CHECK AND TEST 1
Unscrew cover of mainboard with a cross-head screwdriver.
Disconnect terminals.
Measure resistance of heater from terminal in PCB area.
Check the result.

PROCEDURE 1
Remove all drawers.
Remove all shelves.
Remove the vertical partition plate:
a. Insert 2mm slotted screwdriver into the gap;
b. Lever up the cover plate from bottom;

b. Pull air duct out from below;
c. Disconnect the terminal for fan motor;
d. Disconnect the terminal of freezer temp. sensor;
e. Remove air duct.
CHECK AND TEST 2
Check to see if terminal is full of foam.
If yes, use tweezers to remove foam.
Ensure terminals behind freezer air duct are properly inserted.
Connect terminals with mainboard.
Press Freezer Temp. button along with Mode button for 5 sec, “0” flashes in freezer temperature area.
Press Freezer Temperature button, 1 and 3 will appear in freezer temperature area.
When 3 appears, remove finger and select manual defrost.
DIAGNOSIS 2
CHECK AND TEST 3
Use wire to connect the 2 ends of terminal behind freezer air duct.
Use multimeter to check whether the connection of wires is good or not.
DIAGNOSIS 3
CHECK AND TEST 4
Check if wires for defrost heater are broken or not.
DIAGNOSIS 4
PROCEDURE 2
Cut off the wire.
Peel off the sleeves.
Ensure proper wire order and connect.
Tin soldering.
Cover point of connection with electrical tape.
CHECK AND TEST 5
Measure the resistance of heater from terminal in freezer.
DIAGNOSIS 5
PROCEDURE 3
Disconnect the terminals of heater.
Use screwdriver to remove the heat conductor.
Use 6mm cross-head screwdriver to unscrew on the right and left sides.
DIAGNOSIS 6
CHECK AND TEST 6
Reconnect all terminals behind freezer air duct.
Connect terminals with mainboard.
Press Freezer Temp. button along with Mode button for 5 sec, “0” flashes in freezer temperature area.
Press Freezer Temperature button, 1 and 3 will appear in freezer temperature area.
When 3 appears, remove finger and select manual defrost.
DIAGNOSIS 6
When re-installing the air duct, move the wires out of the way so that they won’t be crushed by air duct.
After pushing the air duct into position there should be a clicking sound. If not, install again.
Check to see if there is a wide gap between air duct and cabinet.
IF SO, install air duct again.
Ensure that latches are properly inserted into cavities.
First, insert top of cover plate into the gap. Then, bend plate to insert the bottom. Lastly, snap middle into place.
