Before Installation
1. The icemaker requires the water pressure of 1.5 8.5kgf/cm2. (It is acceptable if city water fills a cup of
180cc with water for 3 seconds)
2. Install booster pump where the city water pressure is
below 1.5kgf/cm2 for normal operation of water and ice
dispenser.
3. The total length of water pipe shall be less than 12m. Do
not bend the pipe at right angle. If the length is more
than 12m, there will be troubles on water supply due to
water pressure drop.
4. Please install water pipe where there is no heat around.

1) The water supplying time is set at five seconds when the refrigerator is delivered.
2) The amount of water supplied depends on the setting time and water pressure (city water pressure).
3) If ice cube is too small, increase the water supplying time. This happens when too small water is supplied into the ice tray.
4) If ice cube sticks together, decrease the water supplying time. This happens when too much water is supplied into the ice tray.
Caution : When adjusting the amount of water supplied, adjust step by step. Otherwise the water may spill over.

MICOM FUNCTION
2-2. Automatic ice maker
The automatic ice maker can automatically make 8 pieces of ice cube at a time, 80 pieces a day. But these quantities may
be varied according to various conditions including how many times the refrigerator door opens and closes.
Ice making stops when the ice storage bin is full.
If you dont want to use automatic ice-maker, change the ice-maker switch to ON-OFF.
If you want to use automatic ice-maker again, change the switch to OFF-ON.
NOTE : It is normal that a noise is produced when ice made is dropped into the ice storage bin.
- 24 -
MICOM FUNCTION
2-5. Control of variable type of freezing room fan
1. To increase cooling speed and load response speed, MICOM variably controls freezing room fan motor at the high speed
of RPM and standard RPM.
2. MICOM only operates in the input of initial power or special freezing operation or load response operation for the high
speed of RPM and operates in the standard RPM in other general operation.
3. If opening doors of freezing / cold storage room or home bar while fan motor in the freezing room operates, the freezing
room fan motor normally operates (If being operated in the high speed of RPM, it converts operation to the standard
RPM). However, if opening doors of freezing room or home bar, the freezing room fan motor stops.
4. As for monitoring of BLDC fan motor error in the freezing room, MICOM immediately stops the fan motor by determining
that the BLDC fan motor is locked or poor if there would be position signal for more than 65 seconds at the BLDC motor.
Then it displays failure (refer to failure diagnosis function table) at the display part of refrigerator, performs re-operation in
the cycle of 30 minutes. If normal operation is performed, poor status is released and refrigerator returns to the initial
status (reset).

2-10. Frost removal function
1. Frost removal is performed whenever total operation time of compressor becomes 7 ~ 7.5 hour.
2. In providing initial power (or returning power failure), frost removal starts whenever total operation time of compressor
becomes 4 ~ 4.5 hour.
3. Frost removal is completed if temperature of a frost removal sensor becomes more than 5C after starting frost removal.
Poor frost removal is not displaced if it does not arrive at 5C even if two hours have passed after starting frost removal.
4. No removal is done if frost removal sensor becomes poor (snapping or short-circuit).

Since door switch sensing switch (A), (B) are a separate switch even if the door switch of the freezing room normally
operates, they may fail to sense door opening in the failure of switch at both ends of (A) and (B) or in failure of the L/wire.
Lamp does at the cold storage room not turn on if the door switch of the cold storage room fails to sense the door open
switch (c ), (d) or the home bar switch.

