PC Fan 

The PC fan is a 230v shaded pole motor.  The fan cycles with the compressor and turns off when 
the door is opened

.

Fault Alarm 

If the control module detects a fault, which it is unable to recover, an alarm is sounded.  The alarm 
only comes on when the door is opened.  The number of beeps indicate the fault code.  If the door 
is closed, the alarm discontinues until the door is opened again. 
 

2.12 

Compressor Starting 

The  compressor  is  started  by  the  control  module.    It  is  a timed start,  therefore  if the  compressor 
does  not  start  within  1  second,  the  controller  will  cancel  the  start.    If  the  compressor  draws  too 
much current, the overload will activate and cut power to the compressor. 
 

FAULT CODES 

If a fault should develop in the temperature measuring system, defrost system, temperature control 
variable  resistor,  or  should  the  compressor  fail  to  start,  an  audio fault  alarm  will  sound  when  the 
door  is  opened.    The  alarm  consists  of  a  number  of  beeps  emitted  by  the  beeper  located  in  the 
control module.  The number of beeps emitted indicates the fault as shown in the Fault Code table 
below. 

3.1 

Fault Code Table 

Fault 2: 

2 beeps 

Reason: 

Defrost sensor failed to reach 8º C within 30 minutes.  This has happened in 
the last three defrosts, therefore probably defrost heater failure. 

 
Action: 

Check connections at the control module and inline connectors. 

 

Check defrost heater.  If faulty, replace. 

 

Fault 3: 

3 beeps 

Reason: 

The resistance of both sensors is outside the normal range (> 45K Ohms) 

 
Primary Action: 

Check the 4-way connector at the control module. 

 
Secondary Action:  Check sensor resistance. 
 

Re-terminate the 4-way connector. 

 
Tertiary Action: 

Replace control module. 

 
 

Fault 4: 

4 beeps 

Reason: 

The resistance of both sensors is outside the normal range (< 660 Ohms). 

 
Primary Action: 

Check the 4-way connector at the control module. 

 
Secondary Action:  Check sensor resistance. 
 

Re-terminate the 4-way connector. 

 
Tertiary Action: 

Replace control module.
