ADJUSTMENT 1. COMPRESSOR 3) PTC-Applied Circuit Diagram According to Starting Method for the Motor 1) Role The compressor intakes low temperature and low OVERLOAD PROTECTOR(O.L.P) pressure gas evaporated from Evaporator of the Refrigerator, and condenses this gas to high temperature and high pressure gas, and then plays delivering role to Condenser.
3. OLP (OVER LOAD PROTEC TOR) CONTACTING 1) Definition of OLP POINT COVER (1) OLP (OVER LOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the BIMETAL Hermetic Compressor and protects the Motor by cutting off current in Compressor Motor in case of CONTACTING over-rising temperature by Bimetal in the OLP.

MICOM FUNCTION & PCB CIRCUIT EXPLAN ATION This description is made for GC-B359, B399. Please refer to overall PCB circuits for other models. 1 FUNCTION EXPOSITION 1) FUNCTION • The initial Temperature of the Freezer Compartment is -19°C r espectively. You can now adjust the temperature of the compartments as you want.
Page 21
3) SUPER FREEZING (1) It is the function which increases the cooling speed of freezer by continuously operating compressor and freezer fan. When it’s button is pressed, GRAPHIC is on. (2) Whenever selection switch is pressed, selection/release (GRAPHIC on/off) changes in turn. (3) If power is on after power cut, SUPER FREEZING function is canceled.
Page 22
5) DEFROSTING (1) If the accumulated time for the operation of the COMPRESSOR is meet with 7 hours, the DEFROSTING HEATER is started. (2) The first defrosting is performed at 4 hours(compressor ON) later since the power is on. (3) If DEFROST SENSOR is over 7°C during DEFROSTING, end the operation of DEFROSTING with DEFROSTING HEATER paused, And after 7 minutes, the operation for the freezing is started.
