This circuit shows SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply) which converts AC input voltage (230V, 50Hz) to a high DC
voltage (about 320V). The input AC source power is converted to DC through a wave rectifier (BD1) and the converted
DC power will generate a constant waveform on the switching transformer using a high speed (100KHz) switching motion
of TOP223Y. The D104 will rectify the generated voltage and transform into a steady 12V DC source power used for the
digital display panel and relays. The regulator (KA7805) finally transforms into 5V DC source power for the control board
and sensor’s circuits.
Caution) Be careful to handle this circuit due to high voltages (AC1 15V, DC170V)
This is oscillator circuit to generate synchronous clocks used to calculate the time for the microprocessor operation.
Note) If the specification of a resonator changes, micro-processor can not work properly .
The reset circuit is to initialize the values RAM & other sectors of micro-processor. When the power is engaged initially,
the reset voltage becomes “Low,” and it keeps “High” in the normal operation.

1) A thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) is used for a temperature sensor .
2) Resistors, R 306 ∼ R310 and capacitors, C 301 ∼ C 305 are used for a noise protection purpose.
3) For the F-sensor, the input voltage into the micro processor (MICOM), VF is calculated by (Rth x Vcc)/(R303+ Rth),
where Rth is a corresponding resistance to the thermistor’s output (See Ref. 6 in Appendix).
4) The F-Def sensor is connected with a bimetal and a temperature sensor is in parallel. In a normal operation of the
system, the bimetal is on and 0V is input into the micro-processor. During a defrost cycle, the bimetal will be of f from
54℉, and a divided voltage with R304 enter to the micro-processor to keep sensing the set temperature.

10-6) Key Scan and Display Circuit
1) Key Scan and display operation.
The model uses a decorder IC which 4 inputs and 9 outputs.
If the IC 9 decorder (TC4028BP) receivesd signals from
MICOM pins (3∼6), an output signal per 2 miliseconds
comes out from Q3, Q41, Q8, Q6, Q9, Q7, Q0, Q2, and Q4
pin in sequence. This signal enters to a driver IC input
terminal of the CoolSelect Zone
TM
PCB and IC5 (TD
62783AP), then approximate 1 1V peaks will generate from an
output terminal as shown on the next page.

Circuit Descriptions
The step signals of DC 1 1∼ 12V will be generated periodically. If a sink signal outputs from IC4, DC 11-12V will be
applied to the LED input terminal and sink the LED output terminal to 0V. Therefore, LED will be ON for 2 miliseconds.
2) Key Scan
The 6 step signals, Q6∼Q4 are applied to scan the 6 keys (buttons). When SW6 is pressed, the step signal from Q6
will be reduced to 5V and entered to the MICOM, then MICOM will match a corresponding function for SW6 key .

2-1) CoolSelect ZoneTMDrawer is controlled by a damper to supply or block cold air. For Quick Cool, the damper will be
close. So cold air is supplied only to CoolSelect Zone
TM
Drawer. For Thaw, the evaporator heater of refrigerator is
ON and the damper is controlled by the refrigerator temperature.
2-2) The stepping motor controlled by a Driver IC T A7774P(IC7) operates the damper. The stepping motor uses 4
combined signals to open and close the damper.
Note) To prevent the malfunction from a high humidity , a DC 12V, 1 watt heater is mounted and activated continuously.

10-9) EEPROM Circuit
EEPROM is semiconductor memory not to be
erased. It can be used in the area of unstable
electric power.
1-3) When the motor rpm is in 600∼700, it will stop automatically and it tries to resume after 10 seconds. If the motor is
not working properly after 5 time trials, it will rest for 10 minutes, then try to resume again. This process will be
done continuously .
Note) If there is an abnormal situation for the motor, the self-diagnostics will show the corresponding LED segment.
1) The control of load in the system is accomplished by the main PCB.
2) Most of relays or SSRs can control the compressor, refrigerator/freezer defrost heater, and several option functions.
3) For the compressor, #18 pin of micro processor signals High (5V). This signal enters #5 pin of IC3 and #14 of output
terminal which have base and collector functions of IC3 turns on and connects the GND. Relay 73 will be grounded
through #14 of IC. Magnetic field will generate so that the second side of RY73 is activated and 115V is supplied to
the compressor. On the other hands, if #18 of micro processor turns Low(0V), #5 of IC3, the current of R Y 73 relay,
and magnetic field will shut down in sequence. A contact point in secondary side of Relay 73 is off. Finally compressor
will stop.
There are a variety of models that have a
different function. A different model can set up to
use option circuit as shown.
