2-2. Automatic ice maker• The automatic ice maker can automatically make 8 pieces of ice cube at a time, 80 pieces a day. But these quantities may
be varied according to various conditions including how many times the refrigerator door opens and closes.
• Ice making stops when the ice storage bin is full.
• If you don’t want to use automatic ice-maker, change the ice-maker switch to ON-OFF.If you want to use automatic ice-maker again, change the switch to OFF-ON.
NOTE : It is normal that a noise is produced when ice made is dropped into the ice storage bin.
2-3. When ice maker does not operate smoothlyIce is lumped together
• When ice is lumped together, take the ice lumps out of the ice storage bin, break them into small pieces, and then placethem into the ice storage bin again.
• When the ice maker produces too small or lumped together ice, the amount of water supplied to the ice maker need toadjusted. Contact the service center.
If ice is not used frequently, it may lump together.
Power failure
• Ice may drop into the freezer compartment. Take the ice storage bin out and discard all the ice then dry it and place itback. After the machine is powered again, crushed ice will be automatically selected.
The unit is newly installed
• It takes about 12 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to make ice in the freezer compartment.
2-4. Express freezing1. Express freezing is function to improve cooling speed of the freezing room by consecutively operating compressors and
freezing room fan.
2. Express freezing is released if power failure occurs and then returns to the original status.
3. Temperature setting is not changed even if selecting the express freezing.
4. The change of temperature setting at the freezing room or the cold storage room is allowed with express freezingselected and prrocessed.
5. The cold storage room operates the status currently set with Express freezing selected and procesed.
6. If selecting the Express freezing, the Express freezing function is released after continuously operating compressor andfreezing room fan.
7. If frost removal starting time is arrived during Express freezing, Express freezing operation is done only for the remainingtime after completion of frost removal when the Express freezing operation time passes 90 minutes. If passing 90minutes, Express freezing operation is done only for 2 hours after completion of frost removal.
8. If pressing Express freezing button during frost removal, the Express freezing LED is turned on but if pressing theExpress freezing, compressor operates after the remaining time has passed.
9. If selection Express freezing within 7 minutes (delay for 7 minutes of compressor) after the compressor stops,compressor operates after the remaining time has passed.
10. The freezing room fan motor operates at the high speed of RPM during operation of Express freezing.
MICOM FUNCTION
- 24 -
2-5. Control of variable type of freezing room fan1. To increase cooling speed and load response speed, MICOM variably controls freezing room fan motor at the high speed
of RPM and standard RPM.
2. MICOM only operates in the input of initial power or special freezing operation or load response operation for the highspeed of RPM and operates in the standard RPM in other general operation.
3. If opening doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar while fan motor in the freezing room operates, the freezingroom fan motor normally operates (If being operated in the high speed of RPM, it converts operation to the standardRPM). However, if opening doors of freezing room or home bar, the freezing room fan motor stops.
4. As for monitoring of BLDC fan motor error in the freezing room, MICOM immediately stops the fan motor by determiningthat the BLDC fan motor is locked or poor if there would be position signal for more than 65 seconds at the BLDC motor.Then it displays failure (refer to failure diagnosis function table) at the display part of refrigerator, performs re-operation inthe cycle of 30 minutes. If normal operation is performed, poor status is released and refrigerator returns to the initialstatus (reset).
2-6. Control of M/C room fan motor1. The M/C room fan motor performs ON/OFF control by linking with the COMP.
2. It controls at the single RPM without varying RPM.
3. Failure sensing method is same as in fan motor of freezing fan motor (refer to failure diagnosis function table for failuredisplay).
2-7. Door opening alarm1. Buzzer generates alarm sound if doors are not closed even when more than a minute consecutively has passed with
doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar opened.
2. Buzzer rings three times in the interval of 0.5 second after the first one-minute has passed after doors are opened andthen repeats three times of On/Off alarm in the cycle of every 30 seconds.
3. If all the doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar are closed during door open alarm, alarm is immediatelyreleased.
2-8. Ringing of button selection buzzer1. If pressing the front display button, “Ding ~ “ sound rings.
2-9. Ringing of compulsory operation, compulsory frost removal buzzer1. If pressing the test button in the main PCB, “Phi ~ “ sound rings.
