Remove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins.
- Otherwise there is a risk of fire.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power board. The refrigerator should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical which has a voltage rating that matched the rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause
a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Do not install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in contact with water.
- Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.
The refrigerator must be grounded.
- You must ground the refrigerator to prevent any power leakages or electric shocks caused by current
leakage from the refrigerator.
Do not put bottles or glass containers in the freezer.
- When the contents freeze, the glass may break and cause personal injury.
Do not store volatile or flammable substances in the refrigerator.
- The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas and other such products may cause explosions.

4-1-1-2-1. FORCED OPERATION Function
1-1) E
ach time any button is pressed during the Test Mode, it will enter the Forced Operation. When it starts
the Forced Operation, the temperature LED Lamps indicating 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 will be on
showing that it is on the Forced Operation. At this time, it starts alarming with Beep sounds.
1-2) When the Forced Operation is selected, the compressor starts without a 7-minute delay in any operation
mode. At this time, when it is in a Defrost mode, it stops defrosting and the Forced Operation begins.
(If the Forced Operation begins as soon as the compressor stops, it may cause the overload. So, take
care when entering into the Forced Operation.)
1-3) When the Forced Operation is selected, the compressor and the F-Fan operate for 24 hours without
stopping.
1-4) When the unit is shifted to the Forced Operation, the Fridge temperatures will be automatically set to 1.
1-5) When the Forced Operation is selected, the Power Cool function won't work. (All the buttons will operate
normally.) And, when the Power Cool function is selected, the Power Cool LED will go off in 10 seconds.
1-6) When the Forced Defrost or Test Cancellation Mode is selected within a minute with the Forced
Operationbeing selected, the set temperature will be changed to the previously set operating
temperature.
1-7) The alarm sound during the Forced Operation keeps on until the Forced Operation completes and there
is no cancellation function.

4-1-2. Self-Diagnosis Function

4-1-2-1. For Models with Electronic Displays
1) Self-Diagnosis Function upon Initial Power-On
1-1) When the unit is plugged into the power, MICOM diagnoses the status of the temperature sensors in a
few minutes.
1-2) If defective sensor is found after Self-Diagnosis, relevant Display LEDs will blink at an interval of 0.5
sec. and there will be no beeping sound. (Refer to the Self-Diagnosis Check List)
1-3) When there is a defective sensor found and its relevant LED blinks, it will only recognize the SelfDiagnosis button combination and it doesn't do the normal display.
But, the temperature will be controlled with the Emergency Operation.
1-4) To cancel the error code, fix the failure of the defective sensor or cancel the Initial Self-Diagnosis
Function by pressing the Power Cool and the Fridge buttons for 13 seconds.
2) Self-Diagnosis Function during Normal Operation

"2,3,5" temperature LEDs on the Display Panel will blink at the interval of 0.5 seconds for 3
seconds.
When pressing the Power Cool + Fridge buttons for 10 seconds including the 3-second blinking time,
only the "3" temperature LED will blink at the interval of 0.5 seconds for 3 seconds. At this time,
when pressing the Power Cool and the Fridge buttons at the same time for 13 seconds including the
3-second blinking time, it will send out a "Ding-Dong" buzzer sound and go into the Self Diagnosis
Function.
2-2) When it goes into the Self-Diagnosis, the entire display panel goes off and when there is an error
occurred, it will last for 60 seconds continuously and go to the normal operation whether or not the
error is fixed.
(It sends out "Ding-Dong" sound) (Refer to the Self-Diagnosis Check List below)
2-3) Buttons won't work during Self-Diagnosis.

1) For example, if you want to shift the standard temp of the Fridge compartment by -2, follow the steps
below. This function is to change the default temperature and when the default temperature of the Fridge
compartment is 2 and the default setting is lowered by -2 with the Option function, the default
temperature will be controlled at 0. That is, when changing temperature options, the Fridge compartment
will operate at 0 internally even if it shows 2 on the display panel. Therefore, the temperature will be
controlled by -2 lower than the set temperature on the display panel.
Note
Basically, when units being shipped out, all the data in the Option function are cleared. That is, the Default
settings are 0. However, for the purpose of quality improvement during mass production, the Default
values may change. Therefore, be sure to check quality information, such as SVC bulletins.
2) After changing into the Option mode, 0"s on both of the Fridge and Freezer compartments lights up on
the display panel. (when units being shipped out, the unit will be shipped out with "0" set on the Fridge
compartments. However, for the purpose of quality improvement during mass production, the Default
values may change.)

