4. COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL
4-1 COMPRESSOR 4-1-1 Role
The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure gas from the evaporator of the refrigerator and compresses this gas to high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It then delivers the gas to the condenser.
4-1-2 Composition
The compressor includes overload protection. The PTC starter and OLP (overload protector) are attached to the outside of the compressor. Since the compressor is manufactured to tolerances of 1 micron and is hermetically sealed in a dust and moisture-free environment, use extreme caution when repairing it.
4-1-3 Note for Usage
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current. (2) If compressor is dropped or handled carelessly, poor
operation and noise may result.
(3) Use proper electric components appropriate to the
particular compressor in your product.
(4) Keep compressor dry.
If the compressor gets wet (in the rain or a damp environment) and rust forms in the pin of the Hermetic Terminal, poor operation and contact may result.
If the hermetic connector rusts out or fails, refrigerant and oil will be expelled into the contact area, probably resulting in smoke and fire.
(5) When replacing the Compressor, be careful that dust,
humidity, and soldering flux don’t contaminate the inside of the compressor. Contamination in the cylinder may cause noise, improper operation or even cause it to lock up.
4-2 PTC-STARTER 4-2-1 Composition of PTC-Starter
(1) PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) is a no-contact
semiconductor starting device which uses ceramic material consisting of BaTiO
(2) The higher the temperature is, the higher the resistance
value. These features are used as a starting device for the motor.
3.
4-2-2 Role of PTC-Starter
(1) The PTC is attached to the sealed compressor and is
used for starting the motor.
(2) The compressor is a single-phase induction motor.
Durign the starting operation, the PTC allows current flow to both the start winding and main winding.
3) As the compressor starts, the current through the PTC causes its temperature to rise, and so the resistance also rises. When the resistance reaches a high enough level, only a trickle current will be running through the start winding. This small current then keeps the PTC hot and the resistance high.

4-2-4 Motor Restarting and PTC Cooling
(1) It requires approximately 5 minutes for the pressure, to
equalize before the compressor can restart.
(2) The PTC device generates heat during operation.
Therefore, it must be allowed to cool before the compressor can restart.
4-2-5 Relation of PTC-Starter and OLP
(1) If the compressor attempts to restart before the PTC
device is cooled, the PTC device will allow current to flow only to the main winding.
(2) The OLP will open because of the overcurrent
condition. This same process will continue (3 to 5 times) when the compressor attempts to restart until the PTC device has cooled. The correct OLP must be properly attached to prevent damage to the compressor.
Parts may appear physically identical but could have different electrical ratings. Replace parts by part number and model number. Using an incorrect part could result in damage to the product, fire, injury, or possibly death.
4-2-6 Note for Using the PTC-Starter
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current. (2) Do not drop or handle carelessly. (3) Keep away from any liquid.
If liquid such as oil or water enters the PTC, PTC materials may fail due to breakdown of their insulating capabilities.
(4) If the exterior of the PTC is damaged, the resistance
value may be altered. This can cause damage to the compressor and result in a no-start or hard-to-start condition.
(5) Always use the PTC designed for the compressor and
make sure it is properly attached to the compressor. Parts may appear physically identical but could have different electrical ratings. Replace parts by part number and model number. Using an incorrect part could result in damage to the product, fire, injury, or possibly death.

4-3 OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR)
4-4 TO REMOVE THE PTC COVER
4-3-1 Definition of OLP
(1) OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the
compressor and protects the motor by opening the circuit to the motor if the temperature rises activating the bimetal spring in the OLP.
(2) When high current flows to the compressor motor, the
bimetal works by heating the heater inside the OLP, and the OLP protects the motor by cutting off the current flowing to the compressor motor.
4-3-2 Role of the OLP
(1) The OLP is attached to the sealed compressor used
for the refrigerator. It prevents the motor coil from being started in the compressor.
(2) For normal operation of the OLP, do not turn the adjust
Screw of the OLP in any way.

•Did you open the door of the unit too
Often or check if the door is sealed properly?
•Check if the ambient temperature and humidity of the surrounding air are high.
•Is there a gap in the door gasket?
•Is the unit positioned in a firm and even place?
•Are any unnecessary objects placed Behind side of the unit?
•Check if the Drip Tray is not firmly attached.
•Check if the cover of the compressor enclosure in the lower drip tray taken out.
C?
•Plug into the outlet.
•Set the switch to ON.
•Replace the fuse.
•If the voltage is low, correct the wiring.
•Place the unit about 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall.
•Place the unit away from these heat sources.
•Lower the ambient temperature.
•Put in foods after they have cooled down.
•Don't open the door too often and close it firmly.
•Set the control to Recommended position .
•Place foods in the high-temperature section. (front part)
•Set the control to Recommended position .
•Set the control to
•Seal liquid foods with wrap.
•Put in foods after they have cooled down.
•Don't open the door too often and close It firmly.
•Wipe moisture with a dry cloth. It will disappear in low temperature and humidity.
•Fill up the gap.
•Adjust the leveling screw, and position the refrigerator in a firm place.
•Remove the objects.
•Fix the drip tray firmly in the original position.
•Place the cover in its original position.
Warm position
.
Door does not close well.
Ice and foods smell unpleasant.
Other possible problems:
Check if frost forms in the freezer.
Check the refrigeration system.
Check the thermistor
•Check if the door gasket is dirty with an item like juice.
•Is the refrigerator level?
•Is there too much food in the refrigerator?
•Check if the inside of the unit is dirty.
•Are foods with a strong odor unwrapped?
•The unit smells of plastic.
Not defrosting
The system is faulty.
The operation of the thermistor is incorrect.
•Clean the door gasket.
•Position in a firm place and level the
leveling screw.
•Make sure food stored in shelves does not prevent the door from closing.
•Clean the inside of the unit.
•Wrap foods that have a strong odor.
•New products smell of plastic, but this
will go away after 1-2 weeks.
Check components of the defrosting circuit.
Perform sealed system repair.
Check the thermistor

Adjusts Ejector to Start Position with power on.
Waits until water becomes cold after starting the
Icemaking operation.
• Runs MOTOR to drop ice from the tray into the ICE BIN.
• Performs Icemaking Mode after supplying water by operating the SOLENOID in ICE VALVE.
• With the detect lever, checks if the ICE BIN is full.
• To operate LINE and SERVICE, press and hold the Cube Size button
for 3 seconds. The icemaking will run through 3 stages: Harvest Fill Icemaking.
1. Turning the Icemaker stop switch off (O) stops the icemaking function.
2. Setting the Icemaker switch to OFF and then turning it back on will reset the icemaker control.
