Air Recharging in Compressor
Test the refrigeration by connecting it electrically before refilling operation. It is necessary to ascertain the function of the motor-compressor and identify the defects immediately. If defects have been found, empty the old system of possible R134a residue by breaking off the end of the extension piece at its narrow point. (Figure 1)
Replace the filter and any damaged components. Unsolder and pull off the piece remaining inside the service tube and then attach an complete extension with male Hansen, and solder it to the same tube again. (Figure 2)
It is necessary to execute the soldering operation with valve open so that the fumes caused by oil residue can come out freely without blowholes between two tubes during the heating of the point to be soldered.
The extension fitted with the male Hansen is connected to the female fitting of the vacuum pump tube. (Figure 3)
Air evacuating from the system begins as soon as the pump starts. The refrigeration system must be kept under vacuum until the reading on the low-pressure gauge indicates vacuum (0 absolute, -1 atm., -760 mm hg) in any case it is advisable to keep the pump running for about 30 minutes. (Figure 3)
In case that a considerable leakage occurs it will be necessary to stop the vaccum pump and to add a small quantity of Freon to the system, if vacuum should not be obtained (pressure gauge can't fall to 1 atmosphere), start the refrigeration unit and find the leakage with the special leak-finder. When the defective soldering point is visible, re-do it after opening the extension tube valve and reestablishing the normal outside pressure inside the group.
Because the melted alloy is sucked into the tubes and blocks them, the pressure must be rebalanced when vacuum is in the system in soldering. As soon as the
vacuum operation is over, add the quantity in grams of R134a to the refrigeration system. Remember that every system has an exact quantity of R134a with a tolerance of ±5 grams that can be added. (Figure 4)
Before performing this operation (if the vacuum pump and refilling cylinder are connected), make sure that the valve placed between the vacuum pump and the refilling tube are closed in order to keep the Freon for addition to the system. (Figure 5)
In addition, check the graduated scale on the cylinder for the quantity of R134a to be added, for example, if we have 750 grams of Freon in the cylinder and must add 165 grams to the group, this amount will be reached when R­134a has dropped to 585 grams, remembering that the indicator shows a lower limit of meniscus. Do this after choosing the scale corresponding to the gas pressure different scales reported as the same gas pressure indicated by the pressure gauge on the top of the column.
To make R134a flow into the system, open the valve placed at the base of the cylinder and connected to the filling tube. The amount of Freon cannot be added to the system all at once because it may cause a blocking of the motor-compressor. Therefore, proceed by adding the original quantity of about 20-30 grams and close the valve immediately. The pressure rises and the motor compressor must start sucking the gas and lowering the pressure again.
Regulate the valve again, in the safe way until reaching the quantity of R134a established for the system being charged. When the system is running, the suction pressure must be stabilized between 0.30 to 0.6 atmosphere.

