3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Levelling

The word 'level' is somewhat of a misnomer, as a 'spirit level' need not be used to set the appliance level. It is preferable to have the appliance level in appearance where both doors will close with the aid of the door closing cams. It is also important that the appliance sits solidly on the floor.
• Front and rear rollers are fitted ex factory. These are not adjustable.
• Cabinet levelling can be done by adjustment of the front levelling feet fitted ex factory. Refer to
Diagram
• Weight should be lifted off cabinet for ease of adjustment.

4.2 Internal Air Flow

4.2.1 Ice & Water Models

The freezer fan draws air through the evaporator and into a duct in the rear wall of the freezer compartment. This air exits through the fan grill at the top of the freezer compartment. The air behind the freezer coil cover is also diverted through the divider partition to another fan, which supplies the cold air into the PC compartment. The amount of air is controlled electronically by two sensors, which in turn regulate, through the power/control module, the speed of both PC and FC fans to maintain selected temperatures in each compartment.
Air from the PC returns to the FC evaporator by way of the return air duct, which is built into the divider partition. This air is drawn across the evaporator by the FC fan motor to be recirculated again throughout the PC/FC compartments.

4.4 The Refrigeration Circuit

The compressor discharges high pressure, high temperature gas into the back panel condenser circuit first, returning via the oil cooler in the compressor and entering the side condenser in the cabinet by way of the base tube. This tube runs from the compressor compartment forward to the front bottom edge of the cabinet, returning down the left hand side to be connected to the left hand side condenser coil.
A loop from this condenser coil forms the cross rail mullion on dual temperature cabinets. The condenser then continues across the top front edge of the cabinet to form the right hand side condenser entering the filter drier, which is mounted vertically in the unit compartment.
Now the high-pressure gas has been condensed, the liquid refrigerant flows through the capillary tube entering the evaporator mounted in the freezer compartment. The liquid refrigerant then boils off due to the low suction pressure applied to within the evaporator from the compressor. The heat-laden vapour is drawn back to the compressor by way of the suction line to start the cycle all over again.
The above information relates to the cabinet, not the drawing below.

4.5 Evaporator

The evaporator on R134a models is of the Fin and Tube type with the expansion and suction inlet/outlet on the left hand side. The defrost element is fitted to the left and right hand end plates of the evaporator and clamped into position.
Diagram

4.5.1
Page 25
The evaporator on R-600a models is of the Fin and Tube type with the expansion and suction inlet/outlet on the left hand side. The defrost element is fitted to the right hand end plate of the evaporator and clamped into position. The R-600a evaporator does not have an accumulator fitted. This is to reduce the risk of oil slugging with the type of refrigerant used.
Diagram
4.5.2

4.6 Condensate Disposal

During the defrost cycle, which is electronically timed and controlled, live frost is melted off the evaporator by means of heat from the defrost element. Condensate from the evaporator defrosting drops into a collection trough, which has an outlet hole in the centre of the liner. A tube then allows the condensate to flow into a water evaporation tray above the compressor.

4.7 Filter Drier

Diagram 4.7
The filter drier or molecular sieve, as the name suggests, is both a filter and a drier. Whenever a system is opened it is essential that the filter drier is replaced. ALWAYS ensure that replacement filter driers are kept well sealed and airtight prior to being fitted to a system.
NOTE: When filter driers are replaced on systems being serviced, it is important that the filter drier is either cut from the system or the desiccant is removed before heat is applied to the old filter drier.
Failure to do so will drive any moisture held in the desiccant back into the system.
ALWAYS mount vertically or as near to vertical as possible and use the correct desiccant to suit the refrigerant being used.
XH7 or XH9 suits R-600a.

4.8 Internal Condenser

The internal condenser is made in three sections (refer circuit diagram below). One third of the condenser is attached to the inside if the back panel, and the other parts are attached to the inside of the right and left sides of the cabinet wrapper (as viewed from the back) all being foamed into place. It is very important, if pressure testing the high side circuit, to split the condenser into its three sections to locate which section is at fault. Always ease the back panel away from the cabinet slightly before pressure testing the internal pipe work. This will prevent a pressure build-up within the cabinet should any leak be found internally in the foam insulation. Such a leak could pressurise and damage the cabinet liner.
The back panel condenser comes as part of the back panel and should always be replaced as a complete assembly if the back panel is ever removed. On fitting a new back panel assembly always replace the mastic vapour-sealing compound before fitting the back panel into the triple fold of the cabinet.

4.9 Compressor Compartment Layout

The diagrams below will assist in identifying the various pipes within the compressor compartment. They should be read in conjunction with the full system diagram (refer to Diagram
4.4).
Diagram 4.9

4.10 Cross Rail

The cross rail contains part of the condenser copper tubing (mullion heater) providing heat to the gasket area between the PC and FC compartments, preventing sweating of the gasket. Also mounted on the cross rail is the Reed Sensor, under the plastic cover in the centre.

4.11 Door and Door Hinge

On the Designer models, the upper door hinge is concealed and cannot be seen with the door closed. The upper door height is extended past the top of the cabinet to cover the hinge area.

4.12 Compressor

The compressor is turned on when cooling is required. It is switched by a Triac (solid state switching device) on the power/control module.

