TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

	Problems	Checks and Measures
Sounds of water flowing		■ Explain the flow of refrigerant.
		• When the refrigerator stops, the water flowing sound happens.
		This sound happens when the liquid or vapor refrigerant flows from the
		evaporator to compressor.
"Click" sounds		■ Explain the characteriistics of moving parts.
		• This noise comes from the MICOM controller's switch on the top of the
		refrigerator when it is turned on and off.
Noise of ice maker operation		■ Explain the procedure and principles of ice maker operation.
(applicable to model with ice maker).		• Automatic ice maker repeats the cycle of water supplying ➝ icemaking ➝ ice
- Noise produced by ice dropping		ejection. When water is supplied, the water supply valve in the machine room

- Noise from motor sounds “Whizz”.		freezes to ice, freezing sounds such as “click, click” are heard. When ice is
		being ejected, sounds like “Whizz” produced by a motor to rotate an ice tray
		and ice dropping and hitting ice bank sounds are also heard.
Noise when	supplying water.	■ Explain the principles of water supplied to dispenser.
		• When the water supply button in the dispenser is pressed, the water supply
		valve in the compressor compartment opens and let the water flow to the water
		tank in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment. The water is dispensed
		by this pressure. When this happens, motor sound and water flowing sound are
		heard.
Noise when	supplying ice.	■ Explain the principles of ice supply and procedure of crushed ice making in a
		dispenser.
		• When ice cube button is pressed, ice stored in the ice bank is moved by a Helix
		Pusher and dispensed. If crushed ice button is pressed, the cube ice is
		crushed. When this happens, ice crushing and hitting ice bank sounds are
		heard.
