2.Instruction of Function

2-3. Ice Maker Function


SUPPORT ICE MAKER

ICE-MAKER KIT

GUIDE-ICE
TRAY-ICE

The Ice Maker produces ice automatically and it does not need any further manual operation.
When water is supplied to the Ice Tray and ice making is completed, it dumps ice cubes into
the Storage Bin. Then, ice is ready to be taken out through the Ice Dispenser.
2.Instruction of Function

2-3. Ice Maker Function


1) Initial Operation
1-1) At the initial power on, it maintains the Ice Tray in horizontal position for 2 hours.
1-2) After the 2-hour delay, the Eject Sensor attached on the bottom of the Ice Tray will check
its temperature. When it maintains -12.0 °C or lower for more than 5 minutes, the Ice Tray rotates to
dump the ice cubes into the Ice Storage Bin.
2) Water Supply Function
2-1) After completing the Ice Ejection (Initial, Normal, Test),it will check whether the Ice Tray is horizonta
l.
Then, when the Ice Tray is parallel, the Water Solenoid Valve located in the Machine Room will
operate to supply water to the Ice Tray.

3) Ice Making Function


●After supplying water to the Ice Tray,it freezes the water and checks whether the water is turned into
solid ice. This whole process is called Ice Making. This will be decided with the pick-up temperature
(adjustable )of the Ice-Maker Sensor.
3-1) In 58 minutes (65 minutes upon overload) after water supply to the Ice Tray, it checks the
temperature of the Ice-Maker Sensor.
3-2) When the pick-up temperature of the Ice-Maker Sensor stays at lower than -12.0 °C for 5minutes,
it'll be considered as Ice Making is completed.
During the Ice Making, the set temperature on the Display Panel won't change.
NOTE But, until the Ice Storage Bin becomes full of ice, it operates with -25 °C setting.
When the Ice Bin gets full, the Freezer compartment operates based on the
user set temperature (the temperature on the Display Panel).
2.Instruction of Function

2-3. Ice Maker Function


4) Ice Ejection
●The Ice Ejection is an operation that separates the completely frozen ice from the Ice Tray after
the completion of Ice Making.
4-1) To separate the ice, the Motor Driver IC in MAIN PCB make the Auger Motor rotate clockwise.
At this time, the rotating Ice Tray comes in contact with a fixture at one of its corners to twist itself.
Therefore, Ice on the Ice Tray is to be separated and dropped into the Ice Storage Bin.
4-2) When the Ice Ejection is completed, it will supply water to the Ice Tray (refer to 2)Water Supply
Function).
5) Test Function
● It is to run the Ice-Maker intentionally for the purpose of an operational test or repairing.
When you press the Test S/W (refer to the figure) attached on the Ice-Maker for over 1.5 sec,
it starts operating.
5-1) When the Ice-Maker is in the middle of Ice Ejection, Horizontal Positioning or Water Supply, it does
not carry out the Test function. So, when it comes to a complete horizontal position, the Test
function reacts. Also, when the Ice Bin is full with ice, the Test function does not work.
And, once the Ice Filler Lever frees its switch (indicating that the Ice Bin is not filled up),
the Test function works.
5-2) When pressing the Test button for more than 1.5 sec with the Ice Tray in its horizontal position,
it will perform the Ice Ejection whether or not water is completely frozen. So, when the water is not
completely frozen, it will splash out (so, it needs care).
After completing the Test function, it will fill up the Ice Tray again. With this Test function, you can
check Ice Ejection, Horizontal Positioning and Water Supply. When the Test function is properly
carried out,it will send out "Ding Dong" sound and supply water to the Ice Tray.
If there is no "Ding Dong"sound, the Ice Maker could be defective and it needs repairing.
2.Instruction of Function

2-3. Ice Maker Function


5-3) When it completes water supplying, it will circle through in the following order.

