Step 4

Press Freezer
Temperature button
together with Mode
button for 5 sec, “0”
flashes in freezer
temperature area.

Step 5

Press Freezer
Temperature button,
1 and 3 will appear in
freezer temperature area.

Step 6

When 3 appears, remove

Step 3

Ensure proper wire order
and connect.

Step 4

Tin soldering.

Step 5

Cover point of
connection with
electrical tape.

CHECK AND TEST 5

Step 1

Measure the resistance
of heater from terminal in
freezer.

DIAGNOSIS 5


PROCEDURE 3


Step 1

Disconnect the terminals
of heater.

Step 2

Use screwdriver to
remove the heat
conductor.

Step 3

Use 6mm cross-head
screwdriver to unscrew
on the right and left
sides.

Step 4

Lift evaporator and
heater up 20mm. The
bottom of refrigerator
must be higher than the
edge of water trough.

WARNING!

REVERSE THE
ABOVE PROCESS
TO REINSTALL THE
HEATER.

CHECK AND TEST 6

Step 1

Reconnect all terminals
behind freezer air duct.

Step 2

Connect terminals with
mainboard.

Step 3

Press Freezer
Temperature button
together with Mode
button for 5 sec, “0”
flashes in freezer
temperature area.

Step 4

Press Freezer
Temperature button,
1 and 3 will appear in
freezer temperature area.

Step 5

When 3 appears, remove
finger and select manual
defrost.

DIAGNOSIS 6


PROCEDURE 4

Tip 1

When re-installing the air
duct, move the wires out
of the way so that they