2. In selecting compulsory operation, alarm sound is repeated and completed in the cycle of On for 0.2 second and Off for1.8 second three times.
3. In selecting compulsory frost removal, alarm sound is repeated and completed in the cycle of On for 0.2 second , Off for0.2 second, On for 0.2 second and Off for 1.4 second three times.

• Level Ice Maker Cube Mould for “Initial Control” after power is input.
Power Input
Initial Control
Ice Making Control
Ice Ejection Control
Water Supply Control
Test Control
• Wait until the water in the cube mould is frozen after ice maker starts operation.
• Check ice bank is full of ice by rotating ice ejection motor in normal and reverse direction and eject ice into the ice bank if ice bank is not full.
• This is for refrigerator assembly line and service. When “ice making test switch” is pressed, it operates in the following steps: initial ice ejection water supply control steps.
• Conduct “Ice Making Control” after supplying water into the ice maker cube mould by operating water valve.
2. Function of Ice Maker
2-1. Initial Control Function1. When power is initially applied or reapplied after power cut, it detects level of ice maker cube mould after completion of
MICOM initialization. The detecting lever moves up and down.
2. The level of ice maker cube mould is judged by output signal, high and low signal, of Hall IC. Make the cube mould to behorizontal by rotating ice ejection motor in normal or reverse direction so that High/Low signal can be applied to MICOMPin No. 44.
3. If there is no change in signals one minute after the geared motor starts to operate, it stops icemaker operation and checkthe signal every hour. It resets initialization of icemaker when it becomes normal.
4. It judges that the initial control is completed when it judges the ice maker cube mould is horizontal.
5. Ice ejection conducts for 1 cycle irrespect of ice in the ice bank when power is initially applied.
2-2. Water Supply Control Function1. This is to supply water into the ice maker cube mould by operating water valve in the machine room when ice ejection
control is completed and ice maker mould is even.
2. The quantity of water supplied is determined by DIP switch and time.
<Water Supply Quantity Table>
3. If water supply quantity setting is changed while power is on, water supplies for the amended time. If DIP switch ischanged during water supply, water shall be supplied for the previous setting time. But it will supply for the amended timefrom the next supply.
4. When water supply signal is applied to water and ice valves at the same time during water supply, water shall be suppliedto water valve. If water supply signal is applied to ice valve during water supply, water shall be supplied to both water andice valves.
2-3. Ice Making Control Function1. Ice making control is carried out from the completion of water supply to the completion of ice making in the cube mould.
Ice making sensor detects the temperature of cube mould and completes ice making. (ice making sensor is fixed belowice maker cube mould)
2. Ice making control starts after completion of water supply control or initial control.
3. It is judged that ice making is completed when ice making sensor temperature reaches at -8°C after 100 minutes whenwater is supplied to ice maker cube mould.
4. It is judged that ice making is completed when ice maker sensor temperature reaches below -12 °C after 20 minutes incondition 3.

* The quantity of water supplieddepends on DIP switch settingconditions and water pressure as it isa direct tap water connection type.(the water supplied is generally 80 ccto 120 cc)
* DIP switch is on the main PWB.
2-4. Ice Ejection Control Function1. This is to eject ice from ice maker cube mould after ice making is completed.2. If Hall IC signal is on within 3.6 seconds after ice ejection motor rotates in normal direction, it does not proceed ice
ejection but waits. If the ice bank is full, ice ejection motor rotates in normal direction in every hour to check the conditionof ice bank. If the ice bank is not full, the water supply control starts after completion of ice ejection control. If the ice bankis full, ice ejection motor rotates in reverse direction and sops under ice making or waiting conditions.
3. If ice bank is not full, ice ejection starts. The cube mould tilts to the maximum and ice is separated from the mould and icechecking lever raises.
4. Ice ejection motor stops for 1 second if Hall IC signal changes from OFF (low) to ON (high) after 3.6 seconds when iceejection motor rotates in normal direction. If there is no change in Hall IC signals within 1 minute after ice ejection motoroperates, ice ejection motor stops as ice ejection motor or hall IC is out of order.
