storage.Micom Function

2-3. When ice is not dispensed smoothly

Ice is lumped together
• When ice is lumped together, take the ice lumps out of the ice storage bin, break them into small pieces, and then place them into
the ice storage bin again.
• When the ice dispenser produces too small or lumped together ice, the amount of water supplied to the ice dispenser need to be
adjusted. Contact the service center.
• If ice is not used frequently, it may lump together.

Power failure
Ice may drop into the freezer compartment. Take the ice storage bin out and discard all the ice then dry it and place it back. After the
machine is powered again, the previous selection mode remains.

The unit is newly installed

It takes about 12 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to make ice in the freezer compartment.

2-4. Ice Plus

1. Ice Plus is function to improve cooling speed of the freezing room by consecutively operating compressors and freezing room
fan.
2. Ice Plus is released if power failure occurs and then returns to the original status.
3. Temperature setting is not changed even if selecting the Ice Plus.
4. The change of temperature setting at the freezing room or the cold storage room is allowed with Ice Plus selected and processed.
5. The cold storage room operates the status currently set with Ice Plus selected and processed.
6. If selecting the Ice Plus, the Ice Plus function is released after continuously operating compressor and freezing room fan.
7. If frost removal starting time is arrived during Ice Plus, Ice Plus operation is done only for the remaining time after completion of
frost removal when the Ice Plus operation time passes 90 minutes. If passing 90 minutes, Ice Plus operation is done only for 2 hours
after completion of frost removal.
8. If pressing Ice Plus button during frost removal, the Ice Plus LED is turned on but if pressing the Ice Plus, compressor operates
after the remaining time has passed.
9. If selection Ice Plus within 7 minutes (delay for 7 minutes of compressor) after the compressor stops, compressor operates after

Micom Function
2-5. Control of variable type of freezing room fan
1. To increase cooling speed and load response speed, MICOM variably controls freezing room fan motor at the high speed of
RPM and standard RPM.
2. MICOM only operates in the input of initial power or special freezing operation or load response operation for the high
speed of RPM and operates in the standard RPM in other general operation.
3. If opening doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar while fan motor in the freezing room operates, the freezing
room fan motor normally operates (If being operated in the high speed of RPM, it converts operation to the standard RPM).
However, if opening doors of freezing room, the freezing room fan motor stops.
4. As for monitoring of BLDC fan motor error in the freezing room, MICOM immediately stops the fan motor by determining that
the BLDC fan motor is locked or poor if there would be position signal for more than 65 seconds at the BLDC motor.
Then it displays failure (refer to failure diagnosis function table) at the display part of refrigerator, performs re-operation in the
cycle of 30 minutes. If normal operation is performed, poor status is released and refrigerator returns to the initial status
(reset).

2-6. Control of M/C room fan motor

1. The M/C room fan motor performs ON/OFF control by linking with the COMP.
2. It controls at the single RPM without varying RPM.
3. Failure sensing method is same with freezing fan motor.(refer to failure diagnosis function table for failure display).

2-7. Door opening alarm

1. Buzzer generates alarm sound if doors are not closed even when more than a minute consecutively has passed with doors
of freezing / cold storage room or home bar opened.
2. Buzzer rings three times in the interval of 0.5 second after the first one-minute has passed after doors are opened and then
repeats three times of On/Off alarm in the cycle of every 30 seconds.
3. If all the doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar are closed during door open alarm, alarm is immediately
released.

There are two types of controllers used in the linear compressor system.
- The “A”-inverter system is used with the FLB075LBNA compressor.

Compressor
To reduce noise level, the piston stroke is slowly increased to full power during start up.

Step 1) Start up - Half stroke interval for first 30

seconds.
Step 2) Ramp up - Stroke increases every 0.8sec until
maximum stroke length is reached (about 3
min, 15 sec)
Step 3) CVCF interval - 180V / 60Hz

Step 1) Start up - Half stroke interval for first 20

seconds.
Step 2) Ramp up - Stroke increases until maximum
stroke length is reached (about 1 min, 40 sec)
Step 3) VVCF interval - target voltage and frequency
controlled by Control Board signals

There are 6 protection logics designed to protect the linear compressor system. When a failure is detected,
the compressor will shut and will try to restart after a set period of time for each type of failure. The LED
located on the inverter drive PCB will flash the appropriate code to indicate the detected failure. This code will
continue to flash until the unit is disconnected from the power source.

- Purpose: Prevent abnormally long piston strokes.

- Case 1. If compressor doesn’t work and LED blinks - Cause: Possibly harness from compressor to PCB might be defective.
- Case 2. If compressor works intermittently and LED blinks - Cause: Condenser Fan or Freezer Fan is not running. Sealed
system problem such as moisture restriction, restriction at capillary tube or refrigerant leak.
- Logic: Compressor is forced to off and then tries to restart after 1 minute.

1-3. Welding Repair Step

Required equipment: Simple welding machine
Remove pinch pliers if remaining refrigerant returnis completed.
Cut the front part of a process pipe with a cutter. (Check that remaining refrigerant comes out.)
Perform welding work such as replacement of compressor and dryer, or repair of leakage part. (Be cautious of fire during
welding work.)

1-5. Vacuum Air Removal

Required equipment: Vacuum pump
Connect a vacuum pump to a charging tube to perform vacuum cycle.
Vacuum work should be performed for an hour. (If vacuum time is short, normal cooling performance may not be exerted
due to failure of cooling cycle.)

1-6. Refrigerant Charging
Required equipment: Bombe, R134-a refrigerant (Energy Star, Al spiral condenser model : 165g / DOE, Fe wire condenser
model: 175g)
• Firstly remove fire appliances and heating source for performing work when charging scaled refrigerant. (Do not spray
refrigerant indoor.)
• Measure the accurate quantity (Energy Star, Al spiral condenser model : 165g / DOE, Fe wire condenser model : 175g) of
refrigerant to charge it into a Bombe.
• Make the Bomber as vacuum status to charge refrigerant.
(If there is air or moisture in a Bombe, it may give effect on performance of a cooling cycle.)
• Please manage refrigerant quantity as 165g 1 or 175g 1. Differently from R134a, R134a gives much effect on cooling
performance depending on change of refrigerant quantity.

Refrigerant quantity = Weight after charging Weight before charging (weight of vacuumed Bombe)
• Connect Bombe with a charging tube to charge refrigerant.
• Turn on power of refrigerator to operate a compressor.
• Measure Bombe weight after 5 through 10 minutes to check remained refrigerant quantity to complete charging of
refrigerant.
(After charging refrigerant, never perform welding work or work using fire appliances.)

1-7. Leak Inspection and Cycle Check

Suction Pipe

Charging Tube Discharge Pipe

Required equipment: Leakage checking machine (foam and leakage inspection machine)
Check for leakage by using form or a leakage inspection machine at the worked part if charging of refrigerant is
completed.
Check for leakage at the low pressure part with the compressor stopped, and check at the high pressure part with the
compressor being operating.
If leakage is detected, proceed to repair according to repair process again starting from “2-1. Returnof Refrigerator
Refrigerant”.
(Never perform welding work or work using fire appliances.)
Check that heat remains at a discharge pipe or condenser with the hands if leakage check is completed. If heat remains,
the cooling cycle is normal.
(Take care since a discharge pipe may be hot.)
