Ice-Maker sensor temperature.
6) Make sure not to change the factory-set default values otherwise exception cases. Also, the Option
Setting is to be completed when it goes back to the normal display mode in 20 seconds. So, do not
turn off the unit before it goes back to the normal display mode.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

4-2-5) When Fan does not operate

- A BLDC Fan Motor is applied to this refrigerator.The BLDC motor runs on DC8~12V.
- The F-Fan motor runs together with the compressor. But, due to conditions, the F-Fan Motor does not operate.
Also, when the ambient temperature is high and the Door is open and closed, the F-Fan operate after one minute.
So, it needs addition checking before considering it as a defect.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

4-2-6) Freezer / Fridge Lamp does not light up

Caution
1. When replacing the Freezer Lamp, be sure to turn off the power to prevent electric shock.
2. Take care when replacing the incandescent lamp to prevent skin burn.

Note
When the F-Door is open, its Door S/W will be open. And then 5V is to be applied to MICOM, signalling the Door Open.
After that, when 5V is input for more than 2 minutes, it will send out Door Open alarm for 10 seconds at an interval of 1
minute. (it's the same for the R-Door and the R-H/B Door.) So, when the Door S/W is defective, it will send "Ding