OPTION SET-VALUE : "0"
3) Press the Power Cool button. And, when the LED LAMP (
LED On) for the Option #1 and the 7 LEDs
are on (Setting the Option #), press the Fridge Button and select the LED LAMP which equals to the SetValue #4 ( OFF, "3" LED ON). Then, its default temperature drops by -2.
: In 20 seconds after completing the adjustment, MICOM is to store the setting value in EEPROM and it
goes back to the normal display mode, deactivating the Option Setting mode.
4) The Fridge temperature can be adjusted with the same method.
5) Make sure not to change the factory-set default values excluding exceptional circumstances. Also, the
Option Setting will be completed when it goes back to the normal display mode in 20 seconds. So, do not
turn off the unit before it goes back to the normal display mode.

N
oise (resonance) problems
on even though the noise
generating BLDC motors for
both of the compartments are
replaced several times. What
does generate the resonance
and how can it be settled down?
When the BLDC fan motor rotates

in low RPM, The friction with air
is quite high and it generates
grinding noises.
If you replace the ambient

thermistor with a 2.7K resistance
(detecting 43), the BLDC fan
motor rotates in high RPM, which
reduces friction with air resulting
in reduction of the grinding
resonance.
W
hat causes the knocking
noises? How to solve it?
It makes knocking or branch

breaking noises when the liner
and the shelves hit each other
due to the fluctuation of the inside
air pressure upon door open/
close. Also, these noises occur
when the liners and the shelves
hit each other as the liners
expand and contract due to the
temperature change in both of the
compartments.
Check the clearance between the

selves and the liners.
Freezer Shelves: Remove the
trim shelves already attached
and replace them with those
supplied for service.
Fridge Shelves: Because
noisepreventing trim selves are
not attached, it needs attaching.
W
hat is the solution if the same
problem occurs even though
the counter action in the service
bulletin has been implemented
already for the knocking
noises?
Check if the selves wobble. If they do, have shelves sit firmly on their
places.
W
hat causes the liquid passing
noises from the back of the
refrigerator?
Refrigerant goes into the evaporator via the capillary tube in which the
refrigerant expands as it circulates the cooling cycle. At this time, the
refrigerant is in its liquid state and it starts evaporating as it reaches
at the inlet of the evaporator with a bigger diameter, which causes the
refrigerant noises. And, it gets worse when the refrigerant does not flow
freely.
For new refrigerators
W
hat is the solution for the
compressor noises?
W
compressor noises?
Check if the refrigerator is leveled.
Check if the refrigerator wobbles

by shaking with hands.
Check if there is enough clearance

at the back of the refrigerator
for the ventilation of the machine
compartment.
If there is not enough clearance

or it is blocked by things such
as newspaper, there could be
resonance noises.
Required clearance around the

product.
More than 5cm from the back,

30cm from the top and 10cm from
its sides.

Check Points
Corrective Measures
For old refrigerators
W
compressor noises?
Dust could get built-up in the

machine compartment. Then, its
ventilation would get restricted
which makes the refrigerator
overheated resulting in the increase
of the noise level.
Explain it to customers and let

them clean dust or any other
foreign substances in the machine
compartment.
As the vibration proof rubbers get

hardened, noises generate during
the comp operation.
(The noise level is quite high.)
Replace the vibration proof
rubbers.
Explain it to customers and let

them clean dust or any other
foreign substances in the machine
compartment.
During

the comp start-up, iron
friction noises occur.
What causes them?
The reciprocation piston could get worn out or inner components could
get dislocated.
W
hat can be checked when the
unit sends out noises?
1. Check its symptoms and patterns.

2. Check if the unit is installed on a firm and leveled floor.
3. Check if the unit is installed close to the customers living area.
4. Check if the panel on the machine compartment hits on the rear wall
and the unit has enough clearance with the rear wall.
5. Check if the refrigerant pipes are shaped as normal.
If it is considered to be low cooling,
When the BLDC motor fan does not
rotate because its restriction is not
picked up. When the evap-orator
is frozen-up (defrost it) Temp
detection error according to the
characteristic change of the thermistor (set the compartment temperature or replace the thermistor)
W
hy is the food melt even
though the display of the freezer
compartment shows -20C?
Check the compartment

temperature with a thermometer.
W
hy is the fridge compartment
not cool? (Not a defect)
Advise customers to adjust its temperature level to one or two step

higher. For example, when the ambient temperature is low such as in
winter (especially, when you use it in the morning with the door not being
opened or closed during the night), the compartment temperature could
get increased by 1~2 So, advise customers to shift its temperature level
and explain to them that it does not affect its power consumption that
much when its temperature setting is adjusted to one or two step lower.
W
hat is the reason that
vegetables get frozen even
though the fridge compartment
is set to MIN?
Replace the fridge thermistor because it could be faulty.

