4. ADJUSTMENT
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.
(5) When replacing the Compressor, be careful that dust,
humidity, and soldering flux don’t contaminate the inside
of the compressor. Dust, humidity, and solder flux
contaminate the cylinder and 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.
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.

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 over current
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)
4-3-1 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 and
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.

7-2 ICE MAKER FUNCTIONS
7-2-1 Ice Making Mode
1. Icemaking refers to the freezing of supplied water in the ice trays. Complete freezing is assured by measuring the
temperature of the Tray with icemaking SENSOR.
2. Icemaking starts after completion of the water fill operation.
3. The icemaking function is completed when the sensor reaches -7°C, 60 to 240 minutes after starting.
NOTE : After icemaker power is ON, the icemaker heater will be on for test for 9 sec.
7-2-2 Harvest Mode
1. Harvest (Ice removing) refers to the operation of dropping ices into the ice bin from the tray when icemaking has
completed.
2. Harvest mode:
(1) The Heater is ON for 30 seconds, then the motor starts.
(2) Harvest mode is completed if it reaches start position again while Heater & Motor are on at the same time.
A. ice bin is full : The EJECTOR stops (heater off).
B. ice bin is not full : The EJECTOR rotates twice to open for ice.
NOTE : If the EJECTOR does not rotate once within 5 minutes in status (2), separate heater control mode starts
operating to prevent the EJECTOR from being constrained. (It is recommended that the user open for ice to
return to normal mode.)
7-2-3 Fill/Park Position
1. Once a normal harvest mode has been completed, the water solenoid will be activated.
2. The amount of water is adjusted by pressing the fill key repeatedly. This changes the time allowed for fill as illustrated in
the table below.

7-2-5 Function TEST
1. This is a compulsory operation for test, service, cleaning, etc. It is operated by pressing and holding the Cube Size button for 3 seconds.
2. The test works only in the Icemaking Mode. It cannot be entered from the Harvest or Fill mode. (If there is an ERROR, it
can only be checked in the TEST mode.)
3. Caution! If the test is performed before water in the icemaker is frozen, the ejector will pass through the water. When the fill
mode begins (Stage 4), unless the water supply has been shut off, added water will overflow into the ice bin. If the control
Doesn’t operate normally in the TEST mode, check and repair as needed.
4. After water is supplied, the normal CYCLE is followed: icemakingHarvestFillPark Position.
5. Five seconds after Stage 5 is completed, the icemaker returns to MICOM control. The time needed to supply water
resets to the pre- test setting.

8. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION & CIRCUIT OF MICOM
8-1 FUNCTION
8-1-1 Function
1. When the appliance is plugged in, it is set to "4" for Refrigerator and "4" for freezer.
You can adjust the Refrigerator and the Freezer control temperature by pressing the ADJUST button.
2. When the power is initially applied or restored after a power failure, it is automatically set to "4" & "4".
8-1-2 Control of freezer fan motor
1. Freezer fan motor has high and standard RPMs.
2. High RPM is used when electricity is first on, for ICE PLUS , and when refrigerator is overloaded.
But standard RPM is used for general purposes.
3. To improve cooling speed and load corresponding speed, the RPM of freezer fan motor shall change from normal speed
to hign speed.
4. High speed (2500RPM) : Initial power on or load corresponding operation, ICE PLUS.
Normal speed ( 2200 RPM): general working conditions.
5. Fan motor stops when refrigerator of freezer door opens.
8-1-3 ICE PLUS
1. The purpose of this function is to intensify the cooling speed of freezer and to increase the amount of ice.
2. Whenever selection switch is pressed, selection/release, the LED will turn ON or OFF.
3. If there is a power cut and the refrigerator is power on again, ICE PLUS function will be canceled.
4.To activate these function you need to press the ICE PLUS key and the LED will turn ON. This function will remain
activated for 24 hrs. The first three hours the compressor and ICE PLUS will be ON. The next 21hours the freezer will
be controlled at the lowest temperature. After 24 hours or if the ICE PLUS key is pressed again, the freezer will
return to its previous temperature.
5. For the first three hours notice the following cases:
(1) Compressor and freezer fan(HIGH RPM) continuously operate for three hours.
(2) If defrost starts during ICE PLUS, ICE PLUS operates for the rest of time after defrost is
completed, when ICE PLUS operation time is less than 90 minutes.
If ICE PLUS operates for more than 90minutes, the ICE PLUS will operate for two hours after
defrost is completed.
(3) If ICE PLUS is pressed during defrost, ICE PLUS LED is on but this function will start seven
minutes after defrost is completed and it shall operate for three hours.
(4) If ICE PLUS is selected within seven minutes after compressor has stopped, the compressor (compressor
delays seven minutes) shall start after the balance of the delay time.
(5) The fan motor in the freezer compartment rotates at high speed during ICE PLUS.
6. For the rest of 21 hours, the freezer will be controlled at the lowest temperature.
8-1-4. REFRIGERATOR LAMP AUTO OFF
1. To protect the risk of lamp heat, when Refrigerator door opens for 7 min., refrigerator lamp is auto off.

8-1-7 Defrosting (removing frost)
1. Defrosting starts each time the COMPRESSOR running time reaches 7 hours.
2. For initial power on or for restoring power, defrosting starts when the compressor running time reaches 4 hours.
3. Defrosting stops if the sensor temperature reaches 46.4°F(8°C) or more. If the sensor doesn’t reach 46.4°F(8°C) in
2 hours, the defrost mode is malfunctioning. (Refer to the defect diagnosis function, 8-1-9.)
4. Defrosting won’t function if its sensor is defective (wires are cut or short circuited)
8-1-8 Electrical Parts Are Turned On Sequentially
Electrical parts such as COMP, defrosting heater, freezer FAN, etc. are turned on in the following order to prevent noise and

8-2 PCB FUNCTION
8-2-1 Power Circuit
The secondary part of the TRANSFORMER is composed of the power supply for the display, the BLDC FAN Motor drive
(15.5 V), the relay drive (12 Vdc) and the MICOM and IC (5 Vdc).
The voltage for each part is as follows:
PARTVA 1CE 3CE 4CE 5
VOLTAGE115 Vac12 Vdc15.5 Vdc5 V
VA1 is a part for preventing over voltage and noise. When 385V or higher power is applied, the inside elements are shortcircuited and broken, resulting in blowout of the fuse in order to protect the elements of the secondary part of the
TRANSFORMER.
- 23 -
Page 24
8-2-2 Oscillation Circuit
This circuit generates the base clock for calculating time and the synchro clock for transmitting data from and to the inside
logic elements of the IC1 (MICOM). Be sure to use specific replacement parts, since calculating time by the IC1 may be
changed. If changed, the OSC1 SPEC will not work.
8-2-3 Reset Circuit
The RESET circuit allows all the functions to start at the initial conditions by initializing various parts, including the RAM
inside the MICOM (IC1) when the power is initially supplied or the power supply to the MICOM is restored after a
momentary power failure. For the initial 10ms of power supply, LOW voltage is applied to the MICOM RESET terminal.
During a normal operation, 5V is applied to the RESET terminal. (If a malfunction occurs in the RESET IC, the MICOM will
not operate.)

2. Fan motor driving circuit (freezing compartment fan)
1. This circuit makes standby power 0 by cutting off power supplied to ISs inside of the fan motor in the fan motor OFF.
2. This is a circuit to perform a temporary change of speed for the fan motor and applies DC voltage up to 7.5V ~ 16V to motor.
3. This circuit prevents over-driving the fan motor by cutting off power applied to the fan motor in the lock of fan motor by
sensing the operation RPM of the fan motor.
