9. Operation Function
When the system power is initally engaged, the default set temperature are -20 for the freezer and 3 for the set
refrigerator, respectively. The numbers shown on the digital display panel stand for the actual compartments
temperatures. When the compartment temperatures go down, so do the numbers on the display panel, and finally they
reach the set temperatures. Once the system is stabilized, the display temperatures are the set temperature.
note) Because of the temperature sensor sensivity, the refrigerator can be under and/or over cooled when
the air flow is blocked by stored foods. (Temperature range of the sensor : -930)
In the event of a power failure, if the freezer temperature is maintained lower than 5, the last
selected set temperature and functions memorized in EEPROM will be restored when the power is on.
30
Operation Function
note) When the Power Freeze is selected, it enables maximum ice maker output. The ice making interval is
reduced from 90 mins to 55 mins (55 mins after the water delivery, if the ice temperature is maintained
lower than -7, the ice tray will be twisted). When the ice bucket is full before 10 hours of operation,
Power Freeze is automatically terminated.
1-3) During Power Freeze, the freezer retains the current settings.
1-4) When Power Freeze expires, the indicator goes off and the freezer set temperature will be restored.
4) Initial Power-On
4-1) The freezer and the refrigerator temperatures are higher than -10and 10 espectively if, respectively. If Power
Freeze is selected, the R-FAN will be off. If Power Cool is selected, the F-FAN will be off.
4-2) When both functions are selected, there is no benefit of fast cooling for each compartment.
When the child lock button is pressed for 3 seconds, the child lock indicator is on with an audible tone. when it is
locked, all keys can not be modified except the Ice type button. This function will prevent accidental setting that may
be caused by children or pets. To unlock the setting functions, press this button for 3 seconds again. Also, this button
has another function. When this button is pressed for 3 seconds (lock indication lamp turn on), the heater for sweat
control is off at a same time. If sweat is appeared around the cover dispenser or beverage station, press this button
for 3 seconds again. then, the light will turn off and the sweat control function will be performed. and all keys will be
unlocked at a same time.
31
Operation Function
Among several ice-maker functions, the ice extraction function is performed by mechanical system. Only the relay
control for a cubed-ice dispensing and the SSR control for the ice chute door are performed electronically.
Note) When the Ice-off indicator is on and the remained ice is in tray, only Cubed ice will be dispensed from
the ice bucket.
1-5) The ice chute door must be open for 5 seconds after dispensing ceases. After this 5 seconds delay, SSR will be
controlled to shut the ice chute door.
Note) Do not force to close the ice chute door. Try to dispense some more ice again to work it automatically.
According to the ambient temperature, the condenser fan located in the machine compartment is operated with
different modes.
To select this function, open the refrigerator door and press the button on the control panel of CoolSelect Zone TM
drawer.
When the CoolSelect ZoneTM function is selected, the damper inside fan ductwork is open. So the refrigerator cooling
is performed first, then the damper is closed to control the CoolSelect ZoneTM temperature.

Circuit Descriptions
This circuit shows SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply) which converts AC input voltage (230V, 50Hz) to a high DC
voltage (about 320V). The input AC source power is converted to DC through a wave rectifier (BD1) and the converted
DC power will generate a constant waveform on the switching transformer using a high speed (100KHz) switching motion
of TOP223Y. The D104 will rectify the generated voltage and transform into a steady 12V DC source power used for the
digital display panel and relays. The regulator (KA7805) finally transforms into 5V DC source power for the control board
and sensors circuits.
Caution) Be careful to handle this circuit due to high voltages (AC115V, DC170V)
This is oscillator circuit to generate synchronous clocks used to calculate the time for the microprocessor operation.
Note) If the specification of a resonator changes, micro-processor can not work properly.
Terminal Voltage
Vcc DC 5V
RESET DC 5V
The reset circuit is to initialize the values RAM other sectors of micro-processor. When the power is engaged initially,
the reset voltage becomes Low, and it keeps High in the normal operation.

1) A thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) is used for a temperature sensor.
2) Resistors, R 306 R310 and capacitors, C 301 C 305 are used for a noise protection purpose.
3) For the F-sensor, the input voltage into the micro processor (MICOM), VF is calculated by (Rth x Vcc)/(R303+ Rth),
where Rth is a corresponding resistance to the thermistors output (See Ref. 6 in Appendix).
4) The F-Def sensor is connected with a bimetal and a temperature sensor is in parallel. In a normal operation of the
system, the bimetal is on and 0V is input into the micro-processor. During a defrost cycle, the bimetal will be off from
54, and a divided voltage with R304 enter to the micro-processor to keep sensing the set temperature.

1-3) When the motor rpm is in 600700, it will stop automatically and it tries to resume after 10 seconds. If the motor is
not working properly after 5 time trials, it will rest for 10 minutes, then try to resume again. This process will be
done continuously.
Note) If there is an abnormal situation for the motor, the self-diagnostics will show the corresponding LED segment.
2) Most of relays or SSRs can control the compressor, refrigerator/freezer defrost heater, and several option functions.
3) For the compressor, #18 pin of micro processor signals High (5V). This signal enters #5 pin of IC3 and #14 of output
terminal which have base and collector functions of IC3 turns on and connects the GND. Relay 73 will be grounded
through #14 of IC. Magnetic field will generate so that the second side of RY73 is activated and 115V is supplied to
the compressor. On the other hands, if #18 of micro processor turns Low(0V), #5 of IC3, the current of RY 73 relay,
and magnetic field will shut down in sequence. A contact point in secondary side of Relay 73 is off. Finally compressor
will stop.

Reference
The refrigerator has been applied with the BLDC fan motor. For RS2533, R room Fan is AC motor used. The BLDC
motor is driven by DC 8-12V.
Under the normal condition of COMP ON, it is operated together with F-FAN motor. With operation of the CoolSelect
ZoneTM function, the F-Fan motor may do not work. If the door is opened and closed once at a high ambient
temperature, the BLDC motor would be operated after a 1-minute or longer delay. Therefore, you re advised not to
take it for an error.
When the refrigerator is open, the freezer fan motor will also stop working simultaneously with the fan motor. (for the
purpose of performance improvement).
