1. Test function is to check the function of PWB and products and to find defective parts when the refrigerator is out of order.
2. Test button is on the main PWB of the refrigerator. Test mode completes after 2 hours in maximum and returns to normal

conditions.

3. Function control button does not work but button recognition sound is heard during the test mode.
4. When test mode is completed, unplug and replug the power cord to return to the normal conditions.
5. When sensor is abnormal in the test mode, test mode is released and trouble code is indicated.
6. Test mode does  not work even test button is pressed when trouble code indicator is on.

* LED check function- When freezer and refrigerator temperature control buttons are pressed for more than 1 second at the

same time, all LEDS on the display are on. And it returns to the normal conditions when the buttons are released. 

* Check of freezer fan rpm variation- Freezer fan speed changes from high speed to standard speed and vice versa for 30

seconds whenever freezer and refrigerator temperature control buttons are pressed at the same time for more than 1
second when freezer fan is in operation and returns to the previous rpm.

1. Ice and cold water are available without opening refrigerator door. 

2. The desired ice (crushed or cube) or cold water are dispensed when dispenser press button (rubber button) is pressed

after selection of ice or cold water. When ice is selected, duct door opens by electric solenoid when dispenser press
switch is pressed. When dispenser press switch is released, duct door closes after it opens for 5 seconds.

3. Ice and water dispensing function stops when freezer door is open.

4. Geared motor and solenoid are automatically off if there is no signal after 3 minutes when ice (crushed and cube) or

water is selected and dispenser switch is pressed down. Solenoid (duct door) stops after 5 seconds when solenoid is off.
(in order to protect short circuit from solenoid heat generation)

5. Dispenser Lamp On/Off Function. The dispenser lamp shall be on or off whenever dispenser button is pressed or

released, respectively after selection of ice (crushed or cube) or water.

6. Water/Crushed Ice/Cube Ice Selection function

1) It is to select water/crushed ice/cube ice by user from the function control part and it will be indicated and selected by

pressing button.

2) Crushed ice is automatically selected when power is initially on.
3) When crushed ice is selected and its button is pressed, geared motor operates and crushed ice is dispensed.
4) When cube ice is selected and its button is pressed, geared motor and ice solenoid operate and cube ice is dispensed.

7. Function of Water Dispenser

1) When user selects water in the function control parts, it is indicated in the LED and water is selected.
2) Water dispenser is a direct tap water connection type. The water solenoid valve on the right of machine room opens

and water dispenses when user selects water and presses button.