4.13 Thermal Fuse

There are two thermal fuses mounted in the wiring harness of the defrost element, having a tripping temperature of 72 assembly.
These fuses in both leads of the element protect the refrigerator from any over heating through failure of the element itself or a triac failure in the power/control module. Both sides are protected in case phase and neutral are reversed.
NOTE: Care should be taken if manually defrosting the evaporator if using heat guns, that the thermal fuses are not over heated.

C. Once open circuit they cannot be reset. Replacement is part of the element heater

4.14 Drain Heater Wire

A drain heater wire is fitted to all cabinets except R134a B models. This drain heater helps to prevent the drain tube from blocking with ice. The wire clips onto the double-pass defrost element, with the tail of the heater wire in the drain tube, thus conducting heat from the defrost element into the drain tube area during defrost.

4.15 Divider Partition

This is moulded in two outer pieces and has an inner polystyrene moulded duct assembly that is wax coated. This provides a barrier between the FC and PC compartments, also allowing return air from the PC to move back to the FC evaporator in ‘T’ models. In both models it houses the PC fan motor. In ‘B’ models it houses also the low ambient heater. The divider is fitted into the cabinet as an assembly and cannot be replaced.

4.16 LCD Display Panel

The ice & water models are fitted with an LCD display on the exterior of the PC door. This is the user interface. Refer to Section

4.17 Door Switches

“Reed” switches are used to detect the opening and closing of the doors. They are activated by two small magnets that are built into the PC and FC doors. The reed switches are encapsulated within a plastic housing, which is clipped under the plastic covers on the base and cross rails.

4.18 Defrost Heater

A heating element is used to defrost the ice accumulated on the evaporator. The defrost heating element used on the evaporator is of an inconal folded type having both wiring terminations at one end. The defrosts are adaptive to the usage and environment and are controlled by the power/control module and sensed by the defrost sensor located on the evaporator chassis registering +8 element. Previous defrost history, the number of door openings, and the compressor run time are used to determine the interval between defrosting. The typical time interval for defrosts is between 12 hours and 1 day. However it can be as short as 3 hours or as long as 70.8 hours depending on the usage and environment.

4.19 Low Ambient Heater

In low ambient temperatures, a 12 Volt, 7 Watt low power heater is used to keep the temperature in the Provision compartment above freezing. The ambient heater is controlled by the power/control module, which uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to run the heater at 58% to give 4.1 watts of heat. The ambient heater is situated in the air duct of the “T” models and in the divider partition on “B” models. The element has the purpose of warming the area if the ambient becomes too low, hence in the “B” models the element is on when the compressor cycles off as the crispers could freeze. The low ambient heater in “T” models operates when the percentage of compressor run time for the last four cycles drops below 30%. It switches off when the percentage run time increases to above 35%. The heater will always be switched off during defrosting. There may be less than 4 cycles in the calculation if a defrost has occurred or there were long cycle times.

4.20 PC / FC Fans

4.20.1 “B” Model Fan

There are two 12 Volt DC electrically commutated motors (ECMs). They provide the required cooling air flow to both compartments. The motor speeds are controlled using a pulse width modulating (PWM) technique. The power/control module controls the on/off of the compressor, and the fans. The speed of the FC fan is set, and the speed of the PC fan is regulated using pulse width modulation.
The freezer compartment fan will always be set at the maximum FC fan speed, with the PC fan being adjusted to meet the requirement of that compartment. We alter the speed of the FC fan under certain loading conditions. Therefore the PC fan speed will be set at the average speed used from the previous cycles under normal door openings and loading conditions.
When the compressor is turned on, provided the doors are closed both the fans will also be switched on except immediately following a defrost cycle, where there is a delay of 5 minutes after the compressor has started before the FC fan starts.

4.21 Interior Light

The interior light of this cabinet uses a LED mounted on a small PCB board located in the roof of the PC (and FC in some models). The light fittings can be rectangle or oval.
On opening the door, the light has a soft start feature, increasing in brightness to a preset level. To prevent overheating of the lens cover, the lamp is turned off after 5 minutes if the door is left open, and the module will beep continuously indicating that the door has been left open.
“T” models have one LED on the PC board; “B” models have either two or three LEDs on the PC board.
The power/control module controls the light.

4.22 Thermistor Temperature Sensors

These sensors are used to monitor temperatures within the refrigerator. They are:
1. A defrost sensor mounted above the evaporator used to measure the temperature when in defrost.
2. An FC sensor mounted on the evaporator coil cover used to measure the temperature in FC.
3. A PC sensor mounted in the PC on the duct cover and used to sense the PC temperature.
4. On ice & water models, an ice tray sensor mounted on the bottom of the ice cube tray used to
measure the temperature of the ice tray.
5. On ice & water models, a water tank sensor mounted at the rear of the water tank used to measure
the temperature of the water tank.
Thermistor sensors are used for temperature measurement. Their electrical resistance changes as the temperature changes. The table below lists some typical resistance values. The temperature can be read using Diagnostic Mode as described in the Section water models).

