Reference
* The interior lamp relay operates lighting/lightout
according to door open / close.
* If interior lamp does not light, check the noise of relay
operation.
* Noise of relay operation sounds every Door Open /
Close.
* F-LAMP Relay -- RY74
* R-LAMP Relay -- RY75
Reference
If the door is opened, the contact of door switch will be opened and MICOM will get applied 5V to finally sense Open.
If 5V has been sensed over tree minutes afterwards, Door-Open alarm will sound 'Ding-Dong'for 10 seconds in a one minutes cycle.
For that reason, if the door switch has failure, the refrigerator can make a "Ding-Dong"sound with oneminute cycle. Please note the
step for its service.
☞ When measure lamp resistance to the Wire
→ Resistance can be changed by Lamp input voltage.
(Actual measurement is below, it can be changed by
performance)
Wire color changed from
