1. PREVENTIVE ACTIONS
1-1 Safety Precautions
Only qualified technicians who have full command and knowledge of the
cooling system and safety inspection are allowed to deliver the maintenance
service as specified on the manual.

Please be sure to keep the work place ventilated and safe as this product
adopts the combustible and explosive R600a refrigerant.
Prior to repair, please pull the plug out of the socket from the wall to disconnect the
power to hold the human and wealth harmless.
Do not make any by-pass or circuit change attempt without manufacturer's prior
suggestion.
No prelonged cable or double terminal board is recommended.
For human safety, this procut must be properly earthed. But phone lines and gas
pipes are not recommended for earthing.

1-2 Preparations Before Maintenance

1-2-1.Direct plug in-and-out is recommended when replacing the relay that attaches to
the compactor lead terminal. When inserting and pulling the plug, relay wobbling
will more likely destroy the compactor terminals or relay.
1-2-2.Restart is not allowed within 5 minutes after power off. Immediate plug in-and-out
will disable the restart.

7. WORKING PRINCIPLE & TEST METHOD ON KEY PARTS

7-1 Compressor
Inspection method

Operating principle
The compressor motor, mounted directly to the
compressor and located inside a sealed steel
case, has two windings.
One is a start winding and the other a run winding.
The windings are connected together internally,
forming a common connection. A lead is connected
to each of the windings, and to the common
connection. These three leads are then connected
to glass-sealed terminals that extend through the
compressor case.
The terminals are clustered in al trangle ( pyramid )
pattern and, reading from left to right, are identified:
Start, Common and Run.

1) Measure the resistance of each winding of the

compressor.
a. Disconnect the power cord.
b. Remove the relay from the compressor.
C. Measure the resistance of each winding.
A. The highest resistance value is the measurement of
the "start" and "run" terminals whose windings are
connected in series.
B. The lowest resistance value is the measurement of
the "run" and "common" terminals.
C. The mid-level resistance
value is the measururement
of the "start" and "common"
terminals.
B + C = A
2) Measure each terminal and
ground with the ohmmetor
set to the highest range.
If a winding is found to be
either open or shorted to
ground, the compressor
has failed.

Compressor Windings

7-2 Overload protector

Operating principle
The overload protects the compressor motor by
responding to both the temperature and current.
The overload protector is basically made up of
a set of the contacts normally closed and the
bimetal element.
The overload, mounted externally and in direct
contact with the compressor case, is connected
in series with both windings of the motor.
If the motor fails to start for any reason, the heavy
locked rotor current will cause the bimetal element
to heat which then quickly flex, snapping the
contacts open and interruption current flow through
the motor.
Likewise, if the motor overheate to an unsefe leval,
the comination of current and temperature will cause
the bimetal to snap the contacts open, On cooling,
the bimetal flex back and snaps the contacts closed.
The motor will continue to cycle on the overload so
long as the oriqinal reason for tripping persists

Inspection method
1) Check for continuity with ohmmetor.
- If the overlosd is tripped, cheak continuity after
waiting until it has cooled, in the room ambient
before checking.
- Even though the continuity of the overload is
observed it is difficult to confirm that the overload
is operating within the specification limits.
If there is any doubt, replace it with a part with
identical specifications.
: An overload should NEVER be by-passed
in the circuit , not even as a temporary
measure until the proper replacement can
be installed.

7-3 Relay
Inspection method

Operating principle
Unlike to other mechanical apparatus, this solid
relay has neither coils nor flexiable terminals.
The relay is made of a solid wafer situated
between the terminal linked poles. This wafer
will produce low resistance (5~23 ) under
room temperature.

TERMINALS

WAFER
When the compressor is initialized, the current
will run through the Run winding group and the
parralled relay as well as the Start winding group.
In the beginning, the increasing relay resistance
will lessen the current dramtically. The silm
current will keep the relay resistance high and
the relay open .
This relay is called PTC (Positive Temperature
Coefficiency) relay as the resistance will go up
with the increasing temperature.
This solid relay can also be tested by an
ohmmeter. The relay resistance tested under
room temperature must be within the range of
10% of the norminal value indicated on the
specified circuit diagram.

` `

7-4 E-magnetic valve

Inspection method

Operating principle
The bistable two way T-piece e-magnetic
valve is under the control of the pulse
generator that outputs semi-wave DC pulse
power to scan the coils once every 30s~60s
with 4~10 pluse semi-waves.
The e-magnetic will reverse with changing
pluse direction.
Exit 1
Entrance
Exit 2

Connect the appliance to power, press

TEST key on the PCB:
If pressing RF , the gateway is from
Entrance to Exit 2;
If pressing FF , the gateway is from
Entrance to Exit 1.

The AC input voltage will be stepped down by the transformer and be converted into the DC voltage
by the rectifying circuit (D101-104). The 1000F/35V wave filter capacitor will be used to filter out the
residue AC voltage and the manostat 7812 is used to output the steady 12V DC voltage that will be
used as the control voltage of the relay and display. The 12V DC voltage will be regulated by the
manostat 7805 to output the steady 5V voltage, which will be used as the output voltage of the chip
peripheral circuit and various signals (sensor, switch) .
