MICOM FUNCTION & PCB CIRCUIT EXPLANATION This description is made for GR-349 & 389. Please refer to overall PCB circuits for other models. 1 FUNCTION EXPOSITION 1) FUNCTION (1) The refrigerator starts from optimum condition when electric power is first on. The operation condition changes Mid/Max Min/Mid Mid whenever you press the FREEZE TEMP button.
Page 18
4) DOOR OPENING ALARM (1) When the REFRIGERATOR DOOR is opened and isn't closed after 1 minute, the BUZZER sounds. (2) At frist, BUZZER sounds three times at each intervals of 0.5 second, then makes a 0.5 second ON/OFF alarm three times at intervals of 30 seconds.

8) SELF-TEST (1) Function to make service easy in case of occuring a trouble in the product. (2) When a trouble occurs, the button is pushed, but the function doesn't operate. (3) If a problem releases during the representation of trouble, a refrigerator performs the normal function (RESET). (4) Error codes are displayed by FREEZE TEMP LEDs on TOP COVER.
Page 20
9) FUNCTION TEST (1) Function to check the testing function of PCB and refrigerator and to find where the trouble. (2) The test switch is on the MAIN PCB of refrigerator. TEST FUNCTION is released and RESET after MAX. 2 hours, regardless of TEST MODE. (3) If the buttons on TOP COVER is pushed during TEST MODE, Function is not operated and only BUZZER ring with DING~ DONG~ (4) After the end of TEST MODE, pull out the power cord and plug it in again (RESET).
