NEW USER INTERFACE DISPLAY 22 CUBIC FT. ICELAND
A new 22 cubic ft French Door refrigerator with ice and water (Iceland) is being introduced Fall 2007. The user interface
incorporates two new customer options; Power off and Humidity Control. The function and programming of these options are
explained for the consumer in the Use and Care Manual. It is important that the consumer understands the function of these
options to prevent unnecessary service calls.
The built in service diagnostics and troubleshooting codes remain the same as previous Iceland units. Refer to the Technical
Data Sheet shipped with the unit for information specic to the model you are servicing.

Power Off Pad
“Power Off Cooling System” describes the loads which will be turn off by that switch. “Press for 3 seconds” indicates to the
customer that the button must be pressed for a minimum of 3 seconds before feature activates.
• The Power Off key will turn the Cooling System OFF/ON as described below. When turning the Cooling System OFF,
all keypad LED’s will turn off, the 7 segment LED display will turn off, and a double beep will sound upon implementation. The
red LED associated with the Cooling On/Off switch will turn on. Any key press, not including the Cooling On/Off key, will be
ignored and an error beep given. The Cooling On/Off LED will also ash in such instances.
• In the OFF state all cooling functions (compressor, fans, and damper) operation, as well as defrost operations will
be turned off. (This will include any periodic damper cycling functions.) Water dispense operations will NOT be permitted
according to the general specications. Entry into the Service Mode and Personality Programming Mode will be permitted.
Access to Forced Defrost and the User Preference Menu will be denied.
• To turn the Cooling System back ON, press the Cooling On/Off key (no press and hold is required to turn the system
back on). No sound is generated for this event and the associated LED will turn off. The unit will turn ON and return to the
last saved set points. Any features that were previously enabled will become active, except for the Max Cool and Sabbath
functions. The Sabbath and Max Cool functions will be cancelled upon entering the Cooling On/Off mode.
• Prior to turning off the UI, the current user settings will be stored in EEPROM to be able to recover the customer
settings in case of an electrical reset.

Humidity Control Pad
• The refrigerator is designed to optimally operate in most home environments. In some demographics the refrigerator
may not be able to prevent moisture from developing in the door mullion area. The home owner can turn on the Mullion
Heater with this feature. The corresponding LED will turn on indicating that the feature is active (Mullion Heater On). The
heater will then cycle with the compressor. Pressing the key again will turn off this feature as well as the associated status
LED. Turning the heater off will save energy.
• There are only two states associated with this switch: On and Off. However, in the On state, there are two modes
of operation. The rst mode is as described above; the Mullion Heater will cycle with the compressor. The second mode is
on 100% of the time. Changing to this mode can only be done through the Service Mode. After this change, pressing this
key will still toggle the feature On/Off, but the heater will be on 100% when feature is active. The initial state of this feature
will be Off. The default on mode is the heater cycling with the compressor. The state of the switch and mode will need to be
retained in non-volatile memory.
