ALARM MESSAGES
Alarm messages, coded A1 and A2, refer exclusively to the Freezer compartment.
Their function is to alert the user to the storage condition of food.
An A1 alarm signal is triggered when:
• the freezer temperature is higher than +2 °C;
• the freezer temperature stops for more than 4 hours, between -6 °C and
+2 °C.
An A2 alarm signal is triggered when:
• the freezer temperature is higher than +8 °C;
• an A1 alarm signal has been ongoing for over 24 hours.

ANALYSIS OF LOADS
1. Compressor
Information
How It Works: they are managed by the microcontroller based on the temperatures
measured by the probes.
Protection time: (about eight minutes) the compressor is forced not to switch itself on
before this period of time has elapsed from the last time it was switched off.
Black Out: the compressor starts running again immediately.
On/Off (on display): observes the compressor's 8 minute delayed start.
Possible cause of malfunction
Microcontroller management
Compressor driver circuit on the board
Connection on the board
Wiring
Connection on the compressor
Internal compressor breakdown/fault
TESTING:
General on the appliance: force the compressor to switch on by activating the
24h SUPER FREEZE function and check that the compressor switches on. Remember
the 8 minutes of compressor protection.
Wiring: check for continuity and short circuits; check the connections (connectors and
terminals); check for presence of voltage.
Component: check with simulated load (lamp); direct check of the compressor (powered directly).
Electronic board: visual check and quick check of the board (blowouts or burnouts,
etc.); check by using a replacement.

2. Fridge Lamp and Fridge Door Switch
INFORMATION:
How It Works: the lamp can only be switched on with the appliance ON and the
fridge door open. After the fridge door has been open for 2 minutes the lamp starts
flashing and an acoustic alarm sounds. After 4 minutes the flashing becomes quicker.
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION:
Microcontroller management
Refrigerator door circuit input on the board
Lamp driver circuit on the board
Connection on the board
Wiring
Connections on the lamp
Connections on fridge door switch
Lamp
Fridge door switch
TESTING:
General on the appliance: switch on the appliance, open the door and verify that the
lamp switches on.
carry out the check using the Autotest procedure.
Wiring: check for continuity and short circuits; check the connections (connectors and
terminals); check for presence of voltage.
Component: visual check of the lamp; direct check of the lamp (powered directly);
check by using a replacement lamp. One possible cause of incorrect lamp functioning is
a problem with the fridge door switch.

3. Solenoid valve
INFORMATION:
Solenoid valve (EV) operation is linked to demand for refrigeration from the two compartments (FR and FZ).
The component is driven by a series of electrical impulses and, once forced into position, is able to maintain that position without the need for any further energy. The electrical impulses are simply supply voltage half-waves specially selected by the control
board: (by means of special circuitry on the board: triac) positive half-waves force the
component in one direction and negative half-waves force it the opposite way. The link
between the condition of the solenoid valve and the appliance's thermodynamic circuits
(FR or FZ) depends on the connection of the driver cable and the capillary coupling.
The control board sends first of all a sequence of 10 impulses to force the solenoid
valve into the opposite state to that which is necessary and, after a few seconds (2-3s),
sends another 10 impulses to force the solenoid valve into the desired state. The purpose of this is to move the internal stop and thus ensure, during the exchange, the removal of any impurities.
To ensure that no interference has altered the state of the solenoid valve (which is sensitive to electrical interference) and that it is in the desired condition, it is automatically
refreshed every 15 minutes.
The fridge nonetheless always has priority over the freezer.
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION:
Microprocessor management
Solenoid valve driver circuit on the board
Connection on the board
Wiring
Connections on the solenoid valve
Solenoid valve
TESTING:
General on the appliance: direct cold air into the freezer compartment only by
switching on the appliance and turning the fridge knob to zero. Check that only the
freezer compartment is cold. Subsequently, turn the fridge knob to switch on both
compartments. Check that cold air is directed into the refrigerator compartment.
Wiring: check for continuity and short circuits; check the connections (connectors and
terminals); check for presence of voltage.
Component: check with simulated load (lamp); direct check of the solenoid valve.
Electronic board: visual check and quick check of the board (blowouts or burnouts,
etc.); check by using a replacement.

4. Ambient fan
INFORMATION:
How It Works: when cold air is directed into the refrigerator compartment, the ambient fan is also activated. Operation of this fan is partialized (first on then off) in accordance with the position of the fridge knob, taking into account in any case an initial delay.
After door opening, during the fridge compressor's subsequent On cycle, the ambient
fan will remain on until the compressor's next OFF cycle (therefore not partialized).
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION:
Microcontroller management
Fan driver circuit on the board
Connection on the board
Wiring
Connections on the fan
Ambient fan
TESTING:
General on the appliance: direct cold air into both fridge and freezer compartments,
open the door and hold down the fridge door switch. Visually check that, after the delayed activation period has elapsed, the ambient fan starts working.
Carry out the check using the Autotest procedure.
Wiring: check for continuity and short circuits; check the connections (connectors and
terminals); check for presence of voltage.
Component: check with simulated load (lamp); directly check the ambient fan (with
special wiring).
Electronic board: visual check and quick check of the board (blowouts or burnouts,
etc.); check by using a replacement.

5. Defrost elements (No-Frost only)
INFORMATION:
How It Works: the two elements (evaporator 72 W and 650 Ohm and drip tray 15 W
and 3200 Ohm) are both activated solely during the defrosting phase, which is ended
based on temperature or time.
In any case, the power supply of the 72 W resistor is cut off if the probe measures a
temperature of approximately +8 °C.
The time lapse between one defrosting cycle and another varies between a maximum of
30 hours to a minimum of 6 hours, and is determined by the electronic board in accordance with the table below, based on the time taken by the Freezer probe to reach +8 °C.