5 ELECTRONICS SECTION

5.1 Diagrammatic Overview Function Description

The electronic system consists of several parts: Power/control module, display module, compressor, defrost heater, low ambient heater, door flapper heater, produce compartment fan, freezer compartment fan, light, temperature sensors, icemaker sensors, solenoids and door sensors.
The purpose of the power/control module is to turn on the compressor, which cools the evaporator, then to use the fans to efficiently cool the compartments. Both fans turn on with the compressor. The freezer compartment (FC) fan is kept at a constant speed while the produce compartment (PC) fan is regulated to provide the balanced cooling for both compartments. The function of the microprocessor in the power/control module is to provide independence of both compartments to their set temperatures, although the environment of one compartment effects the other as they are linked by the ducts as can seen by the internal air flow of the cabinet. (Refer to diagrams
ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONAL SCHEMATIC
4.2, 4.2.2A and 4.2.2B).
Diagram
5.1
37
Page 38
321144

5.2 Control and Peripheral Functions

The control system consists of the power/control module located in the unit compartment of the refrigerator, the slave display module located either in the back of the produce compartment or, in the case of ice and water models, on the outside of the door, and various sensors and actuators controlled by the power/control module. The function and brief description of each of these units is defined below (refer to Electronic Functional Schematic – Diagram
5.1).

5.3 Power/Control Module

There are two types of power/control modules used on these Active Smart® cabinets, one for the non-ice & water cabinets and the other for those cabinets having the ice & water feature. NOTE: While the two types of modules are not interchangeable, the ice & water module can be used on a non-ice and water model.
This module is the electronic brain and control centre of the refrigerator. It contains a microprocessor, support circuitry and switching devices. The power/control module controls the Provision Compartment (PC) and Freezer Compartment (FC) temperatures by sensing the temperature and door state and operating the compressor and fans accordingly. This module also houses the alarm beeper.
The speed of the fans is controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM). The power/control module controls the motor speed by driving them with short pulses. These pulses vary in duration to change the speed of the motor. The longer the pulses, the faster the motor turns, and vice versa.
The micro controller in the power/control module uses its internal memory for control; its ROM (Read Only Memory), for program and fixed constant storage including tables, the RAM (Random Access Memory) for variable storage and access. It uses an external Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (E 2 PROM) for storage of variables and history data which is retained even when the power is turned off.
The power/control module contains a special type of memory device call an E 2 PROM. The information on the fridge operation, faults and diagnostic information is stored in this memory. They include the temperature setting, the history of FC, PC temperatures (approx 18 hours), defrost history (the last 12 defrosts) and fault history. This will help the service person find and remedy the cause of failure. All this memory will be retained even when the fridge is disconnected from mains power supply.
Compressor Start Delay
All Active Smart the compressor is off and compartments warm up above their respective switch (turn on) temperatures, and the doors are open, the compressor will not switch on until one minute after the doors are closed. However, the compressor will start after 90 seconds irrespective of whether the doors are open or not. (Primarily introduced for Orthodox Jewish compliance to ensure there is no link between door opening and compressor starting.)
The piezo beeper is used to signal prolonged door opening and other fault conditions:
1. The PC door alarm sounds if the door is left open for 90 seconds and the FC door alarm sounds if door is left open after 60 seconds. Both PC and FC alarm will sound every 30 seconds until the door is closed.
2. If the doors are left open longer than 5 minutes, the alarm will sound continuously and the PC light will turn off. The alarm will stop with the closing of the door. The light is only reactivated by closing and opening the door.
3. On non-ice & water models, all electronic faults, when detected, will sound the alarm and the LED’s on the display module will flash indicating the fault code. The pressing of any button will cancel the alarm but the fault code will remain until the cabinet has been serviced.
4. On ice & water models, a spanner symbol and LCD fault code will appear automatically if there is a fault in the temperature measuring system, defrost system, icemaker, fans or low ambient heater.
When the PC door is opened, an alarm will sound. The number of beeps also indicates the fault code. Pressing any of the control buttons can deactivate this alarm.

5.4 Display Module

On the non-ice & water models, this module contains the user interface. It is controlled via a 5-wire communications interface from the power/control module.
The user interface of push button switches and Light Emitting Diode (LED) display on the display module printed circuit board is used to input and display the required set temperatures for the refrigerator compartments.
The user interface is positioned at the right hand side of the fresh food compartment (PC). The interface automatically displays the current temperature setting for the PC compartment. This is shown as a series of LED lights on a thermometer symbol. To adjust the temperature of the PC, simply press the TEMPERATURE UP or TEMPERATURE DOWN buttons to the appropriate setting (refer to Section
Press the MODE button on the left-hand side of the interface to select the FC compartment setting. The indicator light will flash for 8 seconds to show a new compartment has been selected. Press the up or down buttons to adjust the temperature as necessary.
Further presses of the MODE button will toggle between the PC and FC compartments.

6 VARIABLE CAPACITY COMPRESSOR

Some Active Smart® refrigerators are fitted with variable capacity compressors (VCC) depending on the model and market. The compressor is turned on when cooling is required and is switched by the power/control module sending a low voltage frequency signal to the inverter.
The VCC improves energy efficiency and maintains a more stable temperature in both the provision compartment and the freezer compartment. The compressor windings are wired in a 3 phase star formation with the resistance between any two pins being the same (6.4 ohms).

