INSTRUCTIONS FOR REVERSING DOOR SWING
This refrigerator allows the owner to change the door swing if desired. The hinging of the doors can be changed
to the opposite side anytime you wish.

When reversing the door swing :

Read the instructions all the way through before starting.
Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.
Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using them in the wrong places.
Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors.

IMPORTANT
Once you begin, do not move the cabinet until door-swing reversal is completed.
These instructions are for changing the hinges from the right side to the left side-if you ever want to change the hinges back
to the right side, follow these same instructions and reverse all references to left and right.
Befor Removing the Doors, empty and Remove all the Door Baskets of both Refrigerator/Freezer Doors, including the Bank
Dairy. Close both doors before removing hinge pins.

Warning Electric Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator before installing. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

Caution :
Do not let either door drop to the floor. Doing so could damage the Door Stop.

1. Inverter Linear Compressor
Check for defect of the inverter linear compressor in following orders:

1) Method to Measure Compressor Winding Resistance

Normal Determination Criteria.
The compressor winding resistance can be determined as normal if resistance values show the values as described in
below figure when measuring resistance values of the harness (connected with compressor) to connect.
Connect201(CON201) of the main PWB as shown in below figure.

Defect Determination Criteria

• Check connection status of the Compressor Connection Harness-P(Lead Wire) which is located at the M/C room where
resistance values measured at the CON201 Housing are shown as infinite or several hundred MΩ . Separate connecting
wires of the M/C room (A-point in Figure) and then measure resistance values at the connecting wires again. The
compressor can be determined as normal if resistance values are shown as standard resistance value. Check connection
status of a harness.
Defect at M/C room connection contact or CON201 Housing contact, short-circuit of harness)
• Where resistance values measured at A-point are also shown as infinite or several hundred MΩ , disassemble a cover PTC
of the compressor terminal and check the terminal connecting status at the B-point in Figure.
• Where there is no failure in the wiring status and resistance values are shown as infinite or several hundred MΩ , it may be
determined as defect of compressor.
• Since if there is no failure in resistance values of the compressor, it may be defective Main PWB, replace the Main PCB
and check for normal operation of the compressor.
• When determining any defect through resistance measuring, it can be determined as normal if resistance values show as
descried in the below figure by measuring ① power and ③ common terminal or ② full power and ③ common terminal.
However, resistance values are measured when measuring ① power and ② full but measuring is meaningless since they
cannot become criteria for determining defect (measuring not required).

Caution
1. Be sure to powering off the refrigerator and measure after several minutes has passed.
2. If not accurately measuring resistance, wrong determination may be guided. (Difference of resistance value of several W
or so may occur.)

2) Method to Determine Defect of Inverter Linear Drive

Determination of Comp Operation

Separate the back cover at the rear of refrigerator and determine for possible operation while touching the compressor with
the hands with insulation gloves worn.
Comp Operation
- Determine possible trip by checking operation status if cold air comes out after opening the doors of the R-Room.
Protective Logic (Trip)
- To protect the compressor from abnormal operation, this logic is used to temporally stop the refrigerator when abnormal
operation occurs and to re-operate it after abnormal signal disappears.

9) Cautions in Heavy Repair Service

Special caution should be taken since fire may occur for welding work since refrigerant may remain as it is at the high
pressure side even after vacuum air-discharge in relation with cycle clogging. Take power cords out and remove power
between 6sec - 12sec after powering on in order to open both sides of 3way valve in the step of refrigerant recovery. If both
sides of 3way valve will not be opened, fire may occur during welding work since refrigerant may remain during the cycle. To
prevent moisture clogging, always replace dryer together during heavy repair of refrigerator.

After s ending a s ignal to the fan, the MIC O M checks the B LDC fan motor’s lock s tatus . If there is no
feedback s ignal from the B LDC fan, the fan motor s tops for 10 s econds and then is powered again for 15
s econds . T o determine that there is a fan motor malfunction, this proces s is repeated 5 times . If the fan
motor is determined to be defective, the error code will be s hown continuous ly in the dis play.
At this point, there is no further check of the fan motor.

At this point, the proces s will be repeated until the fan motor operates normally. If normal operation is
achieved, the error dis play is eras ed and the MIC OM is res et automatically.
