4-2-3. When Defrost does not work (F DEF Heater)
Defrost Sensor is
normal? (Check it
with Self-Diagnosis)
The Sensor
Temperature Value
is lower than 12℃.
After heating up for a while, it
goes back to Cooling Operation
MAIN PCB

** Sensor Resistance Reading Location **
F-DEF : Between CN30 #4 (RED) ↔ CN76-"1" (BRN)
** 0Ω : Short / ∞Ω : Open
** Sensor Voltage Reading Location **
F-DEF : Between PCB COMMON Ground
and CN30 #4 (or SEN_2)
** 0V : Short / 5V : Open
Note When the temperature of the F DEF Sensor
goes over 12℃ with the Defrost Heater heating up, it
stops heating and it goes back to Cooling Operation.
After pressing the Power Cool and
the Fridge buttons simultaneously for
6 seconds, push the Fridge button to
enter the Test Mode.
And then, when any one of the buttons
is pressed twice, the Forced Defrost will
start and "3℃, 5℃ and 7℃" LEDs will
light up on the display panel.
** Heater Resistance Reading Location **
F-DEF : Resistance between CN70 #5 (BRN) ↔
CN77 #3 (ORG) should be ohm ± 10%.
** 0Ω : Short / ∞Ω : Open
(Bimetal / Thermal Fuse / Heater Defect)
- When there is a trouble in defrosting, select the Self-Diagnosis function before turning off the unit. And,
check if there is any defect in the Defrost Heater. If not, plug out the unit and do the Trouble-Shooting. (Refer
to the Self-Diagnosis function and check the details)
