4-3-1 Definition of OLP

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

Compressor and protects the Motor by opening the
circuit to the Motor if the temperature rises and

(2) When high current flows to the Compressor motor, the
Bimetal works by heating the heater inside the OLP,
and the OLP protects the Motor by cutting off the
current flowing to the Compressor Motor.

temperature of the Tray with icemaking SENSOR.
2. Icemaking starts after completion of the water fill operation.
3. The icemaking function is completed when the sensor reaches -7°C, 60 to 240 minutes after starting.

NOTE : After icemaker power is ON, the icemaker heater will be on for test for 9 sec.

7-2-2 Harvest Mode

1. Harvest (Ice removing) refers to the operation of dropping ices into the ice bin from the tray when icemaking has
completed.
2. Harvest mode:
(1) The Heater is ON for 30 seconds, then the motor starts.
(2) Harvest mode is completed if it reaches start position again while Heater & Motor are on at the same time.
A. ice bin is full : The EJECTOR stops (heater off).
B. ice bin is not full : The EJECTOR rotates twice to open for ice.
NOTE : If the EJECTOR does not rotate once within 5 minutes in status (2), separate heater control mode starts
operating to prevent the EJECTOR from being constrained. (It is recommended that the user open for ice to
return to normal mode.)

7-2-3 Fill/Park Position

8-1-2 Control of freezer fan motor

1. Freezer fan motor has high and standard RPMs.

2. High RPM is used when electricity is first on, for ICE PLUS, and when refrigerator is overloaded.
But standard RPM is used for general purposes.
3. To improve cooling speed and load corresponding speed, the RPM of freezer fan motor shall change from normal speed to
high speed.
4. High speed (2500RPM): initial power on or load corresponding operation, ICE PLUS.
Normal speed (2200 RPM): general working conditions.
5. Fan motor is stopped when Refrigerator Door is opened.
6. The fan motor is stopped when Freezer Door is opened (only if compressor status is OFF)

8-1-3 Ice Plus

1. The purpose of this funstion is to intensify the cooling speed of freezer and to increase the amount of ice.
2. Whenever selection switch is pressed, selection/release, the LED will turn ON or OFF.
3. If there is a power cut and the refrigerator is power on again, ICE PLUS function will be canceled.
4. To activate these function you need to press the ICE PLUS key and the LED will turn ON. This function will remain activated
for 24 hrs. The first three hours the compressor and ICE PLUS will be ON. The next 21 hours the freezer will be controlled at
the lowest temperature. After 24 hours or if the ICE PLUS key is pressed again, the freezer will return to its previous
temperature.
5. Fot the first three hours notice the following cases:
(1) Compressor and freezer fan (HIGH RPM) continuously operate for three hours.
(2) If defrost starts during ICE PLUS, ICE PLUS operates for the rest of time after defrost is completed, when ICE PLUS
operation time is less than 90 minutes.
(3) If ICE PLUS is pressed during defrost, ICE PLUS LED is on but this function will start seven minutes after defrost is
completed and it shall operate for three hours.
(4) If ICE PLUS is selected within seven minutes after compressor has stopped, the compressor (compressor delays seven
minutes) shall start after the balance of the delay time.
(5) The fan motor in the freezer cmpartment rotates at high speed during ICE PLUS.
For the rest of 21 hours, the freezer will be controlled at the lowest temperature.

2. In case of any door has been opened the defrosting period will start considering the next conditions:
If compressor running time is bigger than 7 hours when door is opened: Defrosting starts immediately.
If compressor running time is less than 7 hours when door is opened: Defrosting starts after a compensation time is applied.
3. For initial power on or for restoring power, defrosting starts when the compressor running time reaches 4 hours.
4. Defrosting stops if the sensor temperature reaches 46.4°F(8°C) or more. If the sensor doesn’t reach 46.4°F(8°C) in 2 hours,
the defrost mode is malfunctioning.
5. Defrosting won’t function if its sensor is defective (wires are cut or short circuited).

8-1-8 Electrical parts are turned on sequentially

Electrical parts such as COMP, defrosting heater, freezer FAN, etc., are turned on in the following order to prevent noise and

8-2 PCB FUNCTION
8-2-1 Power Circuit

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 high voltage is applied, the inside elements are short-
circuited and broken, resulting in blowout of the fuse in order to protect the elements of the secondary part of the
TRANSFORMER.

- 27 -
8-2-2 Oscillation Circuit

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 specified replacement parts, since calculating time by the IC1 may be
changed. If changed, the OSC1 SPEC will not work.

8-2-3 Reset Circuit

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.)
