1) The water supplying time is set at five seconds when the

refrigerator is delivered.
2) The amount of water supplied depends on the setting
time and water pressure (city water pressure).
3) If ice cube is too small, increase the water supplying
time. This happens when too small water is supplied into
the ice tray.
4) If ice cube sticks together, decrease the water supplying
time. This happens when too much water is supplied
into the ice tray.

MICOM CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

1. Description of PWB Circuit
1-1. Power Circuit
1. GR-P247, GR-P207, GR-L247, GR-L207
Power circuit is composed of switching mode power supply (SMPS) electric parts. SMPS is composed of rectifying part
(D1~D4, CE1) which converts AC to DC voltage, switching part (IC2) which switches this converted DC voltage, trans which
transmits primary energy to secondary energy, secondary power source which transmits power to MICOM and IC, and feed
back part (IC3, ZD1) which feeds back voltage to primary trans in order to maintain constant secondary voltage.
The voltages at each part are as follows.
Note : If circuit is abnormal, repair it after 3 minutes when power cord is unplugged. Be care of electric shock as high
voltage (DC 310 V) is applied to the circuit.
2. GR-C247, GR-C207, GR-B247, GR-B207

In the trans secondary side is composed of power source (12 Vdc) for driving relay and power source (5 Vdc) which
supplies power to MICOM and IC. Voltages in each part are as follows.
Position
Voltage
VA1
220 Vac
CM1
14 Vac
CM2
17 Vac
1-2. Oscillation Circuit

This is to generate basic time for synchronous clock and time calculation for
internal logic element to send and receive information.Standard parts should be
used as the time calculated by IC1 shall be changed or shall not work if OSC1
specification is changed.
1-3. Reset Circuit

Reset circuit is to initialize RAM in MICOM (IC1) and make all functions
to start from the initial conditions when power is nitially applied or
power is reapplied to MICOM after power cut. Low voltage is applied
for 10 ms to the reset terminal of MICOM when power is applied. 5
voltage is applied to the reset terminal for general operation. (MICOM
does not
work when IC9(Reset IC) is failed)

ICE MAKER AND DISPENSER WORKING PRINCIPLES AND REPAIR

1. Working Principles
1-1. Ice Maker Working Principles
Power Input
Initial Control
Level Ice Maker Cube Mould for Initial Control

after power is input.
Ice Making Control
Wait until the water in the cube mould is frozen

after ice maker starts operation.
Ice Ejection Control
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.
Water Supply Control
Conduct Ice Making Control after supplying water into the ice maker
cube mould by operating water valve.
Test Control
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.
1-2. Dispenser Working Principles

1. This function is available in Model GR-P247, GR-P207 and GR-L247, GR-L207 where water and ice are available without
opening freezer compartment door.
2. Crushed Ice is automatically selected when power is initially applied or reapplied after power cut.
3. When dispenser selection switch is continuously pressed, light is on in the following sequence:
Water Cube Ice Crushed Ice.
4. Lamp is on when dispenser rubber button is pressed and vice versa.
5. When dispenser crushed ice rubber button is pressed, dispenser solenoid and geared motor work so that crushed ice can
be dispensed if there is ice in the ice bank.
6. When dispenser cube ice rubber button is pressed, dispenser solenoid, cube ice solenoid and geared motor work so that
cube ice can be dispensed if there is ice in the ice bank.
7. When dispenser water rubber button is pressed, water valve opens and water is supplied if water valve is normally
installed on the right side of the machine room.
8. Ice and water are not available when freezer door is open.
- 52 -

2. Function of Ice Maker
2-1. Initial Control Function
1. 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 be
horizontal by rotating ice ejection motor in normal or reverse direction so that High/Low signal can be applied to MICOM
Pin No. 44.
3. If there is no change in signals one minute after the geared motor starts to operate, it stops icemaker operation and check
the 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 Function

1. 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.