5. If ice ejection motor or Hall IC is abnormal, ice ejection motor rotates in normal direction to exercise initial operation. Itresets the ice maker if ice ejection motor or Hall IC is normal.
6. The mould stops for 1 second at maximum tilted conditions.7. The mould returns to horizontal conditions as ice ejection motor rotates in reverse direction.8. When the mould becomes horizontal, the cycle starts to repeat:

2-5 Test Function1. It is to force the operation during operation test, service, and cleaning. The test switch is mounted under the automatic
ice maker. The test function starts when the test switch is pressed for more than 0.5 second.2. Test button does not work during ice ejection and water supply. It works when it is in the horizontal conditions. If mould is
full of ice during test function operation, ice ejection control and water supply control do not work.3. When test switch is pressed for more than 0.5 second in the horizontal conditions, ice ejection starts irrespect of the
mould conditions. Water shall be splashed if test switch is pressed before the water in the mould freezes. Water shall besupplied while the mould returns to the horizontal conditions after ice ejection. Therefore the problems of ice ejection,returning to the horizontal conditions, and water supply can be checked by test switch. When test function performsnormally, buzzer sounds and water supply shall carry out. Check it for repair if buzzer does not sound.
4. When water supply is completed, the cycle operates normally as follows: Ice making Ice ejection Returning tohorizontal conditions Water supply
5. Remove ice from the ice maker cube mould and press test switch when ice maker cube mould is full of ice as ice ejectionand water supply control do not work when cube mould is full of ice.
2-6. Other functions relating to freezer compartment door opening1. When freezer door is open, ice dispenser stops in order to reduce noise and ice drop.
2. When freezer door is open during ice ejection and cube mould returning to horizontal condition, ice ejection and cubemould level return proceed.
3. When freezer door is open, geared motor and cube ice solenoid immediately stop and duct door solenoid stops after 5seconds.
4. Water dispenser stops in order to protect water drop when freezer door is open.
5. Test function operates normally irrespect of refrigearator compartment door opening.

<GC-P/L207: Bar-LED>
The above ice maker circuits are applied to GC-P207, GC-L207 and composed of ice maker unit in the freezer and icemaker driving part of main PWB. Water is supplied to the ice maker cube mould through the solenoid relay for ice valve ofsolenoid valve in the machine room by opening valve for the set time. Water supply automatically stops when water supplytime is elapsed. This circuit is to realize the functions such as ice ejection of ice maker cube mould, ice full detection,leveling, ice making temperature detection, etc. Refer to the temperature detecting circuits of Main PWB for ice makingtemperature detection. Ice maker test switch input detection is the same as the door switch input detection circuit of mainPWB.
1. It is to force to operate during operation test, service, and cleaning. The test switch is mounted under the automatic icemaker. The test function starts when the test switch is pressed for more than 0.5 second.
2. Test button does not work during ice ejection and water supply. It works when it is in the horizontal conditions. If cubemould is full of ice during test function operation, ice ejection control and water supply control do not work.
3. Ice ejection carries out irrespect of ice formation in the ice making tray if test switch is pressed for more than 0.5 second.Water shall be splashed if test switch is pressed before the water in the mould is completely frozen. Water shall besupplied while the mould returns to the horizontal conditions after ice ejection. Therefore the problems of ice ejection,leveling, and water supply can be checked by test switch. When test function performs normally, buzzer sounds andwater supply shall carry out. Check it for repair if buzzer does not sound.
4. When water supply is completed, normal cycle works: Ice Making Ice Ejection Level Return Water Supply.
5. If ice maker stop switch is set to ON, normal cycle operates: Ice Making Ice Ejection Level Return Water Supply. If it is set to OFF, ice making conducts but ice ejection, level return, and water supply do not work.

3. Cooling Cycle Heavy Repair
3-1. Features of refrigerant(R600a)• Achromatic and odor less gas.
• Flammable gas and the ignition (explosion) at 494°C.
• Upper/lower explosion limit: 1.8%~8.4%Vol.
3-2. Features of the R600a refrigerator• Charging of 60% refrigerant compared with a R134a model.
• The suction pressure is below 1bar (abs) during the operation.
• Because of its low suction pressure, the external air may flow in the cycle system when the refrigerant leaks and it causesmalfunction in the compressor.
