2) The level of icemaker tray is 2) The level of icemaker tray is
judged by output signal, high and low signal, of HALL SENSOR. Makjudged by output signal, high and low signal, of HALL SENSOR. Mak
e the tray to horizontal bye the tray to horizontal by
rotating ice ejection motor in normal or rotating ice ejection motor in normal or
reverse direction so that High/Low signal can be reverse direction so that High/Low signal can be
applied to MICOM Pin (P22).applied to MICOM Pin (P22).
3) If there is no change 3) If there is no change
in signals one minute after the geared motor in signals one minute after the geared motor
starts to operate, it stops icemaker operation and checkstarts to operate, it stops icemaker operation and check
the signal every hour. It resets initialization of icemaker when it becomes normal. the signal every hour. It resets initialization of icemaker when it becomes normal.
Ice ejection conducts for 1 cycle.Ice ejection conducts for 1 cycle.
