12-5) When Defrost does not operate
Pre-Check
1. With a shorted-out Defrost Sensor, the fridge operates normally excepting Defrost(The fault
can be picked up with self-diagnosis, POWER ON/OFF).
2. There will be Heating trouble with a shorted-out Temp FUSE, which contributes to Defrost
by natural Temp increase resulting in a Temp Control problem stemmed from the increased
COMP OFF time.
3. When Defrost Sensor is faulty as OPEN, Heating will not be terminated, and COMP will
remain off following the Temp FUSE short-off.(The fault can be picked up with
self-diagnosis, POWER ON/OFF)

12-6) When Alarm Sound continues without stop

Note
1. When Door gets open, Door Open alarm ("Ding Dong") goes off in 2 minutes with Door
pened.When Door remains open after this, the alarm goes off every minute.
2. When Door Switch is not pressed well, MICOM considers it as opened and alarming sound
goes off. Room Lamp becomes OFF in 10 minutessince it detectsDoor Open (based on
R600a).In this case, even though Door gets opened, Room Lamp does not comes ON.
