4. Fridge fan
The purpose of the fridge fan is to take the cold from freezer compartment to the
inside of the refrigerator compartment. By means of special ducting it draws the cold
air from the freezer and distributes it in the refrigerator compartment through openings
on the multiflow. The fridge fan, located on the bottom of the compartment, is
managed by the board.
When the refrigerator compartment demands refrigeration, the compressor is fed and
the fridge fan is switched on after 1 minute. When the refrigerator compartment
demands more refrigeration, the fan is switched off, even if the compressor could
remain on due to a demand for refrigeration by the freezer compartment.
Particular situations
•with Refrigerator Door open the fridge fan is not fed, even if the compressor is
working, and will be switched on again only when the refrigerator door is closed.
The fridge fan can be on even if there is no demand for refrigeration by the
refrigerator compartment. In fact, if the refrigerator door has just been closed the
fan is switched on for 3 seconds to prevent the hot and moist air that just has
entered the refrigerator compartment from descending through the delivery ducting
and freezing on the evaporator.
• after defrost: at the first switching on of the compressor after a defrost, in addition
to the 5 minute time delay for fan switching on, there is also a wait for the
evaporator coil to reach -17 °C.
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION:
Board management
Fan control circuit on the board
Connection on the board
Wiring harness
Fan connections
TESTING:
General on appliance: carry out the check using the Autotest procedure.
Wiring: check for continuity and short circuits; check the connections (connectors and
terminals); check whether voltage is available.
Component: check that the component is fed; directly check the fridge fan
(fed directly with special wiring).
Electronic board: carry out a quick visual check of the board (breakages or burnouts,
etc.); check by using a replacement.
