2-2. Control of variable type of freezing room fan1. To increase cooling speed and load response speed, MICOM variably controls freezing room fan motor at the high speed

of RPM and standard RPM.

2. MICOM only operates in the input of initial power or special freezing operation or load response operation for the highspeed of RPM and operates in the standard RPM in other general operation.

3. If opening doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar while fan motor in the freezing room operates, the freezingroom fan motor normally operates (If being operated in the high speed of RPM, it converts operation to the standardRPM). However, if opening doors of freezing room or home bar, the freezing room fan motor stops.

4. As for monitoring of BLDC fan motor error in the freezing room, MICOM immediately stops the fan motor by determiningthat the BLDC fan motor is locked or poor if there would be position signal for more than 65 seconds at the BLDC motor.Then it displays failure (refer to failure diagnosis function table) at the display part of refrigerator, performs re-operation inthe cycle of 30 minutes. If normal operation is performed, poor status is released and refrigerator returns to the initialstatus (reset).

2-3. Control of M/C room fan motor1. The M/C room fan motor performs ON/OFF control by linking with the COMP.

2. It controls at the single RPM without varying RPM.

3. Failure sensing method is same as in fan motor of freezing fan motor (refer to failure diagnosis function table for failuredisplay).

2-4. Door opening alarm1. Buzzer generates alarm sound if doors are not closed even when more than a minute consecutively has passed with

doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar opened.

2. Buzzer rings three times in the interval of 0.5 second after the first one-minute has passed after doors are opened andthen repeats three times of On/Off alarm in the cycle of every 30 seconds.

3. If all the doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar are closed during door open alarm, alarm is immediatelyreleased.

2-5. Ringing of button selection buzzer1. If pressing the front display button, “Ding ~ “ sound rings.

2-6. Ringing of compulsory operation, compulsory frost removal buzzer1. If pressing the test button in the main PCB, “Phi ~ “ sound rings.

2. In selecting compulsory operation, alarm sound is repeated and completed in the cycle of On for 0.2 second and Off for1.8 second three times.

3. In selecting compulsory frost removal, alarm sound is repeated and completed in the cycle of On for 0.2 second , Off for0.2 second, On for 0.2 second and Off for 1.4 second three times.

2-7. Frost removal function1. Frost removal is performed whenever total operation time of compressor becomes 7 ~ 7.5 hour.2. In providing initial power (or returning power failure), frost removal starts whenever total operation time of compressor

becomes 4 ~ 4.5 hour.3. Frost removal is completed if temperature of a frost removal sensor becomes more than 5°C after starting frost removal.

Poor frost removal is not displaced if it does not arrive at 5°C even if two hours have passed after starting frost removal.4. No removal is done if frost removal sensor becomes poor (snapping or short-circuit).

2-8. Sequential operation of built-in productBuilt-in products such as compressor, frost removal heater, freezing room fan, Cooling Fan and step motor damper aresequentially operated as follows for preventing noise and part damage occurred due to simultaneous operation of a lot ofparts in applying initial power and completing test.

1-2. Oscillation circuit

Oscillation circuit is a circuit with the purpose of generating basic time for clock occurrence for synchronization and time calculation in relation with information transmission/receptionof inside elements of IC1 (MICOM). The OSC1 must always use rated parts since if SPEC is changed,time calculated atthe IC1 may be changed or no operation is done.

1-3. Reset circuitThe reset circuit is circuit allowing various parts such as RAM inside of MICOM (IC1) to initialize and the whole of function to start from the initial status, when initial power is input orwhen power is applied again to MICOM by a spontaneous power failure. ‘LOW’ voltage is applied to the reset terminalof MICOM in the beginning of power supply for a constant time (10ms). Reset terminal during general operation is 5V(No MICOM operates in failure of RESET IC).

