Assemble in reverse order. Taking care to avoid.
1. Do not to bend the tube during assembly.
2. Press the Water Dispenser button letting water pour out,
this checks for any leaks in the tube connection, this may
vary depending on the water pressure
( about 2 minutes.).

4. ADJUSTMENT
4-1 COMPRESSOR
4-1-1 Role
The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure
gas from the evaporator of the refrigerator and compresses
this gas to high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It then
delivers the gas to the condenser.
- Stroke Trip
During the operation, if stroke is above the target value,
decrease the target volt by 3V.
- Current Trip
Current trip is set in order to protect compressor
mechanical part and drive from the overcurrent that might
arise during the operation.
Check the current for every 416.7us and if the Trip
exceeds 1.86Arms more than three times at Comp ON,
forcibly stop and restart six minutes later.
- Lock Piston Trip
If stroke is under 5mm even if the current is more than
14Arms, Take it as piston lock and restart after 230 of
Comp OFF. Check the current and stroke for every
416.7us and if the condition fits more than three times at
Comp ON, the Trip occurs.
- IPM fault Trip
It occurs if FO signal received from IPM is LOW. For
every 416.7us, check whether FO signal is LOW. The trip
occurs if it is found three times during the five
periods(83ms).

6-1 Error Code Summary
WARNING: When checking Resistance values, make sure to
turn off the power, and wait for the voltage to
discharge.
NOTE) Within 3 hours after the error : Press the Ice Plus button and Freezer button simultaneously
3 hours after the error : All errors, except for "Er rt", "Er SS",
"Er IS(except for Icing sensor)", "Er gF", "Er It" error, are displayed.
"Er IS" which is displayed without input of user is the error of Icing Sensor.

The controller assembly is made up of two different kinds of parts. The fuse and the sensor.
To determine if these parts are defective, check for resistance. The fuse will cut power to the
defrost heater at very high temperatures.

Sheath heater is a part for defrost. All heating wire is connected to only one line. To check if
the part is defective, check the resistance.
How to
Measure
(1) (2)
Set a ohmmeter connect to The 2 housing pin.
Measure the 2 pin connected to Sheath Heater.
If the ohmmeter indicate (VV)/Watt=R is good condition,
ex) when watt=350w, voltage=115v R=(115115)/350=38
But if the ohm meter indicate infinity the Sheath heater is bad.

REMARKS
12-6-1 Cleaning
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal Home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned
every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:

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. Turning the Icemaker stop switch off (O) stops the Icemaking function.
2. Setting the Icemaker switch to OFF and then turning it back on will reset the Icemaker control.

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 60 cc to 100 cc)
* DIP switch is on the main PCB.
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.