• The displacement of compressor using R600a must be at least 1.7 times larger than that of R134a.
• Any type of dryer is applicable (XH-5, 7, 9), but recommend the X7-9.
• The EVAPORATOR or any other cycle part that has welding joint is hidden in the foam. (If not hidden inside, the wholeelectric parts must be tested with the LEAKAGE TEST according to the IEC Standard.)
• The compressor has a label of the refrigerant R600a.
• Only the SVC man must have an access to the system.
3-3. Installation place• Must be well ventilated.
• Must be 20m3 or larger.
• Must be no-smoking area.
• No ignitable factors must be present.
3-4. Utilities• Refrigerant cylinder (MAX NET 300g)
• Manometer
• Vacuum pump (600L/min)
• Piercing Clamp
• Quick coupler
• Hoses (5m-1EA, 1m-3EA)
• LOKRING
• Portable Leakage detector (3g/year ↓)
• Nitrogen cylinder (for leakage test)
• Concentration gauge
3-5. Make sure before Servicing• Refrigerant

• You must discharge the residual refrigerant(R600a) in the outdoor.
• For discharging the refrigerant R600a,break the narrow portion of tube extensionby hand or with a pipe cutter as shown inFigure.
• Leave if for 30~60min in outside tostabilize the pressure with ambient.
• Check the pressure by piercing the dryerpart with pierching pliers. If the refrigerantis not completely discharged, let therefrigerator alone for more 30min inoutside.
• After the refrigerant is completelydischarged, repair any defective partsand replace the dryer. At any case youmust use the LOKRING for connecting orreplacing any part in the cycle (No Fire,No Welding).
• Connect the Schrader valve to pump withthe coupler. And then turn the pump onfor vacuum state.
• Let the pump run until the low-pressuregauge indicates the vacuum (gaugepressure 0, absolute pressure - 1atm or -760mmHg).
• Recommended vacuum time is 30 min.
• Charge the N2 gas in order to check forleakage from welding points and theLOKRING.
• If leakages are found, repair the defectsand repeat the vacuum process.

• After the system is completelyvacuumed, fill it with the refrigerantR600a up to what has beenspecified at your refrigerator NamePlate.
• The amount of refrigerant (R600a)must be precisely measured withinthe error of ±2g by an electronscale.
• Connect the charging hose (that isconnected to the refrigerant(R600a) cylinder) to the Schradervalve installed on the service tube.
• Then, charge the refrigerant (R600a) by controlling the Throttle valve.
• When you do so, do not fully open the Throttle valve because it may makedamage to the compressor.
• Gradually charge the refrigerant (R600a) by changing open and close the ThrottleValve (5g at each time).
• The charging hose must use a one-way valve to prevent the refrigerant refluence.
• Close the Schrader valve cap after the refrigerant (R600a) is completelyrecharged.
• If you use the manifold connected with both the refrigerant (R600a) cylinder andthe vacuum pump simultaneously, make sure the pump valve is close.
• After you completely recharge the refrigerant (R600a), perform the leakage test byusing a portable leakage detector or soapy water.
• Test the low pressure (suction) parts in compressor off time and high pressureparts in compressor on time.
• If the leakages are found, restart from the refrigerant (R600a) discharging processand repairs defects of leaks.
• After the leakage test, check the temperature of each parts of the cycle.
• Check with hands if the CONDENSER and the case (HOT-LINE pipe) that iscontacted to the door gasket are warm.
• Confirm that frost is uniform distributed on the surface of the EVAPORATOR.

4-1. Sound
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
- 126 -
Problems Checks and Measures
"Whizz" sounds Explain general principles of sounds.• All refrigerator when functioning properly have normal operating sound. The
compressor and fan produce sounds.There is a fan in the freezer compartment which blows cool air to freezer andrefrigerator compartments. "Whizz" sounds are heard when the air passesthrough the narrow holes into the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
Cooling Fan sound in the compressor compartment.• There is a fan on the back of the refrigerator, which cools the compressor
compartment. If there is a small space between the refrigerator and the wall, theair circulation sounds may be noticeable.
Noise of Compressor.• This operating sound happens when the compressor compresses the
refrigerant. The compressor rotates at 3600RPM. The sound of compressoroperation becomes louder as the refrigerator capacity increases.
