6.EXPLANATION FOR MICOM CIRCUIT 1. EXPLANATION FOR PCB CIRCUIT 1-1. Power circuit The power circuit includes a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS). It consists of a rectifier (BD1 and CE1) converting AC to DC, a switch (IC2) switching the DC voltage, a transformer, and a feedback circuit (IC3 and IC4). Caution : Since high voltage (160 Vdc) is maintained at the power terminal, wait at least 3 minutes after unplugging the appliance to check the voltages to allow the current to dissipate.
Page 32
1-2. Oscillation circuit The oscillation circuit generates a basic clock signal for synchronization and time calculation related to the transmission of data and calculations made by the MICOM (IC1). The oscillator (OSC1) must always be replaced with an exact rated part, because if this changes, the time calculations of the MICOM will be affected and it might not work at all.

Switch entry circuit The following circuits are sensing signal form the test switch, damper motor reed switch for testing and diagnosing the refrigerator.
Page 38
The motor is driven by magnetism formed in the areas of the coils and the stator. Rotation begins when a HIGH signal is applied to MICOM Pin 16 of IC10 (TA7774P). This causes an output of HIGH and LOW signals on MICOM pins 14 and 15. Explanation) The stepping motor is driven by sending signals of 3.33 mSEC via MICOM pins 14, 15, and 16, as shown in the chart below.
Page 39
1-8. Fan motor driving circuit (freezer, mechanical area) 1. The circuit cuts all power to the fan drive IC, resulting in a standby mode. 2. This circuit changes the speed of the fan motor by varying the DC voltage between 7.5 Vdc and 16 Vdc. 3.
