• Cold air generated from the
cooling system is distributed to
the freezing compartment and
the refrigerating compartment by
the air circulation fan.
• In the freezing compartment, cold
air is distributed to the
compartment as well as to the
shelves from the cold air exhaust
port, food is frozen in the freezing
compartment by cold air shower.
• Cold air that comes out of the
freezing compartment is
absorbed back to the lower part
of the cooling system through the
suction port on the median
divider.
• In the refrigerating compartment,
cold air is distributed to the duct
cover through the median divider.
Cold air supplied to the duct
cover passes through the
refrigerating compartment.
• After cooling the refrigerating
compartment, cold air is
absorbed to the lower part of the
cooling system through the
suction port on the median
divider.

1. Temperature Control and Operational Description of Other Functions
1. Temperature Control Part Design
2. Temperature Control Function
1)Selecting Freezer Temperature
l Selecting¡Quick cooling~Quick freezing¡–is possible with turning temperature control knob.
l Controlled temperature of each temperature control knob position is as follows:
Knob Position
Controlled
Temperature
-16.0 -17.5
Normal
-19.0 -20.0 -21.0 -22.0
2)Selecting Refrigerator Temperature
l Selecting ¤~ ¤is possible with turning temperature control knob.
l Controled temperature of each temperature control knob position is as follows:
3. Defrosting Function
1)Defrosting is decided by the accumulated time of comp on.
2)Defrosting proceeds in order of heating ¡recess time.
3)The first defrosting function after the initial power on starts with 4 hours of accumulated
time of comp on, and then it repeats its function at every 8th hour of comp on.
4)In the process, controlling of defrosting heater ON/OFF is done by EVA-SENSOR. When the
quality of EVA-SENSOR is poor (short/open) defrosting will be terminated only after recess
time function without heating.
5)In the process, comp and fan maintain ON condition, after defrosting heating it operates with
10 min. recess time.
6)defrosting heating point ON and OFF operates by EVA-SENSOR and each temperature is as
follows:
Caution) As this controller is by the ROTARY S/W, in case it is off the position, it is set to step 4 automatically.

4. Testing Function
l This function is for PCB and test of products, work process test, and SVC.
l After checking the product's function by selecting TEST S/W, let the self-diagnosis function
start with the POWER OFF and ON.
1)Forced Starting Function
l COMP and FAN starts immediately after the TEST S/W on the Main PCB is pressed once. So
when the forced staring function is done right at the COMP OFF point, Over Load in the
COMP may be caused. Extra caution is necessary.
l When forced starting function is selected, COMP and FAN run for 24 hours regardless of the
freezer/refrigerator temperature and knob selection. Indicating Lamp on main PCB shows that
it is a forced starting function by 0.5sec interval ON/OFF.
l When a selected forced starting function is selected and maintains for 24 hours, defrosting
function starts its operation, and when defrosting is completed normal operation is carried out
according to the temperature selection knob position.
l To release it's operation during forced starting, power should be turned off and turned on
again or test release mode on 3) below should be selected.
2)Forced Defrosting Function
l If test switch is pressed once more during forced starting function, it is released immediately
and forced defrosting function starts, and the Lamp on main PCB shows that it's forced
defrosting by 1.0 sec. interval ON/OFF.
l When forced defrosting is selected COMP and FAN is turned off immediately, and defrosting
heater is turned on at the same time. At this moment if the sensed temperature of EVA-
SENSOR is higher than -5.0¡, defrosting heater is not turned ON and operates only for recess
time and returns to normal operation.
l When Heating is completed it recesses for 10 mints. and after that indicating Lamp remains
ON and returns to normal operation.
3)Test Function Release Mode
If TEST S/W is pressed once more when forced defrosting function is carried out, forced
defrosting is released and stops for 10 mints. and after that it returns to normal operation.