1-11 Sensor resistance characteristics table

u Resistance value allowance of sensor is ±5%. u When measuring the resistance value of the sensor, allow the temperature of that sensor to stabilize for at least 3 minutes

before measuring. This delay is necessary because of the sense speed relationship. u Use a digital tester to measure the resistance. An analog tester has to great a margin of error.u Resistance of the cold storage sensor 1 and 2 shall be measured with a digital tester after separating CON8 of the PWB

ASSEMBLY and the MAIN part. u Resistance of the freezing sensor shall be measured with a digital tester after separating CON7 of the PWB ASSEMBLY

and the MAIN part.

Process Contents Tools

- Cut charging pipe ends and discharge refrigerant from Filter, side cutters

drier and compressor.

- Use R134a oil and refrigerant for compressor and drier Pipe Cutter, Gas welder, N2 gas

- Confirm N2 sealing and packing conditions before use.

Use good one for welding and assembly.

- Weld under nitrogen gas atmosphere.(N2 gas pressure:

0.1-0.2kg/cm2).

- Repair in a clean and dry place.

- Evacuate for more than forty minutes after connecting Vacuum pump(R134a

Big leak: Check visually or fingers.

Note:Do not use soapy water for check.

- Check cooling capacity

➀ Check radiator manually to see if warm.

➁ Check hot line pipe manually to see if warm.

➂ Check frost formation on the whole surface of the

evaporator.

- Remove flux from the silver weld joints with soft brush Copper brush, Rag, Tool box

or wet rag.(Flux may be the cause of corrosion and

leaks.)

- Clean R134a exclusive tools and store them in a clean

tool box or in their place.

- Installation should be conducted in accordance with the

standard installation procedure.(Leave space of more

than 5 cm from the wall for compressor compartment

3-4. Practical Work For Heavy Repair

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

- 56 -

Items Precautions

1. Removal of residual

refrigerant.

1) Remove residual refrigerant more than 5 minutes later after turning off the refrigerator.

( If not, compressor oil may leak inside.)

2) Remove retained refrigerant slowly by cutting first high pressure side (drier part) with a

nipper and then cut low pressure side.

2. Nitrogen blowing

welding.

When replacing a drier:

Weld and parts by blowing nitrogen(0.1~0.2kg/cm2) to high pressure side after

assembling a drier.

When replacing a compressor:

Weld and parts by blowing nitrogen to the low pressure side.

Note) For other parts, nitrogen blowing is not necessary because it does not produce oxidized

scales inside pipe because of its short welding time.

4-1. Sound

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

- 61 -

Problems Checks and Measures

"Whizz" sounds Explain general principles of sounds.• All refrigerator when functioning properly have normal operating sound. The

compressor and fan produce sounds.There is a fan in the freezer compartment which blows cool air to freezer andrefrigerator compartments. "Whizz" sounds are heard when the air passesthrough the narrow holes into the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

Cooling Fan sound in the compressor compartment.• There is a fan on the back of the refrigerator, which cools the compressor

compartment. If there is a small space between the refrigerator and the wall, theair circulation sounds may be noticeable.

Noise of Compressor.• This operating sound happens when the compressor compresses the

refrigerant. The compressor rotates at 3600RPM. The sound of compressoroperation becomes louder as the refrigerator capacity increases.

"Click" sounds Explain the principles of temperature change.• The sounds happens when pipes and internal evaporator in the refrigerator

compartment expand and contract as the temperature changes during therefrigerator operation. This sound also happens during defrosting, twice a day,when the ice on the evaporator melts.

"Clunk" sound Explain that it comes from the compressor when the refrigerator starts.• When the refrigerator operates, the piston and motor in the compressor rotate

at 3600RPM. This sound is caused by the vibration of motor and piston whenthey start and finish their operation. This phenomena can be compared with thatof cars. When the car engine ignites and starts to rotate, the loud soundbecomes gradually quiet. When the engine stops, it stops with vibration.