6.1 Variable Capacity Compressor Control Overview

The power/control module on VCC product is identical to that on non-VCC product. The power/control module senses if it is connected to a VCC compressor and uses the appropriate algorithm.
The compressor can operate at speeds between 1590 and 4300 rpm inclusive. On the Fisher & Paykel product we operate the compressor at a select number of different speeds between 1590 and 4300 rpm to reduce the variation in sound produced by the compressor. An electronic module/inverter connected between the power/control module and the compressor controls the speed. This it does by supplying a modulated DC 3 phase supply to the compressor. Warning: Permanent damage will occur if the compressor is directly connected to the AC supply line.
The power/control module monitors, amongst other things, the refrigerator compartment temperatures (via thermistors) and the defrost cycle, and from this information sends signals to the electronic module/inverter to determine compressor speeds.
Whenever the compressor starts, it is run at 2200 rpm for 2.5 seconds to establish lubrication, and is then run at 1590 rpm for a further 27 seconds before changing to any other higher speed as requested by the power/control module. This is to provide a softer start before the compressor potentially ramps up to some higher speed.
Whenever the refrigerator is plugged in/turned on, and/or after a defrost, in the first cooling cycle the control will run the compressor, after its initial start procedure, at its maximum speed, which is 4300 rpm. The compressor will stay at its maximum speed until both compartments have reached their cut-out temperature, at which point the compressor will switch off and the refrigerator goes into the warm-up cycle.
In the subsequent cooling cycles, the algorithm will vary the compressor speed according to the amount of cooling required to achieve an average temperature in each compartment (as measured by the thermistors), equal to the compartment set temperatures with a 1 hour run-time.
In low ambient, where the heat load and/or cabinet usage is low, the compressor will be likely to run at its minimum speed (1590rpm), and switch off more frequently than once every hour, similar to most non-VCC product.
When the compressor is running at slow speeds, the evaporator may not be fully flooded, but this is normal.

6.2 Built-in Electronic Protections (Within the Module/Inverter)

6.2.1 Compressor Start-up

In case any anomaly occurs during compressor starting, the control will wait 6 seconds before repeating the start-up. If the compressor doesn’t start after 12 trials, the control will wait 8 minutes before repeating the start-up procedure (this condition may be when pressures are not equalised between suction and discharge sides in the refrigeration system, eg; after an interruption in the mains supply).

6.2.2 Overload Detection and Protection

The control can detect an overload condition by monitoring the current consumed by the compressor. If overload is detected, the control reduces the current by reducing the speed of the compressor until the overload disappears, when the speed will return to the required value.
If the overload increases, the control will continue to decrease the current until the minimum speed of 1590 rpm may be reached, at which point the compressor may “stall”, and the control will return to the start-up procedure.
40
Page 41

6.2.3 Power Limitation (Temperature Protection)

The control limits the power supplied to the compressor to 200 watts to keep all electrical components below a safe operating limit. The power is limited in the same way as the current in the overload protection.

6.2.4 Short Circuit Protection

In a case where a short circuit occurs, (eg; motor winding damage, connection faults etc), the same current limiting control is actuated to reduce further damage. In the case of a major failure, a fuse within the inverter will break the current supplied to the control. This fuse cannot be replaced in servicing.

6.3 VCC Module/Inverter Identification

The module/inverter has an identification label giving the following information:

6.4.1 High Voltage Power Supply Circuit

Whenever power is supplied to the refrigerator, there should always be mains voltage (230V or 110V as supplied to the appliance by the household supply) in the high voltage harness between the power/control module and the VCC module/inverter. Live testing of the inverter is NOT recommended. Check the resistance of the compressor; check the continuity of the harness from the power/control module. If there is continuity through the harness, replace the power/control module.

6.5 VCC-3 Inverter With Diagnostic Function

This function has been added to the new generation of VCC inverter in order to help Service Technicians diagnose faults.

6.5.1 Diagnostic Procedures

Diagnostic codes for VCC-3 inverter.
Through a translucent front cover, the VCC-3 inverter flashes a green LED to indicate a fault due to inverter failure, compressor failure or lack of signal from the power/control module.
The LED flashes every 0.5 seconds inside a flash cycle, and each flash lasts 125 milliseconds.
Flashing Cycles: Flash Code 1: 1 cycle every 15 seconds (1 flash every 15 seconds). Flash Code 2: 2 cycles every 5 seconds (2 flashes every 5 seconds). Flash Code 3: 3 cycles every 5 seconds (3 flashes every 5 seconds). Flash Code 4: 4 cycles every 5 seconds (4 flashes every 5 seconds).
1 Flash - No failure detected. 2 Flashes - No signal from power/control module. 3 Flashes - Inverter failure. 4 Flashes - Compressor failure.

6.5.2 Testing The VCC3 Inverter (With Diagnostic Function)

With the aid of a multi-meter, a number of points can be tested on the inverter while it is in a running state. To carry out these tests the probes on the meter need to be sharp and have fine points. The inputs to the inverter and the output can be checked.
44
Page 45
Step 1 – Check the compressor windings resistance.
• With the refrigerator disconnected from the power supply, remove the compressor cover and unplug the fusite
terminal connection from the compressor.
• Select the Ohms range on the multi-meter and measure the resistance of all three windings. The
resistance should be the same across all three windings. Refer to winding resistances in compressor specifications, Sections
• Check for leakage to ground from the windings within the compressor.
• Reconnect the fusite plug to the compressor and refit the compressor cover.