REMARKS
* The quantity of water supplied

depends on DIP switch setting
conditions and water pressure as it is
a direct tap water connection type.
(the water supplied is generally 80 cc
to 120 cc)
* DIP switch is on the main PWB.
3. If water supply quantity setting is changed while power is on, water supplies for the amended time. If DIP switch is
changed during water supply, water shall be supplied for the previous setting time. But it will supply for the amended time
from 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 supplied
to water valve. If water supply signal is applied to ice valve during water supply, water shall be supplied to both water and
ice valves.
2-3. Ice Making Control Function

1. 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 below
ice 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 -8C after 100 minutes when
water 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 in
condition 3.
- 53 -

2-4. Ice Ejection Control Function
1. 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 condition
of ice bank. If the ice bank is not full, the water supply control starts after completion of ice ejection control. If the ice bank
is 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 ice
checking 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 ice
ejection motor rotates in normal direction. If there is no change in Hall IC signals within 1 minute after ice ejection motor
operates, 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. It
resets 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 Function
1. 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 be
supplied 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 performs
normally, 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 to
horizontal 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 ejection
and water supply control do not work when cube mould is full of ice.
2-6. Other functions relating to freezer compartment door opening

1. 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 cube
mould level return proceed.
3. When freezer door is open, geared motor and cube ice solenoid immediately stop and duct door solenoid stops after 5
seconds.
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.

4. Ice Maker Circuits
FOWARD
REVERSE
ICE MAKER
STOP SWITCH
The above ice maker circuits are applied to GR-P247, GR-P207 and GR-L247, GR-L207 and composed of ice maker unit in
the freezer and ice maker driving part of main PWB. Water is supplied to the ice maker cube mould through the solenoid
relay for ice valve of solenoid valve in the machine room by opening valve for the set time. Water supply automatically stops
when water supply time 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 making temperature detection. Ice maker test switch input detection is the same as the door switch input detection circuit
of main PWB.
1. It is to force to operate 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 cube
mould 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 be
supplied 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 and
water 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.

4. HOW TO DEAL WITH CLAIMS
4-1. Sound
Problems
"Whizz" sounds
Checks and Measures

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 and
refrigerator compartments. "Whizz" sounds are heard when the air passes
through 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, the
air 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 compressor
operation 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 the
refrigerator 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 when
they start and finish their operation. This phenomena can be compared with that
of cars. When the car engine ignites and starts to rotate, the loud sound
becomes 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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
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 the
evaporator 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.

freezes to ice, freezing sounds such as click, click are heard. When ice is
being ejected, sounds like Whizz produced by a motor to rotate an ice tray
and 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 water
tank in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment. The water is dispensed
by this pressure. When this happens, motor sound and water flowing sound are
heard.
Noise when supplying ice.
Explain the principles of ice supply and procedure of crushed ice making in a
dispenser.
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 is
crushed. When this happens, ice crushing and hitting ice bank sounds are
heard.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4-2. Measures for Symptoms on Temperature
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 .

not frozen but defrosted
The chilled drawer does not freeze food.

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 that
frozen 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 -15C. 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 wet
and 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 are
also frozen in the vegetable drawer.
The food stored at inside of

the shelf freezes even the
control button is set at MID.
Check if food is stored near the outlet of the cooling air.

The temperature at cooling air outlet is always below the freezing point.
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, the
refrigerator compartment will not be cooled.
- 96 -
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4-3. Odor and Frost
Problems
Odor in the refrigerator compartment.
Checks and Measures
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 sealed
refrigerator compartment. Deodorizer can absorb some portions of the odor but
not completely. The intensity of odor depends on refrigerator conditions and
environments.
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 the
temperature 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 -19C. 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, much
frost forms inside of the refrigerator. If the door is left open in Summer, ice may
form 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 (protruded
part) of ice mold shall freeze and form frost. If warm water was put into the ice
mold, the situation will become worse.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4-5. Others
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 prevent
condensation formation. Particularly in summer or after installation of
refrigerator, it may feel hot but it is normal. If there is no enough space to
dissipate heat, it can be hotter due to lack of heat radiation. Please install a
refrigerator in a well-ventilated place and leave a clearance between refrigerator
and 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

wall of the refrigerator
compartment and the cover of
properly vegetable drawer.
Explain how to store foods

Condensation forms when refrigerator is installed at damp area, door is
frequently opened, and wet foods are not stored in the air tight container or
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 and
compressor oils are mixed up, then this will affect badly the performance of a
refrigerator. Be sure to connect the power 2~3 hours after refrigerator is
installed.
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 the
internal pressure when door is closed. This causes the door sticked closely to
the refrigerator in a moment. (If the refrigerator is used for a long time, it will
then open smoothly.)
The front side should

be raised a little bit higher
than the rear side.
When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, the freezer
compartment 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 compartment
door.
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 freezer
compartments 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.
