7-7) Self-diagnosis Function
① Self-diagnosis Function at the time of initial power is on.
1) When the initial power is applied to Refrigerator, all lamps light and conduct
self-diagnosis function internally.
2) If result shows no fault, display will go into the initial normal lighting state.
3) If result shows any fault, corresponding led is turned on and off and alarm
sounds.
4) Error sign of self-diagnosis continues until all defects of parts are repaired
or self-checkup function is cancelled.
5) If all corresponding parts are repaired completely, display will go into the
normal mode state.
6) After repairing Refrigerator, turn on switch again after turning it off to
make it sure if Refrigerator is properly repaired.
7) Therefore, in case open & short related problem of sensor needs to be
confirmed during A/S, turn off the power of Refrigerator and turned it on
again to operate self-Diagnosis function. Then sensor function can be
checked.
8) When any defect occurs, corresponding display signs are shown as in the
following chart.

Error
Interference of Fan due to frost, etc.,
un-insertion of connector,
disconnection, etc.
Occurrence of the case where Fan Motor of
inner refrigerator room becomes to operate
under about 600rpm at the normal operation
condition or stops driving.

Missing sensor housing in F-room,
contact defects, disconnection of wires,
defect of short-circuit sensor itself, etc.
Missing defrost-sensor housing in evaporator of
F- room, contact defects, disconnection of wires,
defect of short-circuit sensor itself, etc
Defect is indicated when temperature
sensing of F-sensor is more than +50℃
and less than -50℃.
Defect is indicated when temperature
sensing of F-sensor is more than +50℃
and less than -50℃.
Occurrence of the case where Fan Motor of inner freezer
room becomes to operate under about 600rpm at the
normal operation condition or stops driving.
Occurrence of the case where Comp Cooling Fan
Motor becomes to operate under about 600rpm at
the normal operation condition or stops driving.
Note) This self-Diagnosis works only when the open/short related aspect of sensor is bad. Minute
feature change of sensor is not judged as defect if it does not get rid of the extent of temperature
sensor described in Remark so that it is indicated as normal.