Step 2 – Check the input voltage to the inverter.
• Remove the protective terminal cover from the inverter, reconnect the appliance to the power supply and
set the compressor running.
• Select the multi-meter to measure AC volts. With the probes measure the input voltage as shown at the
two terminals indicated or at the input harness edge connector.
A normal cabinet with no fault:
• Will measure mains voltage (110volts or 230volts) AC input into the inverter.
• The compressor will be running (this can be felt by placing a hand on the compressor shell).
• The LED on the inverter board will be flashing once every 15 seconds as all is normal.
AC input neutral/phase

Step 3 – Check the input frequency of the inverter.
• Switch the multi-meter to the frequency range (if it has one). The frequency input into the Inverter from the power controller can be measured.
• There are two terminals alongside the edge connector that this measurement can be taken from in the inverter. How fast the compressor is running will depend on how cold the PC & FC are. Depending on the compressor and the speed it is running at at the time the reading is taken, the frequency will vary between about 53Hz and 177 Hz.
• If unable to obtain a frequency reading from the power controller to the inverter, suspect the fault to be in the power controller.
Meter switched to
Frequency Range (Hz)
Output Voltage
The measurement of an output voltage using a multimeter/voltmeter will not give a valid reading in a no load state, because once the inverter is unable to "sense" the motor inductance on its output it will cease to operate.
The best method would be to use a current probe connected to an oscilloscope and measure one of the output phases (blue, black or brown wires) from the inverter, while the inverter is still connected to the compressor.
While it is appreciated that oscilloscopes and current probes are not commonly available to service technicians, it is not a valid test to even try to measure the output voltage, and that is one of the reasons why we have introduced this type of inverter with the built-in LED diagnostic feature.

8 ICEMAKER

8.1 Ice Production

The icemaker comes out of the factory defaulted to off. To turn the icemaker on, press the MENU button to scroll until the ICE option has been scrolled to.
Press the UP or DOWN buttons to turn the icemaker on or off. When the cubes are frozen, the icemaker motor will turn the ice cube tray and twist the tray causing the ice cubes to dislodge and fall out of the tray. The tray will then return to its normal position and refill with water.
NOTE: If the FC is above -10 around, the icemaker will not operate.

8.2 Information About The Icemaker

• The icemaker moulds in these later cabinets have 30% larger ice block moulds in the tray. The tray can be identified by a number of dimples in the middle of the side edge.
• The water fill time has been increased to 5.7 seconds to allow the tray to fill. This has been achieved by the use of 16-watt inlet water valves, thus increasing the flow rate to both the water dispenser and the icemaker unit.
• The solenoid valves are not interchangeable with those used on earlier model cabinets.
• The temperature of the FC needs to reach below -10
operate.
• When first switched on, the icemaker carries out a harvest with no water in the ice tray.
• Once the ice tray resumes its normal position, the water will fill the tray. At this stage it will calculate the
amount of time taken to do a cycle, and then flips. After this point it will run normally, calculating the amount of time for each batch. The rate of production will depend on the temperature of the freezer.
NOTE: If the temperature is above -10 dispense.
• The cubes will be ejected from the mould into the ice bin. It is suggested that the ice cubes are levelled with the ice scoop occasionally for maximum storage.
• The large and small freezer bins can be rotated if a large amount of ice is required.
To manually force a harvest.
Press the DOWN, UP and LOCK buttons together and hold for 4 seconds. The icemaker will rotate and empty the contents of the ice tray, then return to its normal position. The ice tray will then fill with water.
NOTE:
• A forced harvest will operate without the product being down to temperature. If the harvest does not work, the sensor may be not connected or may be open circuit. The icemaker sensor must be in circuit for a forced harvest to work.
• When forcing a harvest of the icemaker, the bin must be in place for the harvest to occur.

8.3 Ice Bin Full Sequence

When the ice bin is full, the icemaker starts a sequence of testing to ensure ice harvest can continue. If the icemaker senses the bin is full, the motor resumes its normal position. Twenty minutes later, the testing sequence commences until such time as the ice level is reduced by usage. The testing sequence happens every 20 minutes.
Bin in position
Bin lever – senses if there is a bin in position or not.
If there is no bin, lever will be in the down position as shown.
52
Page 53
Bin full of Ice
Lever sensing if ice bin is full.
If bin is not full, icemaker continues rotation to eject ice.

8.4 Safety First

• When first placed into operation, discard the first bin of ice, as this will remove any impurities that may have been in the water system.
• Do the same after vacations or extended periods when ice is not used.
• Ice cubes, when not used, will become cloudy, will shrink, and will taste stale. The ice bin will need to
be emptied and cleaned periodically.
• Avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism.
• Do not place fingers on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is turned on.

8.5 Icemaker Fill Tube Heater

There is a heater located under the fill tube nozzle to prevent the fill tube from freezing. It is connected in series with the low ambient heater.

8.6 Pressure Limiting Valve

The pressure limiting valve must be fitted between the water supply tap and the inlet hose to the refrigerator to limit the pressure of the water supply. It must be fitted a minimum of 250mm (10 inches) from the tap to prevent water hammer.
The valve has an outlet pressure of 600Kpa. The flow direction is marked by an arrow on the side of the valve.
Diagram
8.6

8.7 Water Inlet Valves

The water inlet valves are rated at 16 watts and have a flow rate of 2 litres (0.5 gallon) per minute. Both coils are coloured red. The earlier water inlet valves were coloured blue and rated at 10 watts. The16-watt valve is not interchangeable with the older 10-watt valves.