1st: Check if the thermistor works after referring to the self-diagnosis
checklist on the MAIN-PCB cover. If the over-cooling keeps on even
though there is no problem with the above, replace it.

Check Points
Corrective Measures
W
hat can be done when frozen
food gets melt in the freezer
compartment or it does not cool
down?
Defrost it by using hot water and check the defrost system for any fault.
And then, eliminate the root causes so as to prevent it from reoccurring.
W
hy doesnt the compressor
operate upon power supply?
Upon the initial power on, the compressor starts operating after a five
minute delay to protect the compressor. So, please wait until it starts
operating.
W
hy does it send out Ding
Dongor alarm sounds with the
doors closed?
(Except for the Rotary model as it does
not have any alarm.)
W
hat can be done when it sends
out much smell in the fridge and
the freezer compartments after 2
months?
The ice smells odd.
W
hat can be done when the Ice
Maker dose not produce ice?
Check if the food sticks out preventing the doors from closing properly.
If it send out the above sounds with the door closed well, the door switch
may not have been pressed down completely. So, make sure for the
door switches to be pressed completely. Still, if it does not stop going off,
check the wiring connections because the door switch signals may not
be inputted into the PCB. And, when the door switch is faulty or it is not
pressed down completely, the fan does not rotate and it causes lowcooling advancing to a defrost problem.
Note : W
hen it comes to automatic models, the fan motor does not
operate right on with the door closed after being opened. The fan
motor for dual-evaporator refrigerators starts after a 10 second
delay and when the ambient temperature is higher than 33, it
starts after a minute.
When the stored food sends out much smell.
Check if there is any food sending out sustaining smells.
Dried squid, dried laver : Hold on them Pounded garlic : Put it in an airtight
container
Medical herbs : Make sure they are packed airtight. Replace the old packing
or wrap with a new one.
Others : Check if the container is sealed or the food is packed airtight.
Check if the compartment temperature is normal and the food is
contaminated.
Check if there are any overflow of side dishes on the shelves or the bottom
of the compartments.
Put the food sending out much smell in an airtight bag or container.
Open the door and ventilate it.
Also, clean liners, shelves, containers and door bins.
If you make ice with tap water, a chlorine odor may occur. It is recommended
using mineral water or water filtrated by a water filtration device.
Wait 12 hours after installation of the refrigerator before making ice.
Check if you stop the ice making function manually.
if the freezer temperature is too warm, try setting the freezer
temperature lower.
Check if the water tank is filled with water.
Check if you fit the water tank correctly.

What can be done when the Water

dispenser does not function?
Check Points
Corrective Measures
If the water tank is frozen because the fridge temperature is too low, try selecting
a warmer setting on the Digital display.
Check if the water tank is filled with water.
Check if you fit the water tank correctly.
[Note]
1. It supplies water when the Dispenser Lever is turned on.
2. It stops the water supply when the Dispenser Lever is turned off.
3. When it passes 60 seconds after turning on the Dispenser Lever, the water supply
will be stopped regardless of the state of the Dispenser Lever.
During its delivery to customers, chemical smells from various components

could build up inside of the compartments. So, please let the doors open
for some time to use the unit.
W
hat is the cause and its
counter action for chemical
smells with new products?
W
hat can be done when the
smell keeps on even thought the
deodorizers are cleaned?
Precautions : S
mells tend to get soaked into the liners or other
components. If food generating much smell is stored inside,
it would sti ck onto the liners and other components and it
is so difficult to remove the smell.
Especially, customers should take care in storing smelly
food properly with its sealing being tight during the early
period of the products use.
1) Turn off the refrigerator (unplug the unit) and remain the door opened.
2) Take out the food stored in the refrigerator. And then, take out all the
shelves, door bins and containers, and put them in warm water.
After cleaning them by using dish detergents and drying them, put
them back to their locations.
3) Remove the deodorizer and soak it in warm water more than 4 hours.
After drying it in sunlight, put it back to its location.
4) Throw away the smell-soaked plastic bags and put the food in new
ones.
