Defrost control assembly consists of Defrost Thermostat

and FUSE--M.

Defrost Thermostat functions to defrost automatically and it

is attached to metal side of the Evaporator and senses

Temp.

Fuse-M is a safety device for preventing over-heating of the

Heater when defrosting.

At the temperature of 77=C, it stops the emission of heat

from the Heater.

I. Pull out the grille assembly.

2. Separate the connector connected with the Defrost

Control assembly and replace the Defrost Control

assembly after cutting the Tie Wrap. (Figure 14)

44 COMPRESSOR

4-1-1 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.

4-1-2 Composition

The compressor includes overload protection. The PTC

starter and OLP (overload protector) are outside the

compressor. Since the compressor is manufactured to

tolerances of 1 micron, and is 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) No Strike

If applying forcible bower or strike (dropping or careless

handling), poor operation and noise may occur.

{3) Use proper electric components appropriate to the

Compressor.

(4) Note to Keep Compressor.

If Compressor gets wet in the rain and rust in the pin of

Hermetic Terminal, the result may be poor operation

and poor contact may cause.

(5) Be careful that dust, humidity, and welding flux don't

contaminate the compressor inside when replacing the

Compressor. Dust, humidity, and flux due to welding

which contaminates the cylinder may cause leakage

and noise.

4-2 PTC-STARTER

4-2-1 Composition of PTC-Starter

(1) PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) is a no-contact

semiconductor starting device whioh uses ceramic

material consisting of BaTiO3.

(2) The higher the temperature is, the higher the resistance

value. These features are used as starting device for

the Motor.

4-2-2 Role of PTC-Starter

(1) PTC is attached to Hermetic Compressor used for

Refrigerator, Show Case, and startthg 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 flows in both main coil

and sub-coil. After the starting is over, the current in

suboeil is cut off. The proper features of PTC play all

the above roles. So, PTC is used as a motor starting

device.

4-2-4 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 beat continuously. Therefore,

if PTC isn't cooled for a while after the power has been

shot off, the motor will not restart.

4-2_5 Relation of PTC-Starter and OLP

(1) If the power is off during operation of Compressor and

the bower is on before the PTC is cooled, (instant shut-

off within 2 min. or unplugging and reconnecting), the

PTC isn't cooled and a resistance value grows. As a

result, current can't flow to the sub-coiL the Motor can't

operate, and the OLP operates by flowing over currant

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 circuit-

short and fire. Therefore, always use a properly

attached OLE

4-2-6 Note to Use PTC-Starter

(1) Be careful not to allow over-volfage and over-current.

(2) Do not strike

Don't apply a forcible power or strike.

(3) Keep apart from any liquid.

If liquid, such as oil or water away enters the PTC,

PTC materials may fail due to insulation breakdown of

the material itself.

(4) Don't change PTC at your convenience.

Don't disassemble PTC and case. If the exterior to the

PTC-starter is damaged, resistance value is altered and

it may cause poor starting of the compressor motor may

cause.

(5) Use a properly attached PTC.

4-30LP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR)

4-3-1 Definition of OLP

(1) OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the

Compressor and protects the Motor by cutting the

current to the Motor ifthe temperature dsas and

activates the bimetal spring in the OLF_

(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=

4-3-2 Role of the OLP

(1) The OLP is attached to the Hermetic Compressor used

for the Refrigerator and prevents the Motor Coil from

being started in the Compressor.

(2) Do not turn the Adjust Screw ofthe OLP in any way for

normal operation of the OLR
