SAFETY PRECAUTIONSPlease read before start your service refrigerator:

1. Disconnect your refrigerator before starting the service in order to prevent electric discharge2. Check visually there's not a gas leakage or short circuit in the refrigerator.3. In case of realize tests with the connected refrigerator, use rubber gloves to prevent any accident.4. If you use any appliance, verify voltage and capacity regularly.5. Don't touch metallic parts with humid hands, they could be adhered.6. Make sure there's no water drain to electric or metallic parts.7. When the freezer door is open and you're checking the low part, be careful when you lift your head, you could get hurt.8. Remove all the glasses, metal or other freely parts when you tilt the refrigerator.9. When servicing the evaporator, wear gloves to prevent injuries from the sharp evaporator fins.

SERVICE CAUTIONS

Refrigerant Charge to CompressorTest compressor operation before recharge the refrigerant, this is important in order to detect immediately failures and assure compressor motor reliability.

If the failure has been identified, clean possible R-134a remnants' in the system breaking the end of the compressor service tube in the thinnest part (as shown in Figure #1).

Change the filter and any other damaged part. Disjoint and pull away the rest of the service tube. Put a new tube extension in the Hansen male connector. Weld the new tube (See Figure #2).

It's necessary to realize the welding process with the opened valve to allow the freely output of gasses from oil.

Use a female connector to join the new tube extension and the Hansen connector with the vacuum pump (see Figure #3).

The vacuum process to the system starts as soon as the pump starts to work. The refrigerator system must be kept under vacuum until the low pressure meter indicate Absolute 0 or -1 atm, -760 mmhg (see Figure #3). In any case, the pump must not be working for more than 30 minutes.

In case of leakage and the vacuum couldn't be realized, it's necessary to apply a small amount of Freon to the system. If the vacuum isn't achieved (the lower pressure meter doesn't indicate Absolute 0 or -1 atm, -760 mmhg) turn on the refrigerator and try to localize the leakage with a leakage locator. If you identify a welding failure, open the valve to normalize the interior pressure with the same exterior pressure before welding. The molten solder could be suctioned or expelled and block the cycle tubes if the vacuum system isn’t stabilized.

As soon as the vacuum process is finished, charge the correct refrigerant R-134a gram amount in the system. Remember, each system use an exact R-134a amount with a tolerance of ±5 grams (see Figure #4).

Valve should be openwhen refilling the gas

Figure # 5

To know the refrigerant amount that contains and that it’s necessary to be charged to the system, review the graduated scale cylinder. For example, if we have 750 grams Freon in the cylinder and we must charge 165 grams to the system, this amount will be reached when the cylinder indicator shows 585 grams. Remember that the charge indicator shows a lower lever than real. Do this after select the scale that corresponds to gas pressure indicated in the pressure meter attached in the column upper part.

Before performing this operation, make sure that the valve attached between the vacuum pump and recharge cylinder is closed in order to keep the Freon to be charged into the system (see Figure #5).

To make R-134a flow to the system, open the valve whichis attached in the cylinder base and is connected to the filling tube. The Freon gas amount must not be completely charged in one session because it could block the compressor motor; therefore, charge 20~30 grams and immediately close the valve, the pressure increase and the compressor motor start the suction, this make pressure decrease, open the valve again and repeat the previous steps until rise the established amount of R-134a gas for the system. When the system is under operation, the suction pressure must stabilize between 0.30 and 0.6 atmosphere of pressure.

The defrost control assembly consists of a sensor and a malleable fuse that opens with heat. The sensor function is to control the temperature and automatically finish the defrost, the transmitter is placed on one side of the metal part of the evaporator. The malleable fuse is a safety device for prevent-ing overheating of the melt strength when working. At a temperature of 77 ° C the fuse opens and the resistance stops emitting heat.

6 times blinking (activation current) may occur in a temporal disconnection situation like when refrigerator is turn on/off for 3minutes.

1. If it’s blinking 6 times but there’s no a significant difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and the settemperature, there’s no problem in PCB, Compressor or refrigeration cycle2. If it’s blinking 6 times and problem such as no cooling occurs, it means cycle leakage or cycle clogged (moisture, trash).

Cause: Cycle leakage or clogging, excessive increase in compressor temperature, compressor piston is locked, PCB IPM,device is burned due to condenser fan defect.Cause: Over-current protection.Action: Check PCB output, verify compressor operation, leakage inspection and check cycle clogging (for re-vaccum, 30minutes in additional vaccum).

7-1-3 OPEN DOOR ALARM1. If the door is left open for more than 1 minute, the alarm will sound 3 times in thirty seconds intervals.2. This function makes sound the alarm every time that one door is left open for more than 1 minute. 3. The sound of the alarm will stop when the door is closed.

7-1-5 DEFROST

1. When a button is pressed on the display, a “ding” sound will be heard.

1. For the initial turn on, only for unique time, the defrost begins when the compressor reaches 4 hours of being turned on.

2.The defrost begins when the accumulated turned on time of the compressor is between 7 and 50 hours. This time isdetermined by the frequence and duration of the refrigerator doors opening.

3. The defrost stops when the sensor temperature reaches 13°C or more. If the sensor does not reach that temperature in aperiod of 2 hours, the defrost mode will not work properly.

4. The defrost process does not work if the sensor is damaged (if the wires are cut or short circuit).

The test mode allows checking the PCB and the function of the product as well as finding out the defective part in case of anerror.The test button is on the main PCB of the refrigerator (Test S/W).The Test Mode will be finished in 5 minutes in Test Mode 1 and it will last 2 hours in Test Mode 2 or until the defrost sensor reaches a temperature of 13°C (55.4 °F) or more, after this the original conditions are set again.While the Test Mode is in process, the tone of the button for temperature adjustments won’t be able.After you leave Test Mode, make sure of unplugged the refrigerator.In case of an error, such as sensor failure, and if it’s detected during the Test Mode, the error code will be display in the LEDerror indicator.While an error is detected, the Test Mode will not be activated until the error disappears from display.Test Mode for LED: When the temperature button is pressed for more than 1 second, each LED on display will be on simultaneously. When you stop pressing the button, the Test Mode will be off.

Check the R-LED. When the door is open, the voltage value for R-LED is 12 V?

Check the voltage of door switch PCB. Whilethe door is closed, is the voltage value of 0Vfor CON8 (11th~12th)?

Check the voltage of door switch PCB. While the door is open, is the voltage value between 10 & 12V for CON8 (11th~12th)?

Connect firmly and check again. Is there a problem?Yes: Go to step 2.No: Explain to customer.

Unplugged the refrigerator and all the PCBconnectors, check the resistance betweenwhite wires for CON8.

1. Check temperature and resistance (seechart of section 7-2).

2. Check the box corresponding to thetemperature of the resistance by the value (see “R” in the sensor graphic).

3. Check if the equivalent temperaturematches with the real temperature ofthe compartment.

Go to step 3.

1. Connect the refrigerator. 2. Remove the PCB cover and start Test

Mode 1 (press once the button on PCB).

1. Open the freezer door.2. Press manually the door switch.3. Check the air flow.