1 COMPRESSOR
1) Role
The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure gas evaporated from evaporator of the refrigerator, and condenses this gas to high temperature and high pressure gas, and then plays delivering role to Condenser.
2) Composition The Compressor is composed of compressor
apparatus compressing gas, compressor motor moving compressor apparatus, and case protecting compressor apparatus and motor. There are PTC­Starter, and Over Load Protector (OLP) in the Compressor outside. On the other hand, because the Compressor consists of 1/1000mm processing precision components and is sealed after production in absence of dust or humidity, deal and repair with care.
3) Note for Usage
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current. (2) Do no strike.
If applying forcible power or strike (dropping or careless dealing), poor operation and noise may occur.
(3) Use proper electric components appropriate to the
compressor.
(4) Note to Keep Compressor dry.
If compressor gets wet in the rain and rusts in the pin of hermetic terminal, the result may be poor operation from poor contact.
(5) Be careful that dust, humidity, and welding flux don't
flow in the compressor inside in replacing the compressor. Dust, humidity, and flux due to welding which inflows to cylinder may cause lockage and noise.
2 PTC-STARTER
1) Composition of PTC-Starter
(1) PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) is a no-contact
semiconductor starting device which uses ceramic material. This material consists of BaTiO
3.
(2) The higher the temperature is, the higher becomes the
resistance value. These features are used as the starting device for the Motor.
2) Role of PTC-Starter
(1) PTC is attached to hermetic compressor used for
refrigerator, show case and starts motor.
(2) Compressor for household refrigerator applies to
single-phase induction Motor. For normal operation of the single-phase induction
motor, in the starting operation current flows in both main coil and sub-coil. After the starting is over, the current in subcoil is cut off. The proper features of PTC play all the above roles. So, PTC is used as a motor starting device.
3) PTC-Applied Circuit Diagram
According to Starting Method for the Motor
4) Motor Restarting and PTC Cooling
(1) For restarting after power off during normal compressor
motor operation, plug the power cord after 5 min. for pressure balance of refrigerating cycle and PTC cooling.
(2) During normal operation of the Compressor Motor, PTC
elements generate heat continuously. Therefore, if PTC isn't cooled for a while after the power has been shut off, the motor can't operate again.
5) Relation of PTC-Starter and OLP
(1) If the power is off during operation of compressor and
the power is on before the PTC is cooled, (instant shut­off within 2 min. or reconnect a power plug due to misconnecting), the PTC isn't cooled and a resistance value grows. As a result, current can't flow to the sub­coil and the motor can't operate and the OLP operates by flowing over current in only in the main-coil.
(2) While the OLP repeats on and off operation about 3-5
times, PTC is cooled and compressor motor performs normal operation.
If OLP doesn't operate when PTC is not cooled, compressor motor is worn away and causes a short curcuit and fire. Therefore, use a properly fixed OLP without fail.
6) Note to Use PTC-Starter
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current. (2) Do no strike.
Don't apply a forcible power or strike.
(3) Keep apart from any liquid.
If liquid such as oil or water enters the PTC, PTC materials may break due to insulation breakdown of the material itself.
(4) Don't change PTC at your convenience.
Don't disassemble PTC and mold. If the exterior of the PTC-starter is damaged, resistance value is altered and it may cause poor starting of the compressor motor.
(5) Use a properly repaired PTC.

3 OLP (OVER LOAD PROTECTOR)
1) Definition of OLP
(1) OLP (OVER LOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the
hermetic compressor and protects the motor by cutting off current in compressor motor in case of over-rising temperature by Bimetal in the OLP.
(2) When over-voltage flows to Compressor motor, the
bimetal works by heating the heater inside the OLP, and the OLP protects motor by cutting off current which flows to the compressor motor.
2) Role of the OLP
(1) The OLP is attached to the hermetic compressor used
for the refrigerator and show case and prevents the motor coil from being started in the compressor.
(2) Do not turn the adjust screw of the OLP in any way for
normal operation of the OLP. (Composition and connection Diagram of OLP)

2 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
1) ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
TRANS secondary side is composed of electric power circuits for RELAY driving electricity (12Vdc) and for supplying electricity to MICOM and IC (5Vdc). The voltage in each part is as follows.
VA1 is the part to protect over voltage and noise. When more than 385V is applied, the thermal-fuse (130°C cut-off, local option) in a first part of TRANS is cut so that the elements in the secondary side of TRANS are protected.
2) OSCILLATION CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT for CLOCK which motivates the internal local element of IC1 to transmit and receive information and BASIC TIME for calculating time. Use a proper form for OSC 1. In the event that SPECIFICATION is changed, the calculated time in IC1 is changed or IC1 isn't able to operate.
3) RESET CIRCUIT
All the internal parts of MICOM (IC1) return to the initial condition at power ON in MICOM after temporary power failure. As a result, all the functions operate acording to the early condition. At the early period of power ON the LOW voltage is applied in the RESET terminal of MICOM for the fixed time. The RESET terminal is 5 V during the general operation.
