MODEL INTRODUCTION
All models are similar with regard to the furniture design, but there are variations for energy consumption
and exterior colour.
Model FF187E interior:
The interior of the fridge has glass shelves, chromed steel wine rack and two salad bins with a glass cover.
The door has a bottle shelf with retainer, dairy shelf with a lid and one commodity shelf.
The freezer section has four drawers of varying sizes, the lower two drawers have ice cube compartments
inserted in the top of the drawer fronts.
Model FF200E interior:
The interior of the fridge has glass shelves, chromed steel wine rack, fresh box (chiller compartment) and
one full width salad bin with a glass cover. The door has a deep bottle shelf with retainer, dairy shelf with a
lid and one commodity shelf. The freezer section has four drawers of varying sizes, the lower two drawers
have ice cube compartments inserted in the top of the drawer fronts.
The electronic thermostat and LED interface are all part of the power module mounted in the top facia of the
appliance; The fridge and freezer temperature settings are adjusted by operating the control knobs mounted
in the top facia. All functions are monitored and actioned by the power module mounted in the top facia of
the appliance. The fridge baffle is of a motorised type, mounted in the multi-flow unit. The fridge temperature
is monitored by a sensor mounted in the return ducting behind the fridge multiflow unit.
The fridge and freezer temperatures are monitored by sensors located in the following locations:
1. Fridge Sensor ~ mounted in the return duct behind the fridge multiflow unit;
2. Freezer Air Sensor ~ mounted in the lower right side of the freezer cabinet liner;
3. Freezer Evaporator Sensor ~ inserted into the top right of the evaporator.
The sensors (thermistors) are not replaceable because they are for the most part foamed behind the liner
where they are not affected by moisture. The sensors are double insulated and in the unlikely event of
failure a section of the power module is programmed to respond and control the functions on a timed basis
from there on in.
The appliance is "no-frost" design (Full Frost-Free) so defrosting is automatic.
All models have rear wheels located in the compressor base plate with adjustable feet fitted at the front.
Doors are reversible, but do require a T20 Torx key to remove the plinth / kick strip.
The climate class is SN / ST signifying that it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between
+10C to +38C. As with many refrigeration appliances, it is important that it is installed and operated within
the recommended ambient temperature range and that there is adequate ventilation.

COMPONENT FUNCTION
General Information
The power module is made up of a number of smaller individual modules (sections), each one
controlling a functional component. The modules are linked together when required to control a
particular function or functions. The linking of the individual modules is optional and therefore allows for
each module to be switched ON or OFF, this is determined from the data stored or collected by the
modules and the results of module comparisons.
The power module memory stores information such as temperatures and times.
Having individual set of parameter values built in to it, directly aimed at providing the specific control
needs for the physical and system characteristics of the model type.
Fridge & Freezer Control
The power module monitors the fridge and freezer air sensors, comparing their sensor resistance values
with the cut-in and cut-out parameter values stored in its memory.
Although the parameters are set, they allow for adjustment within those parameters so that the user has
control. The results from the comparisons will determine if cooling is initiated, other circuits of the
module will also use the results.
The power module will enable normal operation provided there is no malfunction condition.
Fridge or Freezer Malfunction Module
The fridge or freezer malfunction module enables the appliance to continue operating in the unlikely
hood of the fridge or freezer sensors failing. Pre-set timed functions stored in the module memory are
used to cycle cold request on and off.
A malfunction occurs when the fridge or freezer cabinet sensors return a value to the module of either
Open or Closed circuit, rather than a particular resistance value.
Freezer Evaporator Fan Module
The freezer fan is located above the evaporator coil and is designed to distribute the cold air produced
by the evaporator coil uniformly inside the freezer compartment and when necessary in the fridge
compartment.
The freezer fan is managed by the module and is switched on/off after a preset time interval that is
parameterised in the module memory after a compressor start/stop.
The defrost procedure is preceded by activation of the fan for a timed interval that is parameterised in
the module memory. The fan will not operate when in the defrost cycle.
After the defrost cycle the fan starts after a timed interval following a compressor start, this interval is
also parameterised in the module memory; this interval is different from the interval programmed for
normal operating conditions.
Electronic Motorised Damper Assembly (Baffle)
The purpose of the damper is to allow the cold air produced by the freezer evaporator to be distributed
inside the refrigerator compartment.
The damper is located behind the fridge multi-flow unit in the upper section. It is controlled by a
thermistor positioned into the exhaust (return) duct connecting the evaporator to the damper.
Cold air from the evaporator is distributed in the refrigerator compartment by openings on the multi-flow
unit. (See the Air Flow Diagram on page 18.)
Service Manual UK

