  • Page 27: Explanation For Micom Circuit

    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.

  • Page 29 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.

    TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS 4. HOW TO DEAL WITH CLAIMS 4-1. Sound Problems Checks and Measures I Explain general principles of sounds. Hiss • All refrigerators make noises when they run. The compressor and fan produce sounds. There is a fan in the freezer compartment which blows cool air to freezer and refrigerator compartments.
  • Page 128 TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Problems Checks and Measures I Explain the flow of refrigerant. Sounds of water flowing • When the refrigerator stops, the water flowing sound happens. This sound happens when the liquid or vapor refrigerant flows from the evaporator to compressor. I Explain the characteristics of moving parts.
  • Page 129 TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS 4-2. Measures for Symptoms on Temperature Problems Checks and Measures I Check temperature set in the temperature control knob. Refrigeration is weak. • Refrigerator is generally delivered with the button set at normal use (MID). But customer can adjust the temperature set depending on their habit and taste. If you feel the refrigeration is weak, then set the temperature control button at strong position.
  • Page 130 TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS 4-3. Odor and Frost Problems Checks and Measures I Explain the basic principles of food odor. Odor in the refrigerator compartment. • Each food has its own particular odor. Therefore it is impossible to prevent or avoid food odor completely when food is stored in the completely sealed refrigerator compartment.
  • Page 131 TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS 4-5. Others Problems Checks and Measures I Explain the principles of radiator. The refrigerator case is hot. • The radiator pipes are installed in the refrigerator case and partition plate between the refrigerator and the freezer compartment in order to prevent condensation formation.
