13-2. AC Input & Power Circuit ▶ Function Generates a required DC power of 12V or 5V in case of supplied or disconnected AC power. ▶ Description - When AC 220V is applied to CN3, D17 D20 transforms it to DC 300V. - DC 300V is generated for the LVT1 secondary source by IC3 and PC1 turning on/off.
Page 78
13-3. Driving System Circuit ▶ Function Controls each driving system (VALVE, DOOR S/W, DRAIN-MOTOR) by turning RELAY or TRIAC on/off. ▶ Description - MICOM outputs a high signal of 5V from pin # 1 - 7 of IC7 and IC9. - Then, pin # 10 to 16 of IC7 and IC9 are electrically grounded (0V).
Page 79
13-4. Sensor Detection Circuit ▶ Function Detects signals from the sensor and controls the current system. ▶ Description - The water level sensor is connected to pin 4 of CN7. - The frequency of the level sensor changes according to the water amount in the tub. - Then, the frequency is input to MICOM pin 48 for detecting the water amount.
Page 80
13-5. Silver Nano System ▶ Function Applies the electric current to the silver plate during the water supply and uses the silver water to perform the bacteria-free or sterilization processes. ▶ Description - Selects the silver nano feature to operate the system. - Supplies water to the two silver plates AG_B and AG_A.
14-2. TERMINOLOGY ASSY-MAIN PCB (Imbalance Sensor) → To prevent the laundry from gathering on one side of the tube causing noise and vibration, the washing machine uses an imbalance detection device that evenly disentangles the laundry before the hydrating cycle starts. DOOR-LOCK S/W →...
