LG LFX28968D - LED Error Code Analysis; LED Blinking Pattern Analysis (FCT0 Fault); LED Blinking Pattern Analysis (Stroke Trip)

12-2 Check B
B1. LED blinks once, then repeats (FCT0 Fault)
- Purpose: Detecting motor current and voltage error
- Check voltage at point A (Motor Voltage), point B (Motor Current) andPoint C (Capacitor
Voltage) when compressor is off .
- Spec: Points A, B, & C 2.5V

- Purpose: Prevent abnormally long piston strokes.
- Case 1. If compressor doesn’t work and LED blinks - Cause: Possibly harness from compressor to PCB might be
defective.
- Case 2. If compressor works intermittently and LED blinks - Cause: Condenser Fan or Freezer Fan is not running. Sealed
system problem such as moisture restriction, restriction at capillary tube or refrigerant leak.
- Logic: Compressor is forced to off and then tries to restart after 1 minute.