8.8 Noises

The introduction of ice & water into Active Smart® products introduced some unfamiliar noises, which are normal. The noises are difficult to hear and may not be heard during the day, but during the night they may sound louder.
Cracking Noise
The ice cracking is due to the ice tray being twisted to loosen the ice cubes in the ice tray.
Humming
There will be a low humming noise when the ice tray motor/gearbox rotates the tray to flip the ice cubes from the tray.
Clunking Noise
Ice falling into the ice bin may initially make a noise that will lessen with subsequent harvests. The reason for this is that initially there is no ice in the bin, but as the bin fills with ice the noise lessens.
Water Filling
After the ice tray empties and returns to its normal position, the water valve opens to fill the tray. The noise will be a hissing or water running noise. How often this noise occurs will be dependent on the time the water takes to freeze, form into ice blocks and then harvest into the ice bin.

8.9 Ice & Water Common Complaints

The following are common complaints/problems/concerns regarding ice and water, which may or may not have occurred. Explanation for these faults is given for the serviceman to better deal with customers having concerns.
Sublimation
When ice is not being used on a continual basis, cold dry air from the evaporator passes over the ice, causing the ice to dehydrate (evaporate, moisture is removed) and the ice will slowly disappear.
Ice Sticking Together
If the FC door is left open for an extended period or the ice bin is removed and allowed to warm up, the customer may find the ice cubes sticking together in the bin to form a large block. Where a large block of ice is formed, the block will need to be removed to start the ice making process again.
Another reason for large blocks of ice can be due to water leaking from the fill tube onto the ice tray and overflowing the mould, check for leaking diaphragm in the water inlet valve.
Discolouration / Metallic Taste
Where the water or ice cubes are discoloured, they should not be used. If the water is a greenish-blue colour the reason for this happening is copper oxide. This is not a common fault but may happen where the water supply to the house is in a copper pipe but for whatever reason the pipe is not earthed. To overcome this problem, the pipe work should be earth bonded to the earth of the house.
Bad Taste
Any fresh food, which is not sealed or wrapped when placed into the freezer, may contaminate the ice with the taste of the unwrapped foodstuff. The ice will need to be thrown out and the ice-making process started again. The customer must be advised to wrap all foodstuffs.
Ice Appears Cloudy
This problem occurs when air or air bubbles are in the water, which normally happens in the early stages and will disappear with use.
Particles In Ice And / Or Water
This is normally due to a new filter where carbon dust in the new filter needs to be flushed out of the system. The particles are harmless and safe for consumption; however, customers are advised to flush the system of three (3) litres of water at every filter replacement (refer to Use and Care manual).

• DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. (WARNING – connect to potable water supply only.)
• DO NOT install on line pressures above 827 kPa (119 psi) or below 150kPa (22 psi).
• DO NOT use on hot water supply (38
• DO NOT cut any length of water tube shorter than 500mm (20 inches).
• DO NOT install near electrical wires or water pipes that will be in the path of drilling when selecting the
location of the filter system.
• DO NOT mount the filter in such a position that it will be struck by other items, such as wastebaskets, etc.
• DO NOT install the filter or any water tubing in direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure to light can weaken
plastic components.
• DO NOT install the filter in a location that is susceptible to freezing temperatures as damage to the filter housing could occur.
• DO NOT screw the filter to the refrigerator.
• DO NOT install the filter or any water tubing in high temperature areas e.g. in a ceiling cavity.
• AVOID contamination of pipes during installation.
• DO NOT use copper tubing. The plastic tubing supplied should always be used.
• DO NOT continuously dispense water for longer than 2 minutes.
IMPORTANT
• All connections must be checked for leaks.
• If unsure of connection process and/or leaks, then contact your local plumber to install and check the
system for you.
• Ensure that the 6mm (¼”) tubing is routed away from sharp objects, sharp corners (beware of kinking tube as this will stop water flow), clear of the refrigerator unit compartment and not in a location where it can be squashed.
• Ensure that all push-fit connections are firmly pushed into place. The tube should push in 20mm (¾”) before reaching the stop.
• If the tubing is removed at any point, re-cut the end and re-insert. The tubing must be fully inserted to avoid leaks.
• To remove the tube from connection points, turn off the isolating tap, then push in the collet and gently pull the tubing at the same time.

The icemaker sensor is located on the bottom of the ice cube tray. The testing is carried out at the power module.
Icemaker sensor located under insulated pad.
Sensor Insulation.
• Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
• Remove the power module from the product.
• Test the two white wires marked “0V” and “Ice Sensor” on the controller.
• Testing of the sensor resistance should be in a known stable temperature, such as a glass of water
full of ice cubes. Refer to sensor resistance table (refer to Section
4.22).

10.1.3 Testing Icemaker Motor

Testing of the icemaker motor is carried out at the power module. NOTE: Before any testing is carried out, ensure the product has an ice bin in place and the icemaker arm is in the down position. Procedure:
• Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
• Remove the power module to expose connectors.
• Remove the connector marked Icemaker from the module.
• Check the resistance of the motor between pins 5 and 6 – resistance should be 35Ω +/- 5%.
• Check the tact switch continuity between pins 4 and 7 – the switch should be closed.
NOTE: To identify pin numbering, Pins 10 and 11 are White wires

The alternative method of testing the icemaker unit is to use a 9-volt battery plus battery terminal and a multi meter. The meter probes should be placed into the back of the icemaker 4 way socket onto the yellow and blue wires. Check the continuity of the circuit to the tact switch in the ice mould tray. The switch should be closed.
By applying a 9 volt DC supply across the white and red wires of the plug to the icemaker motor, it is possible to drive the ice mould tray forward to a full twist of the tray and the tact switch will close again.
Note:
• 9-volt battery positive to the red wire to go forward.
• 9-volt battery positive to the white wire to go backwards.
Checking the tact switch Advancing the motor