6. FZ Evaporator Fan (No-Frost only)
INFORMATION:
How It Works: it is always switched off with the appliance OFF and can be switched
on when the appliance is in the ON condition only if the compressor is switched on.
Delay in switching on: the fan has a start time delay of about two minutes compared
with that of the compressor and is activated only after the evaporator has cooled to below -18 °C in the first cycle after a defrosting.
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION:
Microcontroller management

7. Condenser fan
INFORMATION:
How It Works: when the appliance is OFF the fan is always OFF and when the appliance is ON, the fan will be ON only when the compressor is running; when the compressor is switched off the fan is also switched off.
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION:
Microcontroller management (for the compressor)
Driver circuit (for the compressor) on the board
Connection on the compressor terminal board
Wiring
Connection on the condenser fan
Condenser fan
TESTING:
General on the appliance: force the compressor to switch on (and, as a result, the fan)
by activating the 24h SUPER FREEZE function and verify that the fan switches on at
the same time as the compressor. Remember the 8 minutes of compressor protection.
Wiring: check for continuity and short circuits; check the connections (connectors and
terminals); check for presence of voltage.
Component: check with simulated load (lamp); direct check of the fan (powered directly).
Board: the fan is not controlled directly by the electronic board, but indirectly through
the control of the compressor.

8. Thermo fuse (No-Frost only)
INFORMATION:
How It Works: it is a safety device which is tripped, cutting off the electrical power
supply to the 72 W and 15 W resistors, when the temperature of the freezer evaporator
reaches approximately +85 °C.
The thermo fuse is housed on the metal support in contact with the freezer evaporator.
This component, having been tripped due to excessive temperature, can no longer be
used.
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION:
Connection on thermo fuse
Wiring
Thermo fuse
TESTING:
General on the appliance: carry out the check using the Autotest procedure and
check for correct functioning of the defrosting resistors (a malfunction could in any
case be due not only to the thermo fuse: see paragraphs relating to the two loads).
Wiring and component: check for continuity and short circuits; check the connections (connectors and terminals).

ANALYSIS OF PROBES
INFORMATION:
How It Works: these are temperature sensors which associate measurements in degrees centigrade with resistive values that are easily read and managed by the microprocessor on the board.
In particular, as the temperature increases, electrical resistance decreases, and as the
temperature decreases, resistance increases.
The control system utilizes four probes, which have the following functions:
FREEZER AMBIENT PROBE
This probe is located in the freezer compartment; its task is to measure the temperature
and communicate it to the microprocessor, which uses this data to manage the alarms
and the fast freezing function.
FRIDGE AMBIENT PROBE
This probe is located on the right hand wall inside the fridge compartment, inside a small
plastic cage. Its task is to measure the internal fridge temperature and communicate it to
the microprocessor, which uses this data to regulate the refrigerator's thermostat.
This is therefore the most important probe in terms of refrigerator operation, since it
determines the thermal cycles (activating and deactivating the compressor and solenoid
valve).
REFRIGERATOR EVAPORATOR PROBE
This probe is located on the fridge evaporator in the same area as the thermostat bulb
in the electromechanical version. Its task is to measure the temperature at the end of
the defrosting cycle (approx. +5 °C) and communicate it to the microprocessor every
time a defrost cycle is carried out.
FREEZER EVAPORATOR PROBE (No-Frost only)
This probe is located in contact with the freezer evaporator. Its task is to measure the
temperature (+8 °C) during freezer defrosting and deactivate the two resistors, thus
ending the defrost cycle.
If the FZ AMBIENT probe breaks: the appliance continues working since it has an alternative timed mode, but obviously the temperature alarms will no longer be signalled!
If the FR AMBIENT probe breaks (only on models with display on the door): the appliance continues working since the smart microprocessor handles alternation between
fridge and freezer.
The Autotest procedure can in any case be used to pinpoint which probe is not working!

DEMO MODE FUNCTION
The DEMO MODE can be activated by keeping the SELECT/RESET and MODE
keys pressed at the same time for more than 3 seconds, starting from an initial appliance
OFF condition.
Activating this function makes the user interface (display, keys and knobs) completely
accessible without controlling any load (compressor, fridge fan and solenoid valve), irrespective of the status of the appliance. The lamp status is controlled according to refrigerator door opening. DEMO MODE activated is shown by the flashing with the
message OFF in both fridge and freezer compartments.
The DEMO MODE can be deactivated by holding the SELECT/RESET and MODE
keys at the same time for more than 3 seconds, starting from the Freezer knob in the
OFF position.
To quit DEMO MODE, return to the product OFF condition (the word OFF on both
fridge and freezer compartments stops flashing).

CHARACTERISTICS OF R600
ADVANTAGES
•
Isobutane makes it possible to use a smaller
amount of gas compared to R134a (45%) with
greater yield.
•
Less sensitivity to humidity
(mineral oil)
•
Less noise from compressor
•
Lesser incidence of blockage
DISADVANTAGES
•
Greater attention to charges
(a few grams less/more can cause significant charge imbalances)
•
Greater attention to evacuation
(lower working pressures: greater attention to air infiltration due to the low pressures reached)
•
Greater problems of gas flow noise in the circuit
MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN R134 AND R600

DETERMINATION OF CIRCUIT CHARGE
•
Evaporation pressure corresponding to –28 °C/–30 °C
•
Refrigerator plate completely frosted over so that T1=T2
(thermocouple position as shown in the figure)
Temperature on plastic
cell -24/-26 °C
•
Filter temperature and corresponding condensation pressure
(delivered to compressor) so that:
T = Tambient + 10/15 °C
E.g: Tamb=25 °C 35<T(filter)<40
Depending on the type of refrigerant and application
