418_58300000149521_ara_en_g Seite 30 von 139

5.2 Electronic Controller

The controller consists of two modules. The operating and display module is housed in the evaporator compartment The power module is in the machine compartment. This is where all load components are actuated and the operating module is supplied with power. Another module INVERTER is located in front of the freezer compressor, which enables to operate the compressors in different speeds.

5.3 NTC Sensor

The appliance features 5 NTC sensors. All the sensors can be changed.

The freezer and fridge compartment sensors are used for controlling the temperature inside the compartments.

The freezer and fridge compartment evaporator sensors are used for automatic defrost.

The ambient sensor is used for controlling different components.

5.4 Fridge Compartment Closed-Loop Control

The compressor is switched ON When the fridge temperature ≥ the compartment switch on temperature.

The compressor is switched OFF When the fridge temperature ≤ the compartments switch off temperature

The temperatures are picked up by the compartment sensors.

5.5 Freezer Compartment Closed-Loop Control

The compressor is switched ON When the freezer temperature >= the compartment switch on temperature.

The compressor is switched OFF When the freezer temperature <= the compartments switch off temperature

The temperatures are picked up by the compartment sensors.

418_58300000149521_ara_en_g Seite 31 von 139

5.6 Compressor

The appliance have two compressors , one for the fridge and one for the freezer. Compressor is operating with the inverter module,(optional depending on model) So the compressor is enable to run in different speeds , with the inverter module. Compressor without inverter module Compressor switches on and off according to the setpoint temperature. Compressor with inverter module Compressor switches on and off according to the setpoint temperature and runs in different speeds

The start speed is depending on the ambient temperature. Speed will be increased according the compressor operating

times. The speed is not reduced until the compressor is switched off.

Info: Speed controlled compressor has same resistance value for auxiliary and main windings.

5.7 Magnetic Valve (optional)

A magnetic valve is used in cooling cycle for energy saving option. The valve is installed in cooling circuit after the dryer. The valve closes the cooling circuit when the compressor switches off, as a result pressurized refrigerant remains between the valve and compressor. Before the compressor switches on according to the set point temperature, the valve opens the cooling circuit and pressurized refrigerant flows in to the evaporator, as a result it is enabled to have cooling performance without compressor runs.

The solenoid valve is switched on 12 s. before compressor start and switched off immediately with the compressor stop.

If the ambient temperature is higher than “35°C / 95 °F ” or the

supply voltage is lower than “107V US / 215 V EU the stop valve pre running time changes to 3 min

If the ambient temperature is higher than “35°C / 95 °F ” and

the supply voltage is lower than “107V US / 215 V EU ”the stop valve pre running time changes to ‘’8 min

418_58300000149521_ara_en_g Seite 32 von 139

5.8 Evaporator Fan

The compartment fan runs parallel to the compartment compressor. The fan operates with “pulsing” for a limited time until the evaporator reaches it’s cold condition. Special functions:

During an open door the fan is always switched off Fan is switched off during defrost period Fan is activated acc. to defrost phase and phase after

defrosting After door was closed the fan is switched on for 30s

5.9 Condenser Fan

The fan runs parallel to the compressor (if one of the compressors runs) depending on the ambient temperature.

7.31 Security Function for Magnetic Valve (From FD9012)

In some cases the cooling circuit can be blocked and the appliance stops cooling due to magnetic valve’s closed (OFF) position depending on the high ambient temperature. In high ambient temperatures (t > 35°C – 95 F) the bearing inside the valve can be jammed and stay in closed (OFF) position. To prevent this failure to happen, a technical change was realized in the production with KI change as of FD9012. Beginning from this FD the appliances were produced with new power module with modified parameter inside. The new parameter has a security function and sends signals to magnetic valve each 60 seconds to check if the valve is in open (ON) position when the compressor is running. New Power Modules US Variants 686588 European Variants 704590

For the appliances before FD9012, follow the check list. See Point 7.2 Check List - Insufficient Cooling / No Cooling (Magnetic Valve & Compressor Check List)