Indesit Company
Compressor
The compressor is managed by the power module and switches on whenever a demand for cooling is
received.
There are situations of cooling demand in which the compressor remains off. These are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Compressor protection: the compressor switches on once a minimum safety time lag has elapsed
since the last power-off, thereby allowing the refrigerant gas pressure to reach a point of equilibrium
in the refrigerant circuit. The same minimum safety time is observed in the event of a mains power
interruption (voluntary or involuntary). This compressor protection strategy is observed only after
the product has been operating continuously for the number of hours defined in the module
memory.
Long periods of activity: if the compressor remains on for more than a value set in module
memory it is switched off, even in the presence of a cooling demand.
Pause after defrost: at the end of the defrost cycle the compressor observes a protection time
parameterised in the module memory so that the water formed during the defrost can be completely
drained.

The use of an Eeprom is no longer necessary. The module does not have this component and there is
no Eeprom socket for inserting it. The programme file will be stored directly in the microprocessor.
Due to the module being mounted in the top front facia a new adaptor is necessary to connect the
module. This new adaptor is similar to the earlier low end adaptor, but is compatible with EVOI, EVOII
and New Platform modules. Part No. C00255979.
See photo 1 & 1a below.

The new adaptor can be identified with Version 2007 printed on the plastic housing.
NOTE: The previous low end adaptor can be identified with Version 2005 printed on the plastic
housing. Version 2005 adaptors must not be connected to New Platform modules.
There are two different methods of programming the module:

DOOR REVERSAL
Important Notes for Guidance:
Before commencing any work refer to the Safety Notes at the beginning of this manual.
Read the instructions below fully and refer to the diagrams on the right before carrying out the door reversal.
Note: Before commencing the door reversal, you will require the left door stops and centre hinge
blanking plugs normally supplied loose with the literature pack that comes with the appliance.
If the door stops are not available then they will need to be ordered before proceeding.
A: Reversing the Top Hinge
Remove the top hinge-blanking plug from the top of the fridge door. Fig. 1
c
Unclip the door hinge cover magnet strip. While supporting the
a
fridge door, unscrew and remove the top hinge pin and lift the door
from the centre hinge (Fig. 1a).
While supporting the freezer door remove the centre hinge and lift
the door from the bottom hinge pin (Fig. 1b).
b
Remove the upper door hinge, invert and transfer it over to the
other side. The original fixing screws are reused to
refit it (Fig. 1c).
Remove the hinge blanking covers from the control panel and
Fig. 2
remove the top hinge, invert and transfer them over to the other
side. The original fixing screws are reused to refit it (Fig. 2).
B: Front Base Moulding (Plinth)
Unscrew the two front screws securing the plinth to the base and
remove plinth. Remove the lower hinge and slide down the fixing
plate, transfer them both to the left hand side. The hinge pin also
needs to be transferred to the left pre-threaded hole (Fig. 3).
Before the plinth is screwed back in place, cut out the pre marked
blanking plate on the left side and use the blanking plate supplied
over to the right side (Fig. 3).
C: Reversing the Top Hinge Bushes and Door Stops
Remove the bottom right hand door stops and fit the left hand door
stops (supplied with the appliance) into the bottom left hand side of
both doors. Locate the door stop peg and secure in place with the
original self-tapping screw (Fig. 4).
Transfer the top blanking plug to the right side of the fridge door.
Transfer the hinge bush and blanking plug over on the freezer door
(Fig. 4).
D: Top Hinge Pin and Door Assembly
If the holes are not present on the left hand side for the centre
hinge, carefully position and drill two 3 mm pilot holes guided by the
indented markings on the centre transom. Ensure the drill bit does
not run too deeply into the appliance (Fig. 5a).
Fit the blanking plugs provided with the appliance into the right
hand two centre hinge holes that are now vacant (Fig. 5b).
Place the freezer door onto the bottom hinge pin.
While supporting the door screw the centre hinge into position
(Fig. 5c).
Place the fridge door onto the centre hinge pin and align it with the
top hinge assembly and screw the top hinge pin in. Refit the hinge
blanking plug and the door hinge cover magnet strip to the fridge
door, noting that the cut-out end corresponds with the hinge (Fig.
5d). Finally check the door operation.