Ice Making ➞ Ice Ejection ➞ Horizontal Positioning ➞ Water Supply

6) Ice Off (No Ice Production)


● When ice is not needed, ice production can be stopped by pressing the Ice Off button on the
Display Panel.
1-1) Each time the Ice Off button is pressed, the Ice Off indicator lamp will be turned on and off.
1-2) The default setting is the Ice Producing. So, upon the initial Power-On the Ice Off lamp is off.
1-3) When the Ice Off (its lamp is on) is selected, the Ice Maker does not work.
1-4) When the Ice Off button is pressed, its lamp is turned off immediately. But, when it is in the
middle of Water Supply, Ice Ejection or Horizontal Positioning, the Ice Making function stops
after the water supply to the Ice Tray.
1-5) When turning off the Ice Off lamp and starting the Ice Making again, it will count time from
the point that the Ice Off is cancelled. Then, when it becomes 90 minutes, the Ice Maker
Sensor will read its temperature to decide whether to go to the next stage (Ice Ejection).
7) Functions when the Freezer Door is open
●When the Freezer Door is open, the Freezer Fan stops operating for noise reduction.
1-1) When the Freezer Door is open during Ice Ejection or Horizontal Positioning, all functions
will stop. And, when the door is closed, it will go to the normal operation mode.
1-2) When it is in the middle of Water Supply, it continues supplying water regardless of
Freezer Door status (Open or Closed).
1-3) So, when the Ice Tray is tilted with the Freezer Door open, it indicates that the Freezer Door
is opened during Ice Ejection or Horizontal Positioning. So, to make the Ice Tray horizontal
and water supplied, close the Freezer Door and check if the Ice Tray is horizontal in 30
seconds. If it is not horizontal, it is defective. Also, when the Ice Tray is tilted, the Test
function does not work. To run the Test function, wait until it completes water supplying.
2. Product function

2-4. Defrost Function


1) Freezer defrost will be determined by the total Comp-On time.
2) With the initial power on,the unit carries out Freezer defrost when the total Comp-On time bec
omes 6 hours.
3) The defrost cycle varies from 6 to 19 hours depending on its working conditions.
4) The defrost cycle is to be decided depending on the ambient temperature,the number of the
Freezer and Fridge door openings,and the duration of the Freezer and the Fridge door opening
s.
5) The followings are the Defrost reset temperatures based on the Freezer defrost sensor sensor
temperatures.

Self-Diagnosis Function upon Initial Power-On


1) When the unit is plugged into the power, MICOM diagnoses the status of the temperature
sensors in a few minutes.
2) If defective sensor is found after Self-Diagnosis, relevant Display LEDs will blink at an interval of
0.5 sec. (Refer to Self-Diagnosis Check List)
3) During a state that a defective sensor were found and its relevant LED were blinking, it would
only recognize the Self-Diagnosis button combination and it does not do the normal display.
But, the temperature will be controlled through the Emergency Operation.
4) To release these error codes, fix all the problems with the defective sensor or press the Power

1) When the the Power Freeze and the Vacation (or Power Fridge) buttons are held down for 6 seconds
at the same time during normal operation, the temperature setting display will blink at an interval of
0.5 sec for 2 seconds. When the Power Fridge and the Operation buttons are held down for 8 seconds
(including the 2-second LED blinking) at the same time, it sends out "Ding-Dong" sound and goes into
the Self-Diagnosis function.
2) When it goes into the Self-Diagnosis, the entire display panel goes off and when there is any error,
relevant segments will blink at an interval of 0.5 sec. (Refer to Self-Diagnosis Check List below)
3) When there is error, segment blinking continues for a minute and it goes to the normal operation mode,
sending out "Ding-Dong" sound, regardless of its correction.
4) Buttons won't work during Self-Diagnosis.

3) The Load Status Display mode shows the loads which MICOM sends out operational signals to.
It only means that there are operational signals from MICOM. So, it does not indicate that those signalled
loads are in operation. And, even though a specific part is displayed as in-operation, it may not operate
due to its own defect or the defective relay on PCB.
