2-2. Automatic ice maker
• The automatic ice maker can automatically make 8 pieces of ice cube at a time, 80 pieces a day. But these quantities may
be varied according to various conditions including how many times the refrigerator door opens and closes.
• Ice making stops when the ice storage bin is full.
• If you don’t want to use automatic ice-maker, change the ice-maker switch to ON-OFF.
If you want to use automatic ice-maker again, change the switch to OFF-ON.
NOTE : It is normal that a noise is produced when ice made is dropped into the ice storage bin.
2-3. When ice maker does not operate smoothly
Ice is lumped together
• When ice is lumped together, take the ice lumps out of the ice storage bin, break them into small pieces, and then place
them into the ice storage bin again.
• When the ice maker produces too small or lumped together ice, the amount of water supplied to the ice maker need to
adjusted. Contact the service center.
✻ If ice is not used frequently, it may lump together.
Power failure
• Ice may drop into the freezer compartment. Take the ice storage bin out and discard all the ice then dry it and place it
back. After the machine is powered again, crushed ice will be automatically selected.
The unit is newly installed
• It takes about 12 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to make ice in the freezer compartment.
2-4. Express freezing
1. Express freezing is function to improve cooling speed of the freezing room by consecutively operating compressors and
freezing room fan.
2. Express freezing is released if power failure occurs and then returns to the original status.
3. Temperature setting is not changed even if selecting the express freezing.
4. The change of temperature setting at the freezing room or the cold storage room is allowed with express freezing
selected and prrocessed.
5. The cold storage room operates the status currently set with Express freezing selected and procesed.
6. If selecting the Express freezing, the Express freezing function is released after continuously operating compressor and
freezing room fan.
7. If frost removal starting time is arrived during Express freezing, Express freezing operation is done only for the remaining
time after completion of frost removal when the Express freezing operation time passes 90 minutes. If passing 90
minutes, Express freezing operation is done only for 2 hours after completion of frost removal.
8. If pressing Express freezing button during frost removal, the Express freezing LED is turned on but if pressing the
Express freezing, compressor operates after the remaining time has passed.
9. If selection Express freezing within 7 minutes (delay for 7 minutes of compressor) after the compressor stops,
compressor operates after the remaining time has passed.
10. The freezing room fan motor operates at the high speed of RPM during operation of Express freezing.
MICOM FUNCTION
- 24 -
2-5. Control of variable type of freezing room fan
1. To increase cooling speed and load response speed, MICOM variably controls freezing room fan motor at the high speed
of RPM and standard RPM.
2. MICOM only operates in the input of initial power or special freezing operation or load response operation for the high
speed of RPM and operates in the standard RPM in other general operation.
3. If opening doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar while fan motor in the freezing room operates, the freezing
room fan motor normally operates (If being operated in the high speed of RPM, it converts operation to the standard
RPM). However, if opening doors of freezing room or home bar, the freezing room fan motor stops.
4. As for monitoring of BLDC fan motor error in the freezing room, MICOM immediately stops the fan motor by determining
that the BLDC fan motor is locked or poor if there would be position signal for more than 65 seconds at the BLDC motor.
Then it displays failure (refer to failure diagnosis function table) at the display part of refrigerator, performs re-operation in
the cycle of 30 minutes. If normal operation is performed, poor status is released and refrigerator returns to the initial
status (reset).
2-6. Control of M/C room fan motor
1. The M/C room fan motor performs ON/OFF control by linking with the COMP.
2. It controls at the single RPM without varying RPM.
3. Failure sensing method is same as in fan motor of freezing fan motor (refer to failure diagnosis function table for failure
display).
2-7. Door opening alarm
1. Buzzer generates alarm sound if doors are not closed even when more than a minute consecutively has passed with
doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar opened.
2. Buzzer rings three times in the interval of 0.5 second after the first one-minute has passed after doors are opened and
then repeats three times of On/Off alarm in the cycle of every 30 seconds.
3. If all the doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar are closed during door open alarm, alarm is immediately
released.
2-8. Ringing of button selection buzzer
1. If pressing the front display button, “Ding ~ “ sound rings.
2-9. Ringing of compulsory operation, compulsory frost removal buzzer
1. If pressing the test button in the main PCB, “Phi ~ “ sound rings.
2. In selecting compulsory operation, alarm sound is repeated and completed in the cycle of On for 0.2 second and Off for
1.8 second three times.
3. In selecting compulsory frost removal, alarm sound is repeated and completed in the cycle of On for 0.2 second , Off for
0.2 second, On for 0.2 second and Off for 1.4 second three times.

2-10. Frost removal function
1. Frost removal is performed whenever total operation time of compressor becomes 7 ~ 7.5 hour.
2. In providing initial power (or returning power failure), frost removal starts whenever total operation time of compressor
becomes 4 ~ 4.5 hour.
3. Frost removal is completed if temperature of a frost removal sensor becomes more than 5°C after starting frost removal.
Poor frost removal is not displaced if it does not arrive at 5°C even if two hours have passed after starting frost removal.
4. No removal is done if frost removal sensor becomes poor (snapping or short-circuit).
2-11. Sequential operation of built-in product
Built-in products such as compressor, frost removal heater, freezing room fan, Cooling Fan and step motor damper are
sequentially operated as follows for preventing noise and part damage occurred due to simultaneous operation of a lot of
parts in applying initial power and completing test.
