ADJUSTMENT 4-1 COMPRESSOR 4-2 Introduction of E-Linear Compressor 4-1-1 Role E-Linear compressor is run by mechanical part design through automatically varying the cooling power. The main parts consist of compressor and Sub PCB which controls the compressor. PCB authorizes constant voltage and constant frequency to the compressor and protects it. The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure gas from the evaporator of the refrigerator and compresses this gas to high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It then delivers the gas to the condenser. 4-2-1 Control of Compressor Block Diagram 4-1-2 Note for Usage (1) Be careful not to allow over-voltage and over-current. (2) Do not drop or handle carelessly. (3) Keep away from any liquid. If liquid such as oil or water enters the Cover PTC Compressor may fail due to breakdown of their insulating capabilities. (4) Always use the Parts designed for the compressor and make sure it is properly attached to the compressor. Parts may appear physically identical but could have different electrical ratings. Replace parts by part number and model number. Use only approved substitute parts. Compressor Controller Main Micom PWM Signal Frequ -ency Inverter Linear Comp DC link Voltage Vcap Voltage Counter electromotive force Calculate counter electromotive force 4-1-3 REMOVE THE COVER PTC Control Block Diagram of Compressor 4-2-2 Compressor operating pattern Drive half stroke after turning on initial power for 30 seconds. Then, slowly increase stroke and reach target input. Once reaching the target input, input naturally changes according to refrigerator load without any special control. (1) Remove the Cover Back M/C Comp. input (2) Loosen two screws on comp base ❶ (3) Use a L-shaped flap tooll to pry off the cover (4) Assembly in reverse order of disassembly ❷ ❸ Interval 1) Half stroke interval - after initial running, stay at the initial value for 30 seconds Interval 2) Running interval - Increase at every 0.8 till it reaches the target input; it takes about 3 Minutes and 45 seconds. Interval 3) CVCF interval - Run by target voltage and main operating frequency and the input naturally changes according to refrigerator load - 18 - 4-2-4 Compressor problems diagnosis 4-2-3 Compressor protection logic Since linear Comp conducts linear reciprocating motion, we have protection logic for compressor, motor and PCB as the below. When there is a problem or failure with the `operation, you are kindly recommended to check it as follows ; 1) Check to normality by measurement of resistance - Stroke Trip During the operation, if stroke is above the target value, decrease the target volt by 3V. Measure the resistance between poles of the hermetic terminal (as shown picture) with a multi-tester. (measurement several minutes after power off) - Current Trip Current trip is set in order to protect compressor mechanical part and drive from the overcurrent that might arise during the operation. Check the current for every 416.7us and if the Trip exceeds 1.86Arms more than three times at Comp ON, forcibly stop and restart six minutes later. - Lock Piston Trip If stroke is under 5mm even if the current is more than 14Arms, Take it as ‘piston lock’ and restart after 2’30” of Comp OFF. Check the current and stroke for every 416.7us and if the condition fits more than three times at Comp ON, the Trip occurs. P : Power Line C : Common Line Multi-tester Case 1-1 If the measured values lie in the normal resistance range as in the table below, Compressor is normal. - IPM fault Trip It occurs if FO signal received from IPM is LOW. For every 416.7us, check whether FO signal is LOW. The trip occurs if it is found three times during the five periods(83ms). Case 1-2 If the measured values are above several M Wire is disconnected in the shell. or a infinity, Case 1-3 If the measured values are excessively of small number, There is short somewhere in the shell. Normal resistance range (measured at ambient temperature 23 ) Resistance FC75LANE 6~8 According to ambient temperature or operation situation, the values could show a little deviation. - 19 - 2) Check to normality by measurement of Voltage 3) Check problems by LED On & Off Count _ (Sub PCB) Measure the resistance between pin of the connector (as shown picture) with a multi-tester. If compressor protection logic is running, LED Lamp’s blinking frequency of sub PCB, which takes in charge of control, can help estimate the protection logic’s symptoms and the cause of its problems. Standard for normality - In order to decide whether compressor operating is normal or not, check the output transfer during the refrigerator operation. - After input the initial power and compressor operates, wait for 10 minutes to estimate. - Compressor operation may be diagnosed as normal if the voltage falls between 145V and 180V. Warning 1. Please be cautious of electric shock and short (it is estimated after turning on initial power). 2. If the voltage is estimated less than 80V, it is diagnosed as bad. Trip name Led Times Comp Off Time Stroke Trip 2 1min Current Trip 6 6min Lock Piston Trip 5 2min 30sec IPM fault trip 7 20sec - Current Trip PCB defects or Cycle clogging maybe the causes. After estimating winding resistance, estimate compressor operation voltage to check if there is any problem and take actions to repair cycle at replacement of compressor. - Stroke Trip can occur when the surrounding temperature is high, C-Fan, F-Fan and so on are constrained, or when cycle problems, such as moisture blocking or compressor defect, are related. - Lock Piston Trip Since compressor itself can be a potential cause of a defect, estimate the compressor resistance value according to #1’s compressor winding value estimation method and estimate the #2’s compressor operation voltage to decide whether it is defective or not (Before replacement of compressor, replace PCB and conduct the replacement of compressor during compressor replacement) - IPM fault Trip Replace sub PCB since there is high chance that it is caused by sub PCB’s part defect. - 20 - 5.

Step 1) Start up - Half stroke interval for first 1 second. Step 2) Ramp up - Stroke increases every 0.8sec until maximum stroke length is reached (about 1 min) 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) VVVF 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.

EJECTOR Automatic Shut off Arm Cube Size Indicator Light Cube Size Selection Button - 65 - Power Switch 13-2 ICE MAKER FUNCTIONS 13-2-1 Icemaking Mode 1. Icemaking refers to the freezing of supplied water in the ice tray. Complete freezing is assured by measuring the temperature of the Tray with Icemaking SENSOR. 2. Icemaking starts after completion of the water fill operation. 3. The Ice Making function is completed when the sensor reaches 19°F (-7°C), 55 minutes after starting. NOTE : After Icemaker Power is ON, the Icemaker heater will be on for test for 6 sec. 13-2-2 Harvest Mode 1. Harvest (Ice removing) refers to the operation of dropping ices into the ice bin from the tray when icemaking has completed. 2. Harvest mode: (1)The Heater is ON for 30 seconds, then the motor starts. (2)The feeler arm senses the quantity of ice in the ice storage bin while rotating with the EJECTOR. A. Ice storage bin is full : The EJECTOR stops (heater off). B. Ice storage bin is not full : The EJECTOR rotates twice to open for ice. If the EJECTOR does not rotate once within 5 minutes in B mode, separate heater control mode starts operating to prevent the EJECTOR from being constrained. (It is recommended that the user open for ice to return to normal mode.) 13-2-3 Fill/Park Position 1. Once a normal harvest mode has been completed, the water solenoid will be activated. 2. The amount of water is adjusted by pressing the Fill Key repeatedly. This changes the time allowed for fill as illustrated in the table below. Water supply amount TABLE STAGE TIME TO SUPPLY 1 5 sec. 2 5.5 sec. (FIRST STAGE) 3 6 sec. INDICATIONS REMARKS The water amount will vary depending on the water control Switch setting, as well as the water pressure of the connected water line. - 66 - 13-2-5 Function TEST 1.