Vibration sound Check the sound whether it comes from the pipes vibration and friction.• Insert rubber or leave a space between pipes to avoid the noise.• Fix the fan blade if the noise is due to the collision of fan and shroud.• Fix the drip tray if it is loosened.

Sound depends on the installation location.• Sound becomes louder if the refrigerator is installed on a wooden floor or near a

wooden wall. Move it to the another location.• If the refrigerator is not leveled properly, a small vibration can make a loud

sound. Please adjust the level of the refrigerator.

Problems Checks and Measures

Sounds of water flowing Explain the flow of refrigerant.• When the refrigerator stops, the water flowing sound happens.

This sound happens when the liquid or vapor refrigerant flows from theevaporator to compressor.

"Click" sounds Explain the characteriistics of moving parts.• This noise comes from the MICOM controller's switch on the top of the

refrigerator when it is turned on and off.

Noise of ice maker operation Explain the procedure and principles of ice maker operation.(applicable to model with ice maker). • Automatic ice maker repeats the cycle of water supplying icemaking ice - Noise produced by ice dropping ejection. When water is supplied, the water supply valve in the machine room and hitting ice bank. makes sounds like “Whizz” and water flowing also makes sound. When water

- Noise from motor sounds “Whizz”. freezes to ice, freezing sounds such as “click, click” are heard. When ice isbeing ejected, sounds like “Whizz” produced by a motor to rotate an ice trayand ice dropping and hitting ice bank sounds are also heard.

Noise when supplying water. Explain the principles of water supplied to dispenser.• When the water supply button in the dispenser is pressed, the water supply

valve in the compressor compartment opens and let the water flow to the watertank in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment. The water is dispensedby this pressure. When this happens, motor sound and water flowing sound areheard.

Noise when supplying ice. Explain the principles of ice supply and procedure of crushed ice making in adispenser.• When ice cube button is pressed, ice stored in the ice bank is moved by a Helix

Pusher and dispensed. If crushed ice button is pressed, the cube ice iscrushed. When this happens, ice crushing and hitting ice bank sounds areheard.

4-2. Measures for Symptoms on Temperature

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

- 63 -

Problems Checks and Measures

Refrigeration is weak. Check temperature set in the temperature control knob.• Refrigerator is generally delivered with the button set at “normal use” (MID).

But customer can adjust the temperature set depending on their habit and taste.If you feel the refrigeration is weak, then set the temperature control button at“strong” position. If you adjust the button in the freezer compartment as well, the refrigeration is stronger than adjusting refrigerator only.

The food in the chilled drawer is . The chilled drawer does not freeze food.not frozen but defrosted • Use chilled drawer for storing fresh meat or fish for short periods. For storing for

a long periods or freezing food, use a freezer compartment. It is normal thatfrozen foods thaw above the freezing temperature (in the chilled drawer).

Refrigerator water is not cool. Check the water storage location.• If water is kept in the door rack, please ask to keep it in the refrigerator

compartment shelf. It will then become cooler.

Ice cream softens. Explain the characteristics of ice cream.• The freezing point of ice cream is below -15°C. Therefore ice cream may melt if

it is stored in the door rack.• Store ice cream in a cold place or set the temperature control button of a freezer

at “strong” position.

Refrigeration is too strong. Check the position of temperature control button.• Check if refrigeration is strong in whole area of the refrigerator or partly near the

outlet of the cooling air. If it is strong in whole area, set the control button at“weak”. If it is strong only near the outlet of cool air, keep food (particularly wetand easy to frozen such as bean curd and vegetables) away from the outlet.

Vegetables are frozen. Check the vegetables storage.• If vegetables are stored in the refrigerator shelf or chilled drawer instead of

vegetable drawer, they will be frozen. Set the control button at “weak” if they arealso frozen in the vegetable drawer.

The food stored at inside of Check if food is stored near the outlet of the cooling air. the shelf freezes even the • The temperature at cooling air outlet is always below the freezing point. control button is set at “MID”. Do not store food near the outlet of the cooling air as it block the air circulation.