"Click" sounds Explain the principles of temperature change.• The sounds happens when pipes and internal evaporator in the refrigerator
compartment expand and contract as the temperature changes during therefrigerator operation. This sound also happens during defrosting, twice a day,when the ice on the evaporator melts.
"Clunk" sound Explain that it comes from the compressor when the refrigerator starts.• When the refrigerator operates, the piston and motor in the compressor rotate
at 3600RPM. This sound is caused by the vibration of motor and piston whenthey start and finish their operation. This phenomena can be compared with thatof cars. When the car engine ignites and starts to rotate, the loud soundbecomes gradually quiet. When the engine stops, it stops with vibration.
Vibration sound Check the sound whether it comes from the pipes vibration and friction.• Insert rubber or leave a space between pipes to avoid the noise.• Fix the fan blade if the noise is due to the collision of fan and shroud.• Fix the drip tray if it is loosened.
Sound depends on the installation location.• Sound becomes louder if the refrigerator is installed on a wooden floor or near a
wooden wall. Move it to the another location.• If the refrigerator is not leveled properly, a small vibration can make a loud
sound. Please adjust the level of the refrigerator.

Problems Checks and Measures
Sounds of water flowing Explain the flow of refrigerant.• When the refrigerator stops, the water flowing sound happens.
This sound happens when the liquid or vapor refrigerant flows from theevaporator to compressor.
"Click" sounds Explain the characteriistics of moving parts.• This noise comes from the MICOM controller's switch on the top of the
refrigerator when it is turned on and off.
Noise of ice maker operation Explain the procedure and principles of ice maker operation.(applicable to model with ice maker). • Automatic ice maker repeats the cycle of water supplying icemaking ice - Noise produced by ice dropping ejection. When water is supplied, the water supply valve in the machine room and hitting ice bank. makes sounds like “Whizz” and water flowing also makes sound. When water
- Noise from motor sounds “Whizz”. freezes to ice, freezing sounds such as “click, click” are heard. When ice isbeing ejected, sounds like “Whizz” produced by a motor to rotate an ice trayand ice dropping and hitting ice bank sounds are also heard.
Noise when supplying water. Explain the principles of water supplied to dispenser.• When the water supply button in the dispenser is pressed, the water supply
valve in the compressor compartment opens and let the water flow to the watertank in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment. The water is dispensedby this pressure. When this happens, motor sound and water flowing sound areheard.
Noise when supplying ice. Explain the principles of ice supply and procedure of crushed ice making in adispenser.• When ice cube button is pressed, ice stored in the ice bank is moved by a Helix
Pusher and dispensed. If crushed ice button is pressed, the cube ice iscrushed. When this happens, ice crushing and hitting ice bank sounds areheard.
4-2. Measures for Symptoms on Temperature
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
- 128 -
Problems Checks and Measures
Refrigeration is weak. Check temperature set in the temperature control knob.• 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. If you adjust the button in the freezer compartment as well, the refrigeration is stronger than adjusting refrigerator only.
The food in the chilled drawer is . The chilled drawer does not freeze food.not frozen but defrosted • Use chilled drawer for storing fresh meat or fish for short periods. For storing for
a long periods or freezing food, use a freezer compartment. It is normal thatfrozen foods thaw above the freezing temperature (in the chilled drawer).
Refrigerator water is not cool. Check the water storage location.• If water is kept in the door rack, please ask to keep it in the refrigerator
compartment shelf. It will then become cooler.
Ice cream softens. Explain the characteristics of ice cream.• The freezing point of ice cream is below -15°C. Therefore ice cream may melt if
it is stored in the door rack.• Store ice cream in a cold place or set the temperature control button of a freezer
at “strong” position.
Refrigeration is too strong. Check the position of temperature control button.• Check if refrigeration is strong in whole area of the refrigerator or partly near the
outlet of the cooling air. If it is strong in whole area, set the control button at“weak”. If it is strong only near the outlet of cool air, keep food (particularly wetand easy to frozen such as bean curd and vegetables) away from the outlet.
