    Circuit Descriptions 10-1) Source Power Circuit Circuit used Voltage Relay Operation & LED Display (DC 12V) Power around MICOM & Sensor Detector Vcc (DC 5V) 1) The input AC voltage drops to AC 8 volts on the transformer secondary side between ①~③ at CN 10.

  • Page 28: 10-3)Reset Circuit

    Circuit Descriptions 10-3)Reset Circuit When the power is supplied to MICOM, the reset circuit initializes RAM and other sectors of MICOM. A reset voltage maintains “low” for hundreds of µsec comparing to MICOM Vcc voltage when the power is in. It also maintains “high”(5V) during normal operation.

    Circuit Descriptions 10-5) Temperature Sensing Circuit ( Air Sensor) When Sensor is open When sensor is cut off MICOM input “HIGH” MICOM input “LOW” 1) The sensor uses the characteristics of thermistor. If temperature goes higher, resistance goes lower. On the contrary, if temperature goes lower, resistance goes higher. 2) A MICOM input voltage is calculated by sensor as follows.

  • Page 38 Diagnostics 11-3) If the compressor is not working properly Pre-check 1. A compressor does not operate within 5 minutes after compressor is OFF. 2. A compressor does not run during defrost period 3. A compressor does not run because a low temperature is detected if freezer and the refrigerator sensor are not connected.
  • Page 39 Diagnostics 11-4) If cooling fan doesn’t work Pre-check Select a pull-down mode from the forced operation function 1. When COMP is OFF both freezer and the refrigerator cooling fans and COMP cooling fan remain OFF. 2 . When COMP is ON, the refrigerator fan is not always ON and when the refrigerator temperature reached a set temperature, the fan goes OFF.

  • Page 42 Diagnostics 11-7) No defrosting Pre-check 1. Although both F R-defrost sensors have short-circuit, a normal operation continues without a defrost cycle (Refer to self - diagnostics function) 2. When the temperature fuse is open, there is no heating and a defrost occurs naturally by the compartment temperature increase and eventually, it will cause a blinking of temperature.
