Chapter 1 General Information
1-1. General Guidelines
When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have
been overheated or damaged by the short circuit. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices
such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed. After servicing, make the
following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
1) Leakage Current Cold Check
2) Leakage Current Hot Check
3) Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatic Sensitive
1-2. Insurance Test
1. Check if there is any leak of current.
2. Cut out the power supply before the repair to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
3. In the case of a live-line test, insulating gloves should be worn to avoid potential electrical shock.
4. Confirm the rated current, voltage and capacity before testing with any kinds of instruments.
5. Watch if the upper door is open when we check something at a lower position.
6. Take out every part in the cabinet before moving the machine, especially things like panels (e.g.
glass shelf).
7. Please wear intact cotton gloves when repair any parts of the evaporator, so that scratches by
the sharp fins can be avoided.
8. If there is a breakdown with the refrigeration system, please surrender the machine to the service
center, else the leaked refrigerant may pollute the atmosphere.
9. The refrigerator use AC of 115V with a frequency of 60Hz.
10. A big fluctuation of voltage may cause a start failure of the refrigerator, a burn-out of the control
panel and compressor, or an abnormal sound from the compressor in operation.
11. Take care not to damage the supply line. Don’t yank at the line; pull the plug out gently from the

receptacle. Don’t press the line under the cabinet or step on it. Take care not to roll on or damage the
supply line when moves the machine from the wall.
12. In the case of leakage of inflammable gases like carbon monoxide, open the door and windows.
Don’t pull out or insert the plugs of the appliance.
13. Don’t touch the refrigeration surface of the freezing compartment when the refrigerator is in
operation, especially when our hand is wet, else we may be glued to the surface.
14. Pull out the plug of power supply during clearance or power outage. Wait at least five minutes to
resume the power supply in order to prevent damage to the compressor caused by continuous restart.

6-2. Normal phenomena
Problems Reasons Solving methods
Compressor
can not be
started
1. Cable broken. The contact of plug,
socket, and cable is broken.
2. The voltage is too low ,and lower than
the rated voltage115V
3. The knob of the thermostat is at “0”
position (When ambient temperature is
higher than “30” degree centigrade ,set the
knob to “1-2” position; When ambient
temperature is between “16-30” degree
centigrade ,set the knob to the “3-4”
position, and when it lower than “16”
degree centigrade ,set the knob to the
“4-5”position)
4. The thermostat is out of order
1. Check and contact normally, or
else, change damaged part.
2. Use until the voltage rise to the
rated voltage ,or attach the voltage
stabilizer
3 Set the knob of the thermostat to
the suitable position
4. Change the thermostat
Compressor
starts too
frequently
1.The distance between protection and the
heater is too close
2.The door gasket does not seal enough or
the cabinet’ heat insulation is not good
3.The setting of the thermostat knob is too
low
1. Adjust the overload adjustable
screw, and increase their
distance.
2. Check and repair the cabinet or
the door gasket.(check if the
door gasket flashed and repair
it )
3. Set the knob of the thermostat
to the suitable position
Compressor
runs without
stopping
1. The refrigerant leakage or insufficient
2. The refrigerant is superfluous
3. The condenser is dirty
4. The refrigerator insulation layer is
destroyed, and the door gasket’ sealing
is bad.
1. Check and find the leakage
point, let out the refrigerant,
then meld it and vacuumed and
fill the refrigerant again.
2. Let out the suitable refrigerant
3. Make sure the condense clean
4. the door gasket.(check if the
door gasket flashed and repair
it )

There is noise
when the
compressor
running
1.The fridge body is not stable and in level.
2.When the compressor is running ,there is
friction in tube and fridge that lead to
syntony
3. Compressor fixed screw is too loose
4.The damping washer fixed too tight or
loose or ageing
1.Make the refrigerator stable
2.Move the tube and avoid the
friction (the distance between
tube and tube and side of
cabinet is more than 1cm)
3.Fasten the screw
4.Adjust the fixed angle or
change the damping washer
There is no
frost on
evaporator
1.The refrigerant leakage
2.There is ice block or dirty block in the
capillary or the system.
1.Check and find the leakage point,
let out the refrigerant, then meld it
and vacuumed and fill the
refrigerant again.
2.Clean the system with blowing
nitrogen, change the capillary and
vacuum and fill the refrigerant
again.
No frosting
1. The knob of thermostat is setted too
high
2. The door gasket flashed and lead to the
cold air out of the fridge
1. Change the thermostat (the
method as up saying)
2. Repair the door gasket (Use the
electric blower to move 3~5 times
come-and-go along with the
direction of door gasket, make the
door gasket and cabinet fit well.
Noting: The distance between the
blower air out and the door gasket
is more than 20cm. Do not touch
the door gasket with our hand .And
when blowing the door gasket, pat
the door slightly with our hand.)

Check if the home power

NO
YES
Check if thermostat is set
at “0” YES Adjust thermostat setting position
NO
Check if the thermostat is
normal
Test if the thermostat is normal under power on status:
Method-1: Setting thermostat to coldest position (7 grade), observe if the machine can be
started. If compressor still not start, it means that the thermostat maybe failure.
YES
Check if the PTC starter is
normal?
Test if resistance of PTC starter, if it is ZERO or INFINITE, means the starter is out of
work. For PTC starter, when shake it, it should not have noise, if it has, means the
starter Magnetic Disk burned.
YES
Check if the overload
protector is normal?
1. Measure whether two ends of overload protector is through
using multimeter Ohm grade. Not through means protector is
defective.
2. Measure running current of compressor using clamp-type
tester. If overload protector act when current is normal, means
protector failure and should be replaced.
YES
Check if each connector of PTC
starter overload protector is in
good condition?
Check each connectors of the PTC starter and overload
protector, ensure each contact is in good condition, then
power on and retest the machine.

YES
Check if the compressor is
normal ?
YES
Check if the starting current of
compressor excess too much?
Test the resistance parameter of the compressor; if it
is ZERO, inner winding is short circuit. If it is
infinite, inner winding is break circuit
If all technical parameter of compressor and
compressor accessories (PTC starter, overload
protector, run capacitor) are normal after above test,
but compressor still can not be started, and overload
protector action, the actual starting current excess
too much. This phenomenon usually caused by
compressor inner mechanical failure (cylinder-block
or axis-hung problem).