10.1.4 Testing Water Valve

10.2.1 Fault Codes

If a fault should develop in the temperature measurement system, defrost system, fans or low ambient heater, a fault code will be shown automatically on the display and the fault audio alarm will sound. At the same time, the bottom LED will flash red alternately with the fault LED(s). When any control button is pressed, the audio alarm is turned off although the display will continue to be “flashed” instead of the normal “back-lit” display.
The refrigerator goes through a sequence of tests whenever it is turned on at the power supply or whenever the door is closed while it is on. It takes 20 seconds to complete the test sequence, and opening a door will interrupt it. If, for example, there is a fault with the fans/low ambient heater connector at the power/control module (it may be unplugged), and a door is opened as soon as the fault audio alarm sounds, the fault code shown will be code 13 (low ambient heater drawing less current than expected). This is because the low ambient heater is the first item tested and so the refrigerator will fault for this but carry on with more tests. If the doors are left closed until the tests are completed (after 20 seconds), the fault code shown will be code 11 (the current measured for the ambient heater, PC fan and FC fan is lower than expected). It is therefore recommended that if the fault audio alarm sounds as soon as the refrigerator is turned on, or as soon as the doors are closed, the service technician should wait for 20 seconds before opening the door to check the fault code. This will allow the refrigerator to complete the sequence of tests and will ensure that the fault code displayed is the correct one.
To reset the audio alarm, disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply for a few seconds. If this is not done, the audio alarm will automatically reset after 72 hours.
Fault codes will be in a binary code and the LEDs that flash will have the following binary values:
32
64
Mode
To determine the value of the displayed fault code, add up the values of the LEDs that are flashing (ignore the flashing red LED). The faults and their respective fault code that can be checked and serviced in the field are as follows:
Fault Code: 1
Reason: On the last power up, the power/control module failed its self-test. Primary Action: Replace the power/control module.
Fault Code: 2
Reason: The previous 2 defrosts were aborted after 60 minutes. Primary Action: Check the defrost heater assembly in the FC. If faulty, replace. Secondary Action: Check the power/control module is supplying mains voltage (230V or 110V as
appropriate) to the heater during defrost. If not, replace the power/control module.
Fault Code: 3
Reason: The resistance of all the temperature sensors is outside the normal range
(> 45K Ohms). Primary Action: Check the 6-way RAST connector at the power/control module. Secondary Action: Re-terminate the 6-way RAST connector. Tertiary Action: Replace the power/control module.

11.1.10 Replacing Icemaker Fill Tube Heater

Fault Symptoms Checks
Explanations
Actions
Tools Required
Icemaker fill tube heater faulty. Icemaker not going / no ice / fill tube frozen. Force a harvest using diagnostics mode (refer to Section 10.1.10). If tray will not flip / water will not enter ice moulds, this indicates a fault.
Ensure icemaker is on before doing a product download. Smart Tool download (refer to Section
10.2.5) will indicate a fault code:
• 42 = icemaker current high = short circuit.
• 43 = icemaker current low = open circuit.
Test the heater resistance at the power/control module terminal. (The heater is the pink wire plugged into “door heater” slot at the bottom of power/control module.) Resistance should be approx 120 Ohms. Open or short circuit indicates a fault. In French Door cabinets produced between 20
th
December 2011 and 20th March 2012, the power/control module had a fail safe feature built into the software should the Mk2 icemaker fill tube heater fail. This prevented the icemaker harvesting and calling for water should the fill tube heater go open circuit. On these cabinets, where the icemaker fails to harvest, check for an open circuit fill tube heater. Since 20
th
March 2012, this feature has been removed from the software. Spare parts power/control modules, if fitted, do not have this feature in the software. Replace icemaker fill tube heater with spares kit, part number 821689P. This kit contains:
• Replacement heater Stainless spring clip
• 3M Insulation Displacement Terminals Aluminium foil tape
• Instruction sheet
• Screwdrivers
• Long-nosed pliers
78
Page 79
Heater Replacement Instructions: Step 1
Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
Remove the icemaker assembly to expose ice spout (refer to Section
11.1.2).
The icemaker heater can just be seen beneath the spout (arrowed).
Step 2
Using long-nosed pliers, grip the end of the heater and pull forwards. The heater is taped to the spout, so may require a little force before it will come loose.
Step 3
Pull the heater out of its pocket to expose the pink harness. There is surplus harness.
Step 4
Cut the faulty heater from the harness, but make sure to allow sufficient wire on the cabinet side to splice in the new heater.
Check the resistance of the heater to ensure this is the faulty part, not the harness.
Step 5
Use two of the 3M Insulation Displacement terminals to splice the replacement heater onto the harness. There is no polarity to check.
Ensure that the wires are fully inserted into the terminals before squeezing the connection closed.
79
Page 80
321144
Step 6
Insert the heater back into the pocket with the wires sticking out backwards.
Step 7
Insert the stainless spring clip under the heater to ensure contact between the heater and the ice tube. The bottom loop clips onto the liner plastic, leaving the double fold above it.
Loop the wires and connectors around the spout.
Step 8
Ensure the wires are well clear of the water outlet around the spout. Tape the wires against plastic
surfaces in the spout recess to ensure they cannot fall into the path of the water. This is
important to ensure there is no water splashing, icing up, or ice cube tainting.
Side view of the finished repair.
Step 9
Check the heater resistance at the module connection to ensure the heater has been successfully repaired.
The icemaker assembly can now be reassembled and the power restored. Check the icemaker operates as normal by forcing a harvest (refer to Section
10.1.10).

