EXPLANATION FOR MICOM CIRCUIT 1. Explanation for PWB circuit 1-1. Power circuit The power circuit includes a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS). It consists of a rectifier (BD1 and CE1) converting AC to DC, a switch (IC2) switching the DC voltage, a transformer, and a feedback circuit (IC3 and IC4). Caution : Since high voltage (160 Vdc) is maintained at the power terminal, wait at least 3 minutes after unplugging the appliance to check the voltages to allow the current to dissipate.

EXPLANATION FOR MICOM CIRCUIT 1-2. Oscillation circuit The oscillation circuit generates a basic clock signal for synchronization and time calculation related to the transmission of data and calculations made by the MICOM (IC1). The oscillator (OSC1) must always be replaced with an exact rated part, because if this spec is changes, the time calculations of the MICOM will be affected and it might not work at all.
Page 30
EXPLANATION FOR MICOM CIRCUIT 1-3. Reset circuit The RESET circuit allows various parts of the MICOM, such as RAM, defrosting, etc., to be restarted from the initial state when power is interrupted or restored. A LOW signal applied to the reset terminal for 10 ms causes the MICOM to reset itself.
