EXPLATION 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 (310 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.
Voltage of every part is as follows:
Part VA1 CE1 CE2 CE3 CE4 CE5

Voltage 230 Vac 310 Vdc 16 Vdc 12 Vdc 16 Vdc 5 Vdc
(1) GC-P227/L227
- 26 -
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 replacement
part. If this specification is changed, the change will affect the time calculations of the MICOM and it might not work at all.
(1) GC-P227/L227
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. During normal operation, the voltage at the reset terminal is 5 Vdc. If the reset fails, the MICOM will not operate.

✽ The fan operates at the regular speed even if the door of the refrigerator or freezer is opened. When the doors are closed,
the fan reverts to its original speed.
✽ (A), (B), (C), and (D) of door switch for the freezer or refrigerator are connected to the door open sensing circuit in parallel
toward both ends of switch to determine door open at MICOM.
✽ In the TEST mode, the fan will stop if any door is opened. It will resume operation when the door is closed.

1-10. Stepping motor operation circuit
(1) GC-P227/L227
The motor is driven by magnetism formed in the areas of the coils and the stator. Rotation begins when a HIGH signal is
applied to MICOM Pin 33 of IC10 (TA7774F). This causes an output of HIGH and LOW signals on MICOM pins 34 and 35.
Explanation) The stepping motor is driven by sending signals of 3.33 mSEC via MICOM pins 33, 34, and 35, as shown in
the chart below. These signals are output via terminals 10, 11, 14, and 15 via input terminals 3, 6, and 8 of
IC10 (TA7774F), the motor drive chip. The output signals allow the coils wound on each phase of the stator to
form a magnetic field, which causes rotation. Input to the terminals INA and INB of IC10 as shown in the chart
below drives the motor.

ICEMAKER AND DISPENSER WORKING PRINCIPLES AND REPAIR
1. Operation Principle
1-1. Operation Principle of Icemaker
Power On
Start Position ¥ Adjusts EJECTOR to Start Position with power on.
Icemaking
¥ Waits until water becomes ice after starting the
Mode
icemaking operation.
Harvest
¥ Runs MOTOR to drop ice from the tray into the ICE BIN.
Mode
(During harvest mode, check if the ice bin is full)
Fill ¥ Performs Ice Making Mode after supplying water by operating

the SOLENOID in ICE VALVE.
Park Position ¥ With the detect lever, checks if the ICE BIN is full.
Test Mode ¥ To operate LINE and SERVICE, press and hold the Water
amount selection button for 3 seconds.
The icemaker will run through 3 stages:
Harvest Fill Icemaking.
1. Turning the Icemaker switch off (O) stops the ice making function.
2. Setting the Icemaker switch to OFF and then turning it back on will reset the icemaker control.
- 41 -
2. ICEMAKER FUNCTIONS
2-1. Start Position

1. After POWER OFF or power outage, check the EJECTOR's position with MICOM initialization to restart.
2. How to check if it is in place:
- Check HIGH/LOW signals from HALL SENSOR in MICOM PIN.
3. Control Method to check if it is in place:
(1) EJECTOR is in place,
- It is an initialized control, so the mode can be changed to icemaking mode.
(2) EJECTOR isn't in place:
A. If EJECTOR is back in place within 2 minutes with the motor on, it is being initialized. If not, go to Step B.
B. Control the heater using the temperature sensor until the EJECTOR reaches the correct location.
2-2. Icemaking Mode

1. Icemaking refers to the freezing of supplied water in the ice tray. Complete freezing is assured by measuring the
temperature of the Tray with Icemaking SENSOR.
2. Icemaking starts after completion of the water fill operation.
3. The Ice Making function is completed when the sensor reaches 19°F (-7°C), 55 minutes after starting.
NOTE : After Icemaker Power is ON, the Icemaker heater will be on for test for 6 sec.
2-3. Harvest Mode

1. Harvest (Ice removing) refers to the operation of dropping ices into the ice bin from the tray when icemaking has
completed.
2. Harvest mode:
(1) The Heater is ON for 30 seconds, then the motor starts.
(2) The feeler arm senses the quantity of ice in the ice bin while rotating with the EJECTOR.
A. ice bin is full : The EJECTOR stops (heater off).
B. ice bin is not full : The EJECTOR rotates twice to open for ice.
If the EJECTOR does not rotate once within 5 minutes in B mode, separate heater control mode starts operating to
prevent the EJECTOR from being constrained. (It is recommended that the user open for ice to return to normal mode.)
2-4. Fill/Park Position

1. Once a normal harvest mode has been completed, the water solenoid will be activated.
2. The amount of water is adjusted by pressing the Fill Key repeatedly. This changes the time allowed for fill as illustrated in
the table below.
Water supply amount TABLE
STAGE TIME TO SUPPLY INDICATIONS REMARKS
1 5 sec.
The water amount will vary depending

2 5.5 sec. on the water control switch setting, as
(FIRST STAGE) well as the water pressure of the
connected water line.
3 6 sec.
- 42 -
2-5. Function TEST
1. This is a forced operation for TEST, Service, cleaning, etc. It is operated by pressing and holding the Water amount selection
button for 3 seconds.
2. The test works only in the Icemaking Mode. It cannot be entered from the Harvest or Fill mode. (If there is an ERROR, it
can only be checked in the TEST mode.)
3. Caution! If the test is performed before water in the ice tray is frozen, the ejector will just pass through the water. When
the Fill mode begins (Stage 4), unless the water supply has been shut off, added water will overflow into the ice bin. If the
control doesn’t operate normally in the TEST mode, check and repair as needed.
4. After water is supplied, the normal CYCLE is followed: icemaking → Harvest → Fill → Park Position.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4. HOW TO DEAL WITH CLAIMS
4-1. Sound
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 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.
- 79 -
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
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.
(applicable to model with ice maker). • Automatic ice maker repeats the cycle of water supplying ➝ icemaking ➝ ice

- Noise from motor sounds “Whizz”. 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
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 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 -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 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 ■ Check if food is stored near the outlet of the cooling air.

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, the
refrigerator compartment will not be cooled.
- 81 -
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4-3. Odor and Frost
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 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 -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, 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.
- 82 -
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4-5. Others
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 ■ Explain how to store foods

wall 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 or
properly 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 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 front side should the refrigerator in a moment. (If the refrigerator is used for a long time, it will

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.