12 SERVICING PROCEDURES

12.1 Safety Considerations

CAUTION
ALL TERMINALS AND INTERNAL PARTS SHOULD BE
TREATED AS LIVE.
ALL SERVICING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE REFRIGERATOR
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
Before servicing this appliance, your body should be at the same voltage potential. An antistatic wrist strap must be used when handling electronic components.
Printed circuit boards removed from the refrigerator for return to Fisher & Paykel must be protected from possible electrostatic damage (ESD) while in transit by the use of the specialised packaging in which the replacement was received.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE DEVICES
Diagram
12.1

12.2 Electrical Safety Test

Whenever any part of the electrical circuit is serviced or disturbed in the course of carrying out service adjustments or procedures, it is essential that an insulation and earth continuity test be carried out using a two-scale megger. This is to be done with the appliance disconnected from power.
Insulation: At least 1 megohm Earth Continuity: No greater than 0.5 ohm
NOTE: Electronic printed circuit boards can be damaged if meggered incorrectly as phase / earth or neutral / earth.
Therefore to carry out an insulation megger test where the appliance is fitted with a electronic printed circuit board, short out both the phase and neutral conductors together at the 3 pin plug with one test lead of the megger. Connect the other lead of the megger to the earth / cabinet of the refrigerator under test.
Earth continuity can be measured between the earth pin on the 3-pin plug and the cabinet of the refrigerator.
88
Page 89

12.3 Doors and Door Gaskets

Integrally foamed doors with the outer door panel and inner door liner foamed as one unit are becoming more common for manufacturers. This means that only the door gasket can be replaced as a separate part.
All replacement doors are supplied minus the door gasket. The door gasket is a replaceable part of the door. It is held in place against the door liner by means of a moulding that locks the gasket in place once pushed into it. There are no screws or retainers to remove or fit.
To Remove the Gasket
Pull on any section of the gasket to pull it away from the moulding.
To Replace the Gasket
Having removed the old gasket, lay the new gasket around the door gasket moulding. First fit all corners, then push the remaining gasket into place around the door.

12.4 Removal Of Power/Control Module

Located in the unit compartment on the right hand side and held in place by 2 self-tapping screws.
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
2. Remove both the mounting screws and the earth screw (on the green / yellow earth wire) on the compressor mounting tray.
3. Pull the power/control module outwards to disengage the mounting lugs at the back of the module.
4. Remove all connectors along the top edge of the power/control module.
5. Remove the defrost connector (brown wires) and H-rail heater connector (if fitted, purple wires) from the connector area on the side.
6. Remove the compressor connector (4 way connector) and gently pull the compressor cable from the cable retention clips.
7. Refit in reverse order.
NOTE: It is important that the power/control module is clipped securely to the side of the unit compartment and the copper earth spring clip is not damaged, as this maintains good earthing and provides a low inductance path to the chassis for RF voltage. Check that the flat pins at the back of the module are properly engaged with the lugs on the unit compartment when refitting.

12.4.1 Initialisation Of The Power/Control Module After Installation – Non-Ice & Water Models

The power/control module needs to know whether it is fitted into a “B” or “T” model upon installation because it needs to turn on the interior light, and to identify the PC and FC compartments for the selected temperature settings.
To initialise, the serviceperson must have the FC door closed, the PC door open and then press any of the buttons on the user interface in the PC. This will initialise the module for the cabinet it is fitted into. Until then, the interior light may not turn on, indicating that the power/control module has not been initialised.
If the power/control module is moved from one cabinet to another and the model option is wrong, the PC light will turn on only when the FC door is opened. Initialise the power/control module as described in the previous paragraph.
If the power/control module is not initialised, as may be the situation for a new service module, the lights will not turn on. If the operator presses a button with both doors opened, the illegal raspberry audible feedback will sound, indicating that the module is unable to be initialised. The service installation document, which is included with the new service module, will give instructions on the initialisation of the module.

12.23 Block/Edge Connectors

Should a connector need replacement, it is important that the wiring connections be kept in the correct order to the connector. The wiring harness uses one colour of wire throughout all circuits. The circuit wiring should be traced with the aid of a multimeter before a connection is made.
When wiring any DC voltage supply or components, it is important that the correct polarity be observed.

To make a connection on an edge connector, cut the wire end square and insert it into the correct location on the edge connector itself. With the wire fully inserted, apply pressure to the terminal, which will lock the wire and terminal together.
If possible, when replacing a connector the connections should be made one at a time. For example, first cut the wire in pin 1 of the old connector and insert it into pin 1 on of the new connector. Push the pin fully home to lock the wire in place, and then move on to pin 2.
Note that these connectors contain a wall between the cavities to ‘code’ or polarize the connector. This is especially important in the case of the 4 and 6 way connectors in the power/control module. Also note that the replacement connectors are un-coded (to reduce the number of spare parts required) and therefore care must be taken that the connector is replaced in the correct socket. Check the wiring diagram and labelling on the power/control module if unsure.