The above ice maker circuits are applied to GC-P207, GC-L207 and composed of ice maker unit in the freezer and ice
maker driving part of main PWB. Water is supplied to the ice maker cube mould through the solenoid relay for ice valve of
solenoid valve in the machine room by opening valve for the set time. Water supply automatically stops when water supply
time is elapsed. This circuit is to realize the functions such as ice ejection of ice maker cube mould, ice full detection,
leveling, ice making temperature detection, etc. Refer to the temperature detecting circuits of Main PWB for ice making
temperature detection. Ice maker test switch input detection is the same as the door switch input detection circuit of main
PWB.
1. It is to force to operate during operation test, service, and cleaning. The test switch is mounted under the automatic ice
maker. The test function starts when the test switch is pressed for more than 0.5 second.
2. Test button does not work during ice ejection and water supply. It works when it is in the horizontal conditions. If cube
mould is full of ice during test function operation, ice ejection control and water supply control do not work.
3. Ice ejection carries out irrespect of ice formation in the ice making tray if test switch is pressed for more than 0.5 second.
Water shall be splashed if test switch is pressed before the water in the mould is completely frozen. Water shall be
supplied while the mould returns to the horizontal conditions after ice ejection. Therefore the problems of ice ejection,
leveling, and water supply can be checked by test switch. When test function performs normally, buzzer sounds and
water supply shall carry out. Check it for repair if buzzer does not sound.
4. When water supply is completed, normal cycle works: Ice Making Ice Ejection Level Return Water Supply.
5. If ice maker stop switch is set to ON, normal cycle operates: Ice Making Ice Ejection Level Return Water Supply.
If it is set to OFF, ice making conducts but ice ejection, level return, and water supply do not work.

For discharging the refrigerant R600a,
break the narrow portion of tube extension
by hand or with a pipe cutter as shown in
Figure.
Leave if for 30~60min in outside to
stabilize the pressure with ambient.
Check the pressure by piercing the dryer
part with pierching pliers. If the refrigerant
is not completely discharged, let the
refrigerator alone for more 30min in

5. Leakage
Test
After you completely recharge the refrigerant (R600a), perform the leakage test by
using a portable leakage detector or soapy water.
Test the low pressure (suction) parts in compressor off time and high pressure
parts in compressor on time.
If the leakages are found, restart from the refrigerant (R600a) discharging process
and repairs defects of leaks.
6. Cycle Check
After the leakage test, check the temperature of each parts of the cycle.
Check with hands if the CONDENSER and the case (HOT-LINE pipe) that is
contacted to the door gasket are warm.
Confirm that frost is uniform distributed on the surface of the EVAPORATOR.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
4. HOW TO DEAL WITH CLAIMS
4-1. Sound
Problems
"Whizz" sounds
"Click" sounds
"Clunk" sound
Explain that it comes from the compressor when the refrigerator starts.
When the refrigerator operates, the piston and motor in the compressor rotate
at 3600RPM. This sound is caused by the vibration of motor and piston when
they start and finish their operation. This phenomena can be compared with that
of cars. When the car engine ignites and starts to rotate, the loud sound
becomes gradually quiet. When the engine stops, it stops with vibration.
Vibration sound
Check the sound whether it comes from the pipes vibration and friction.
Insert rubber or leave a space between pipes to avoid the noise.
Fix the fan blade if the noise is due to the collision of fan and shroud.
Fix the drip tray if it is loosened.
Sound depends on the installation location.
Sound becomes louder if the refrigerator is installed on a wooden floor or near a
wooden wall. Move it to the another location.
If the refrigerator is not leveled properly, a small vibration can make a loud
sound. Please adjust the level of the refrigerator.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Problems
"Click" sounds
Explain the principles of ice supply and procedure of crushed ice making in a
dispenser.
When ice cube button is pressed, ice stored in the ice bank is moved by a Helix
Pusher and dispensed. If crushed ice button is pressed, the cube ice is
crushed. When this happens, ice crushing and hitting ice bank sounds are
heard.

When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, the freezer
compartment door moves up and down.
When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, fresh air comes into
the freezer compartment and moves up and down the freezer compartment
door.
Door opens too easily.
There is a magnet in the gasket rubber so that it is ok. if door is securely closed
without a gap. It can be open easily if the foods in the refrigerator or freezer
compartments hold the door open.
A door does not close properly.
If the rear side of the refrigerator is raised higher than front side, door shall not
be easily closed. Adjust the level of refrigerator with levelling screws.
