4-1 COMPRESSOR
4-1-1 Role
Starting
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
N
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 dont 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 BaTiO3.
(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.

NOTE : LED CHECK MODE: When the WARMER button in the refrigerator temperature control and the WARMER button in
the freezer temperature control are pushed and held for 1 second or longer, every LED on the display turns on at
the same time. When the buttons are released, the previous mode is restored.
* Freezer Fan RPM Variable Check:
In case the freezer fan is in operation when the WARMER KEY in Refrigerator and Freezer Temp. Control are pressed for
more than one second at the same time freezer fan RPM changes. (for example if high speed, to normal speed or if
normal speed, to high speed for 30 seconds)
After 30 seconds, it turns to its original RPM.
* Demostration MODE:
1. When the WARMER KEY of refrigerator Temp. control or of freezer Temp. control in the the warmest temperatures
status are pushed and held for 3 seconds or longer, It converts to Demonstration Mode.
2. It shows OFF on the display panel.
3. In this status, all Loads are off (Compressor / Fan / Damper / Heater)
(Even is Demonstration Mode, the refrigerator Lamp automatic off function warks normally and can be demonstrated)
4. Exit the test mode and reset the display by pressing the COLDER and WARMER buttons.

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:
PART
VA 1
CE 3
CE 4
CE 5
VOLTAGE
115 Vac
12 Vdc
15.5 Vdc
5V
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.
- 29 -
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.
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.)

NOTE : LED CHECK MODE: When the refrigerator temperature control and the freezer temperature control button at the
same time are hold for 1 second or longer, every LED on the display turns on at the same time. when the button are
relesed, the previous mode is restored.
* Freezer Fan RPM Variable Check:
In case the freezer fan is in operation when the WARMER KEY in Refrigerator and Freezer Temp. Control are pressed for
more than one second at the same time freezer fan RPM changes. (for example if high speed, to normal speed or if
normal speed, to high speed for 30 seconds)
After 30 seconds, it turns to its original RPM.
* Demonstration MODE:
1. When the KEY of refrigerator Temp. control or of freezer Temp. control is pushed and held over 5 seconds, warmest
temperatures It converts to Demonstration Mode.
2. In this status, each LED is rotated with 1 second interval.
3. In this status, all Loads are off (Compressor / Fan / Damper / Heater)
(Even is Demonstration Mode, the refrigerator Lamp automatic off function warks normally and can be demonstrated)
4. It reset if you do again as clause.

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:
PART
VA 1
CE 2
CE 1
CE 4
VOLTAGE
115 Vac
12 Vdc
15.5 Vdc
5V
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.
- 49 -
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.
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.)
