Circuit Descriptions 9-1) Source Power Circuit This circuit shows SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply) which converts AC input voltage to a high DC voltage. The input AC source power is converted to DC through a wave rectifier (BD1) and the converted DC power will generate a constant waveform on the switching transformer using a high speed (100KHz) switching motion of TOP223Y.
Circuit Descriptions 9-4) Door S/W Sensing Circuit Terminal Operation Volt(state) DOOR CLOSE 0V (LOW) Freezer DOOR OPEN 5V (HIGH) DOOR CLOSE 0V (LOW) Ref. DOOR OPEN 5V (HIGH) 1) The terminals, of the connector (CN30) are grounded, and DC5V (Vcc) is supplied to the terminals, through the resistors, R404 and R403 for the freezer and the refrigerator door, respectively.
Circuit Descriptions Note) 1) F-DEF-sensor and Bimetal work in parallel. 2) At the first power on, an open error (5V input to MICOM) can be detected by self-diagnostics. A short error will be ignored. 3) In self-diagnostics during a normal operation, only an open error can be detected.
Page 41
Circuit Descriptions The step signals of DC 11∼ 12V will be generated periodically. If a sink signal outputs from IC4, DC 11-12V will be applied to the LED input terminal and sink the LED output terminal to 0V. Therefore, LED will be ON for 2 miliseconds. 2) Key Scan The 6 step signals, Q6∼Q4 are applied to scan the 6 keys (buttons).
Circuit Descriptions 9-7) CoolSelect Zone Panel Circuit 1) CoolSelect Zone display panel and temperature sensor 1-1) CoolSelect Zone is referred to as a storage drawer to implement features of Quick cool, Thaw, and Select (Soft Freeze, Chill, and Cool). 1-2) CoolSelect Zone has an additional display panel.
Circuit Descriptions 2-1) CoolSelect Zone Drawer is controlled by a damper to supply or block cold air. For Quick Cool, the damper will be close. So cold air is supplied only to CoolSelect Zone Drawer. For Thaw, the evaporator heater of refrigerator is ON and the damper is controlled by the refrigerator temperature.
Circuit Descriptions 1-3) When the motor rpm is in 600 700, it will stop automatically and it tries to resume after 10 seconds. If the motor is not working properly after 5 time trials, it will rest for 10 minutes, then try to resume again. This process will be done continuously.
