2. FUNCTIONS
- Compressor

- Defrost Heater
A. Defrost Mode Operation conditon
(1) In case accumulated compressor run times: 6, 8, 10, 12 hours,
- when there occur any errors:
R1, D1, C1, RT, Door SW error etc. (Check "2-9. ERROR DISPLAY")
- or, running rate of COMP (per 2hrs of accumulated operation time) is more than 90%
- or, accumulated door open time is over 2 minutes
- or, ambient temperature (RT) is more than 38℃
(2) Even if the above condition is not satisfied,
defrost mode starts immediately when accumulated compressor run time is 14hrs.
B. Normal Defrost Mode
C. Forced Defrost Mode
- How to start:
(1) by press Door S/W for continuously and Control 'Dial Knob'(MIN -> MAX) 1 times.
(2) or, by press 'Test Key' 3 times on Main PCB
- If appliance has any error, Forces Defrost Mode don't start.
- Process: same as Normal Defrost Mode except 'PRE-COOL'
※Heater is supposed to be on Initial 30sec. even though the temp. at “D SENSOR” is
over 13℃. (for TEST)
- How to confirm: If Force Defrost Mode start, you can buzzer sound

•Comp ON, Fan On, Heater OFF
•Comp runs for 25min. before defrost mode

•Comp OFF, Fan OFF, Heater ON
•Heater off when 'D-Sensor' is over 10℃.
•Heater off after 60min. at normal control.
•Heater off after 40min. in case D1 error.
Pause
•Comp OFF, Fan OFF, Heater OFF
•10minutes.

2. FUNCTIONS
- R HTR
- COMP
A. Condition of LOW RT
- RT sensor below 19℃
- When the RT sensor is over 20℃, the system comes to be “General Operation Mode”.
- When the RT sensor is between 19°C to 20°C, the system keeps the previous mode.
B. Control
- When the temp of RT sensor is between 14°C to 19°C, COMP on/off temp is 3°C UP
- When the temp of RT sensor is below 14°C, COMP ON/OFF temp is 4°C UP

COMP
It takes several minutes to protect Compressor:
(1) 6 minutes after Comp off
(2) 30 minutes at operation of Low RT, but 6 minutes when the doors open more than 20 seconds

2-5. Prevention of Compressor Restart
Buzzer
A. When Forced Defrost Mode start, the buzzer rings 3times.
B. After 2 minutes power’s on, the buzzer rings 3 times.
C. At Short Circuit Test, the buzzer rings 1 times.
D. When door opens, the buzzer rings every 1 minute for 5 minutes.

A. How to Save
- 1 min : Click FAST KEY one time on MAIN PCB.
- 30 min : If you press FAST KEY continuously, you can reduce 30 minutes on each 2.5 seconds with
buzzer.

2.FUNCTIONS
Control Resistance of R sensor OFF Point
- When the refrigeration of refrigerator is poor or weak though Fan and COMP are working continuously,
the following actions are recommended for service.
(1) Resistance (R25) : Default resistance (31.4Kohms)
(2) Resistance (R26) : Cut the “J1” off to reduce basic resistance by 1.5°C. (2Kohms up)
(3) Resistance (R27) : Cut the “J2” off additionally to reduce basic resistance by 1.5°C. (total 4Kohms up)
※R25 = R-SENSOR OFF point
R25 + R26 = R-SENSOR OFF point - 1.5°C
R25 + R26 + R27 = R-SENSOR OFF point - 3°C

2. FUNCTIONS
- ERROR DISPLAY
- If appliance has any errors, LED on the Main PCB is flickering.
- If the appliance is normal (no error), LED IS off.
A. 'R1' ERROR
: It happens when R-Sensor is OPEN or SHORT.
(1) LED DISPLAY: Shortly flickering(0.3sec.) 1 times.
(2) CONTROL:
Controlled by the following condition of RT
※If 'RT ERROR' happens at the same time, “COMP. ON/OFF Operating Time” is 16min/24min.
(3) RELEASE: When R-Sensor is working normally.
B. 'RT' ERROR
: It happens when RT-Sensor is OPEN or SHORT.
(1) LED DISPLAY: Shortly flickering(0.3sec.) 2 times.
(2) CONTROL: Delete the conditions of 'RT-sensor Control' and operate normally.
(3) RELEASE: When RT-Sensor is working normally.
C. 'd1' ERROR
: It happens when D-Sensor is OPEN or SHORT.
(1) LED DISPLAY: Shortly flickering(0.3sec.) 3 times.
(2) CONTROL: Return to next limit defrost time (40 min)
(3) RELEASE: When D-Sensor is working normally.
D. 'DR' ERROR
: It happens when the system senses door opens more than 1 hour.
(1) LED DISPLAY: Shortly flickering(0.3sec.) 4 times.
(2) CONTROL: Delete function relating to door switch sensing
(3) RELEASE: When sensing close from door S/W.
※When pusing 'TEST KEY' on the main PCB,
LED is long(1.0sec.) flickering several times.
ex. 'Forced Defrost Mode:' long flickering 2 times
