4. ADJUSTMENT 4-1 COMPRESSOR 4-2-3 PTC-Applied Circuit Diagram Starting Method for the Motor 4-1-1 Role The compressor intakes low temperature and low pressure gas from the evaporator of the refrigerator and compresses OVERLOAD PROTECTOR this gas to high-temperature and high-pressure gas. It then delivers the gas to the condenser.
4-3 OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) 4-4 TO REMOVE THE COVER PTC 4-3-1 Definition of OLP (1) OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the Compressor and protects the Motor by opening the circuit to the Motor if the temperature rises and activating the bimetal spring in the OLP. (2) When high current flows to the Compressor motor, the Bimetal works by heating the heater inside the OLP, and the OLP protects the Motor by cutting off the...

7-1-5 Alarm for Open Door 1. This feature sounds a buzzer when the freezer or refrigerator door is not closed within 1 minute after it is opened. 2. One minute after the door is opened, the buzzer sounds three times each for 1/2 seconds. These tones repeat every 30 seconds.
Page 18
7-1-9 Defect Diagnosis Function 1. Automatic diagnosis makes servicing the refrigerator easy. 2. When a defect occurs, the buttons will not operate; but the tones. such as ding. will sound. 3. When the defect CODE removes the sign, it returns to normal operation (RESET). 4.
