3.0 Description of appliance
The CBN(P)es ..67 is a combined fridge-freezer with BioFresh/BioFreshPlus and NoFrost with IceMaker. The refrigerator-BioFresh and freezer compartment evaporators are activated via a bi-stable solenoid valve. Both evaporators are connected in series (see 4.2.4 Schematic diagram: Refrigerating circuit). Therefore the refrigerator-BioFresh compartment can be operated only in conjunction with the freezer compartment. However, it is possible to operate the freezer compartment on its own.
The refrigerator compartment and BioFresh compartment are cooled using a foamed-in evaporator. The evaporator is thermally sealed off by a foamed, vertical separating plate.
A DC fan is used for temperature balance between the refrigerator compartment, BioFreshPlus and BioFresh compartment. In conjunction with the air flap in each case, the fan provides for the supply of cold air needed. The fan is integrated in the vertical separating plate.
If the refrigerator, BioFreshPlus or BioFresh compartment needs cooling (detection by the respective air sensor), the fan is switched on and the associated air flap is opened. The fan takes in the warm air from the front and blows it down past the evaporator.
When it is sufficiently cold in one of the compartments, the respective air flap is closed. The compressor and the fan continue running only until such time as the other compartments have reached the switch-off value and the air flaps close.
The freezer compartment is equipped with a NoFrost rear wall evaporator module, fan module, air sensor and evaporator sensor. The defrosting phases are initiated by way of the electronic control system, taking compressor running time and door openings into account. There is an automatic IceMaker in the freezer compartment.

8.2 Troubleshooting VCC compressor/inverter
8.2.1 Inverter test/frequency signal with diagnostic LED
A green LED flashes through the light-permeable cover of the VCC inverter to indicate malfunction such as
- Inverter error - Compressor error
- Frequency cable/signal error
by different LED flash codes.
The meaning of the different flash codes:
1 flash (every 15 seconds.) No error
2 flashes (every 5 seconds) No frequency signal from PCB 3 flashes (every 5 seconds) Inverter error
4 flashes (every 5 seconds) Compressor error
The error codes have to be processed in succession. Once an error code has been processed, a new error code may re-appear.
Fig. 8.2.1/ 1 Inverter with diagnostic LED
Page 54/55
8.2.2 Checking the inverter and the frequency signal
Note: On-delay time must have elapsed
Attention: In case of interruption of the frequency signal, the compressor starts only after 90 seconds!!
Is the compressor
running?
Frequency signal faulty / not connected or power PCB faulty.
Connect appliance to a power meter.
Switch appliance ON.
Does the compressor
stay at a standstill?
Press SF
Inverter; power PCB and the frequency cable are OK.
see 8.2.3
Switch the appliance OFF
Inverter faulty
Frequency signal faulty / not connected or power PCB faulty.
Is the compressor running after 90
seconds?
Does the speed increase, higher power input?
No
Yes
Yes
No
No
Yes
No
Yes
8.2.3 Checking the compressor
Fault profile: Compressor does not run (not even after a waiting time of 90 secs)
Select compressor ON in the service menu. If the compressor now starts there was probably an operator error. Otherwise proceed as described below.
At the inverter, line voltage (230V) must be applied between N and 1/C.
Pull off frequency signal connector (lilac) from the inverter, wait 90 secs.
Replace inverter electronic module.
If the compressor still does not run, replace the compressor.
Then replace the inverter back again.
Presumably operator error.
Check speed increase!
Is voltage applied to the
inverter?
Isthe compressor
running?
Fault at cable connection / connector or power PCB.
Power PCB or inverter fault.
No
Yes