5. Self-diagnosis Function
1)If the power is supplied to refrigerator, self-diagnosis function is carried out for 2 seconds
internally.
2)If there is no defect after self-diagnosis is carried out, it returns to normal operation.
3)If there is defect after self-diagnosis is carried out, defected area is indicated with the
corresponding display on the Table below by indicating Lamp on PCB, it does not start until all
defects are completely repaired.
4)When the refrigerator is repaired, check if it's done completely by turning power ON and OFF.
5)In order to check OPEN/SHORT function of SVC temperature sensor, carry out self-diagnosis
by turning power ON and OFF.
6)Display of Lamp Indicating Defects (Lamp On Time: 0.3sec., Lamp Off Time: 2sec.)
● If there are more than one defect, corresponding display is shown in sequence.
<Example of Defect Indication>
① When R-Room Sensor is defected, LAMP repeats one time of 0.3 second on, and then 2
seconds off.
➁ When R-Room Sensor and EXT Sensor are defected at the same time, LAMP repeats one
time of 0.3 second on, 2 seconds off, and then 3 times of 0.3 second on, 2 seconds off.

1. Power Circuit
2. Operational Principle of Each Circuit
Voltage
V12(DC 12V)
Vcc(DC 5V)
RELAY operation
Power around micom and detection part of sensor
Applied circuit
The decompressed AC voltage on the DC-TRANS secondary outputs around AC 16V to the both sides of the
‘a’ point. Then, DC 12V and 5V are supplied through the circuit and regular voltage IC REG1, REG2.
It oscillates generate clock for synchronizing the information transmission and reception of the internal
elements of MICOM and to calculate the time. If the specification of resonator is changed, it is not able to
operate normally because the trimming system of MICOM is altered.
2. Oscillation Circuit

Samsung Electronics 15
The reset circuit makes all program functions operate at the
initial stage by initializes the various parts such as RAM in
MICOM when the power is supplied or the power is supplied
to the MICOM power by a power failure in a moment.
When the power is supplied, the voltage of reset becomes
low during scores of uSEC, and it maintains high during the
normal operation.
If door is open, R-DOOR S/W contact is closed. Then when RED LINE supplies power to GRAY
LINE passing through R704 and PHOTO COUPLER(PC817) LED and D702, PC817 operates
and generates 50 or 60HZ globe-shaped wave.
MICOM recognizes this waveform and detects that door is open.
If door is closed, R-DOOR S/W contact is open and power is not supplied to PC817, MICOM
recognizes that door is closed as DC5V is maintained continuously.

4. Door S/W Sensor Circuit

5. Temperature Sensor Circuit
1) As the sensor uses a thermistor, its resistance gets smaller when the temperature is high,
and it gets bigger when the temperature is low.
2) The voltage which is input to MICOM by a sensor is calculated with Vf=(Rth¡¿
Vcc)/(R303+Rth). (Vcc=DV5V,Rth:Sensor resistance)
3) Refer to the attached conversion table of resistance and input voltage of sensor for
temperature.

Samsung Electronics 17
6. Temperature Controller (Rotary S/W) Circuit
Temperature controlling is carried out by changing ROTARY S/W KNOB assembled inside
the refrigerator from level 1 to level 8.
The voltage of temperature controlling SETTING is divided by combined resistance of DC5V
resistance R503 and resistance value of ROTARY S/W(this is a combined parallel
resistance of R908 and resistance value of ROTARY S/W position) and resistance R502.
Divided voltage is supplied to MICOM through resistance R501 and recognizes temperature
controlling then carries out temperature controlling SETTING.
Input Voltages and Resistance values of MAIN PCB MICOM input unit for ROTARY S/W
contact position of SUB PCB ASS'Y are like below.(In case of resistance value estimation,
connector terminal should be estimated after the connector of MAIN PCB CN01 is
disassembled).
❈ On the above Table, resistance value is not calculated when SUB PCB ASS'Y connecting
line is disconnected or there are any cracks on PCB board.