And do not block the outlet. If the outlet of the cooling air is blocked, therefrigerator compartment will not be cooled.

4-3. Odor and Frost

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

- 64 -

Problems Checks and Measures

Odor in the refrigerator compartment. Explain the basic principles of food odor.• Each food has its own peculiar odor. Therefore it is impossible to prevent or

avoid food odor completely when food is stored in the completely sealedrefrigerator compartment. Deodorizer can absorb some portions of the odor butnot completely. The intensity of odor depends on refrigerator conditions andenvironments.

Check the temperature control button and set at “strong”.• Clean inside of the refrigerator with detergent and remove moisture. Dry inside

the refrigerator by opening the door for about 3 or 4 hours and then set thetemperature control button at “strong”.

Frost in the freezer compartment Explain the basic principles of frost formation.• The main causes for frosting:

- Door was left open.- Air penetration through the gasket- Too frequent door opening. (parties. etc.)- Hot foods are stored before they are cooled down. The temperature of freezer

is -19°C. if temperature is set at “MID”. If hot air comes into the refrigerator,fine frost forms as cold air mixes with hot air. If this happens quite often, muchfrost forms inside of the refrigerator. If the door is left open in Summer, ice mayform inside of the refrigerator.

Frost in ice tray. Explain basic principles of frost formation.• When ice tray with full of water is put into a freezer compartment, the water

evaporates. If cool air fan operates, the moisture attached to the jaw (protrudedpart) of ice mold shall freeze and form frost. If warm water was put into the icemold, the situation will become worse.

Problems Checks and Measures

The refrigerator case is hot. Explain the principles of radiator.• The radiator pipes are installed in the refrigerator case and partition plate

between the refrigerator and the freezer compartment in order to preventcondensation formation. Particularly in summer or after installation ofrefrigerator, it may feel hot but it is normal. If there is no enough space todissipate heat, it can be hotter due to lack of heat radiation. Please install arefrigerator in a well-ventilated place and leave a clearance between refrigeratorand wall:

Small holes in a door liner Explain that the hole is for releasing gas.• A small hole in the door liner is for releasing gas during insulation materials

lining work. With a releasing hole, forming can be easily done .

Electric bills are too much. Check the use conditions.• Too frequent door opening and hot food storing cause the compressor to

operate continuously and hence increase the electric consumption and bills.

Condensation on the inside Explain how to store foodswall of the refrigerator • Condensation forms when refrigerator is installed at damp area, door is compartment and the cover of frequently opened, and wet foods are not stored in the air tight container orproperly vegetable drawer. wrapped. Be sure to store wet foods in the air tight container or in the wrap.

When is the power connected? When should the power be connected ?• You can connect the power right after the installation. But if the refrigerator was

laid flat during transportation for a long period of time and the refrigerant andcompressor oils are mixed up, then this will affect badly the performance of arefrigerator. Be sure to connect the power 2~3 hours after refrigerator isinstalled.

Door does not open properly. Refrigerator compartment door does not open properly.• When the door is open, warm open air comes into the compartment and is mixed up with cool air. This mixed air shall be compressed and increase theinternal pressure when door is closed. This causes the door sticked closely tothe refrigerator in a moment. (If the refrigerator is used for a long time, it willthen open smoothly.)

When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, the freezercompartment door moves up and down.• When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, fresh air comes into

the freezer compartment and moves up and down the freezer compartmentdoor.

Door opens too easily.• There is a magnet in the gasket rubber so that it is ok. if door is securely closed

without a gap. It can be open easily if the foods in the refrigerator or freezercompartments hold the door open.

A door does not close properly. • If the rear side of the refrigerator is raised higher than front side, door shall not

be easily closed. Adjust the level of refrigerator with levelling screws.

The front side shouldbe raised a little bit higher

than the rear side.