Vegetables are frozen. Check the vegetables storage.• If vegetables are stored in the refrigerator shelf or chilled drawer instead of
vegetable drawer, they will be frozen. Set the control button at “weak” if they arealso frozen in the vegetable drawer.
The food stored at inside of Check if food is stored near the outlet of the cooling air. the shelf freezes even the • The temperature at cooling air outlet is always below the freezing point. control button is set at “MID”. Do not store food near the outlet of the cooling air as it block the air circulation.
And do not block the outlet. If the outlet of the cooling air is blocked, therefrigerator compartment will not be cooled.
4-3. Odor and Frost
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
- 129 -
Problems Checks and Measures
Odor in the refrigerator compartment. Explain the basic principles of food odor.• Each food has its own peculiar odor. Therefore it is impossible to prevent or
avoid food odor completely when food is stored in the completely sealedrefrigerator compartment. Deodorizer can absorb some portions of the odor butnot completely. The intensity of odor depends on refrigerator conditions andenvironments.
Check the temperature control button and set at “strong”.• Clean inside of the refrigerator with detergent and remove moisture. Dry inside
the refrigerator by opening the door for about 3 or 4 hours and then set thetemperature control button at “strong”.
Frost in the freezer compartment Explain the basic principles of frost formation.• The main causes for frosting:
- Door was left open.- Air penetration through the gasket- Too frequent door opening. (parties. etc.)- Hot foods are stored before they are cooled down. The temperature of freezer
is -19°C. if temperature is set at “MID”. If hot air comes into the refrigerator,fine frost forms as cold air mixes with hot air. If this happens quite often, muchfrost forms inside of the refrigerator. If the door is left open in Summer, ice mayform inside of the refrigerator.
Frost in ice tray. Explain basic principles of frost formation.• When ice tray with full of water is put into a freezer compartment, the water
evaporates. If cool air fan operates, the moisture attached to the jaw (protrudedpart) of ice mold shall freeze and form frost. If warm water was put into the icemold, the situation will become worse.

Problems Checks and Measures
The refrigerator case is hot. Explain the principles of radiator.• The radiator pipes are installed in the refrigerator case and partition plate
between the refrigerator and the freezer compartment in order to preventcondensation formation. Particularly in summer or after installation ofrefrigerator, it may feel hot but it is normal. If there is no enough space todissipate heat, it can be hotter due to lack of heat radiation. Please install arefrigerator in a well-ventilated place and leave a clearance between refrigeratorand wall:
Small holes in a door liner Explain that the hole is for releasing gas.• A small hole in the door liner is for releasing gas during insulation materials
lining work. With a releasing hole, forming can be easily done .
Electric bills are too much. Check the use conditions.• Too frequent door opening and hot food storing cause the compressor to
operate continuously and hence increase the electric consumption and bills.
Condensation on the inside Explain how to store foodswall of the refrigerator • Condensation forms when refrigerator is installed at damp area, door is compartment and the cover of frequently opened, and wet foods are not stored in the air tight container orproperly vegetable drawer. wrapped. Be sure to store wet foods in the air tight container or in the wrap.
When is the power connected? When should the power be connected ?• You can connect the power right after the installation. But if the refrigerator was
laid flat during transportation for a long period of time and the refrigerant andcompressor oils are mixed up, then this will affect badly the performance of arefrigerator. Be sure to connect the power 2~3 hours after refrigerator isinstalled.
Door does not open properly. Refrigerator compartment door does not open properly.• When the door is open, warm open air comes into the compartment and is mixed up with cool air. This mixed air shall be compressed and increase theinternal pressure when door is closed. This causes the door sticked closely tothe refrigerator in a moment. (If the refrigerator is used for a long time, it willthen open smoothly.)
When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, the freezercompartment door moves up and down.• When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, fresh air comes into
the freezer compartment and moves up and down the freezer compartmentdoor.
Door opens too easily.• There is a magnet in the gasket rubber so that it is ok. if door is securely closed
without a gap. It can be open easily if the foods in the refrigerator or freezercompartments hold the door open.
A door does not close properly. • If the rear side of the refrigerator is raised higher than front side, door shall not
be easily closed. Adjust the level of refrigerator with levelling screws.
The front side shouldbe raised a little bit higher
than the rear side.
