SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following instructions before servicing your
refrigerator.
1. Check the refrigerator for current leakage. 7. Close the top door before opening the bottom door.
2. To prevent electric shock, unplug before servicing. Otherwise, you might hit your head when you stand up.
3. Always check line voltage and amperage. 8. When tilting the refrigerator, remove any materials on
the refrigerator, especially the thin plates(ex. Glass

 SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
AIR RECHARGING IN COMPRESSOR
Test the refrigeration system 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 R-134a 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
at last, 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 the 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)

VACUUM

PRESSURE
GAUGE
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 vacuum pump and to add asmall
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
block them, the pressure must be rebalanced when
vacuum is in the system in soldering. As soon as the
-3-

vacuum operation is over, add the quantity in grams of
R-134a to the refrigeration system. Remember that every
system has an exact quantity of R-134a with a tolerance of
±5 grams that can be added. (Figure 4)

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.

In addition, check the graduated scale on the cylinder for
the quantity of R-134a to be added, for example, if we
have 750 grams of Freon in the cylinder and must add 140
grams to the group, this amount will be reached when
R-134a has dropped to 610 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 R-134a 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 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, maintaining the same manner until
reaching to the quantity of R-134a established for the
system being charged. When the system is running, the
suction pressure must be stabilized between 0.30 to
0.6(0.10 to 0.4) atmosphere.

 4. ADJUSTMENT
4-1 COMPRESSOR
4-1-1 Role
The compressor inhales 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 is Composed of Compressor Apparatus
compressing gas, Compressor Motor moving Compressor
Apparatus and Case protecting Compressor Apparatus
and Motor. There are PTC-Starter, 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 producing without dust
or humidity, deal and repair with care.
4-1-3 Note to Use
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current.
(2) 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.
If Compressor gets wet in the rain and rust in the pin of
Hermetic Terminal, poor operation and poor contact
may cause.
(5) Be careful that dust, humidity, and flux due to welding
don't inflow in Compressor inside in replacing
Compressor. Dust, humidity, and flux due to welding
which inflows to Cylinder may cause lock and noise.
4-2 PTC-STARTER
4-2-1 Composition of PTC-Starter
(1) PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) is no-contact
semiconductor starting device which uses ceramic
material and the material consists of BaTiO3.
(2) The higher the temperature is, the higher resistance
value becomes . These features are used as starting
device of Motor.
4-2-2 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 single-
phase induction Motor.
For normal operation of single-phase induction motor, in
the starting operation flows in both main coil and sub-
coil. After the starting is over, the current is cut off in
subcoil. The proper features of PTC play the above all
roles. So, PTC is used as a starting device of motor.

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 Compressor Motor, PTC
elements generate heat continuously. Therefore,
if PTC isn't cooled for a while after power off, Motor
can't operate again.
4-2-5 Relation of PTC-Starter and OLP
(1) If power off during operation of Compressor and power
on before PTC is cooled, (instant shut-off within 2 min.
or reconnect a power plug due to misconnecting),
PTC isn't cooled and a resistance value grows. As a
result, current can't flow to the sub-coil and Motor can't
operate and OLP operates by flowing over current in
only 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, use a proper fixed OLP
without fail.
4-2-6 Note to Use PTC-Starter
(1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current.
(2) No Strike
Don't apply a forcible power or strike.
(3) Keep apart from any liquid.
If liquid such as oil or water inflows into PTC,
PTC materials it may break due to insulation
breakdown of material itself.
(4) Don't change PTC at your convenience.
Don't disassemble PTC and mold. If damaging to
outside of PTC-starter, resistance value alters and poor
starting of compressor motor may cause.
(5) Use a properly fixed PTC.
 4-3 OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) CONTACTING
POINT
4-3-1 Definition of OLP COVER
(1) OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the
Compressor and protects the Motor by cutting the BIMETAL
current to the Motor if the temperature rises and
activates the bimetal spring in the OLP.
CONTACTING
(2) When over-voltage flows to Compressor motor, the POINT
Bimetal works by heating the heater inside the OLP,
HEATER
and the OLP protects Motor by cutting off current which
flows to the Compressor Motor.
TERMINALS
4-3-2 Role of the OLP
(1) The OLP is attached to the Hermetic Compressor used
for the Refrigerator and Show Case and prevents the BIMETAL
Motor Coil from being started in the Compressor. ADJUST
(2) Do not turn the Adjust Screw of the OLP in any way for SCREW
normal operation of the OLP.
