INSTRUCTIONS Remove the packaging and place the refrigerator in a suitable place. The refrigerator must be placed in a well-ventilated place. 2. LEVELING The refrigerator is leveled using the front feet. The refrigerator must be installed with a slope from front to back relative to the support. 200mm 200mm200mm 220V~240V - 50Hz Normal Min Off Max GROUNDING ENABLE Use the electrical outlet with the stirrup pins for grounding. DEFROST BUTTON Before loading, let the refrigerator operate for 24 hours in normal mode. Using the Refrigerator Temperature Controller A specially designed handle gives you the ability to control the temperature inside the refrigerator. Defrosting According to the laws of physics, moisture in the air condenses on cold surfaces. This leads to the constant formation of frost on the surfaces of the refrigerator and the cooling of the fresh food compartment. These frost deposits reduce the cooling effect, thus reducing efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to defrost regularly to maintain optimal operating conditions. * The water in the evaporation tray evaporates on its own when defrosting is carried out no more than once every 2 days. However, under different usage conditions, it is advisable to check the evaporation pan from time to time and remove water if there is any. Please ensure that the evaporation pan is in the correct position by pushing it all the way. Otherwise, water may get inside the refrigerator during defrosting. *Manual Defrost: However, on some models, in the event of a defrost or power failure, water will flow into the evaporator pan and may displace existing water from the evaporator pan. TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT Normal Min Off Max DEFROST BUTTON DEFROST INDICATOR Note: Press the defrost button every 2 days / if frost reaches the defrost indicator. MAKING ICE Fill the ice reservoir with water and place in a freezer.

Storing Food Always wait until food has cooled to room temperature. Never place hot food in the refrigerator or freezer compartment. This may cause damage to other products and loss of power. When storing food, do not forget about the lid. This will prevent moisture evaporation and preserve the taste and nutritional properties of the food. Avoid opening refrigerator doors frequently. Frequently opening the doors allows warm air to enter the refrigerator, causing the temperature to rise, leading to loss of electricity and possible food spoilage. Do not block the ventilation openings with food. Uniform circulation of cold air ensures the same temperature inside the refrigerator. To make temperature adjustment easier, do not hold food near the temperature control knob. Do not overload the shelves on the doors, as this may cause the door to not close properly. Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment because they may burst when frozen. Do not re-freeze thawed food. At the same time, they lose their taste and nutritional properties. Note If the refrigerator is located in a warm, damp place and the door is opened frequently, or if there are a lot of vegetables stored in the refrigerator, moisture may form inside the refrigerator and will not affect performance. Remove moisture with a dry, clean cloth. 22 Food Storage Tips Removing / Installing the Freezer Drawer · To ensure good air circulation in the unit, insert the freezer drawers as far as they will go. · When storing a large amount of food in the freezer compartment, the middle drawer can be removed from the appliance and the food can be stored directly on top of the food placed in the bottom drawer. · To remove any of the freezer drawers, do the following: 1) Pull the drawer out as far as it will go; 2) Lift it at the front and pull it towards you to remove it. 2 1 · To install any of the drawers back into the freezer compartment, follow the same steps in reverse order: 3) Place the drawer on the rails at an angle of 45°; 4) Lower the front of the drawer parallel to the rails. 5) Push the drawer in as far as it will go. In this case, care should be taken to ensure that there is no distortion. 4 3 Caution 23 5 Do not use excessive force or brute force when operating drawers and shelves - this may damage the refrigerator! Care and maintenance General A power failure of 1~2 hours without power will not cause any harm to the products. Try to open the refrigerator door less often. When moving out Remove all food and other items from the refrigerator, securely fix the internal parts with adhesive tape. Before transportation, tighten the adjusting screws until they stop. Otherwise, they may scratch the floor or interfere with the movement of the refrigerator. Anti-condensation pipe An anti-condensation pipe runs around the front of the refrigerator and in the partition between the refrigerator and freezer compartments, which heats up during the operation of the compressor. Anti-condensation It prevents the tube from forming condensation. Immediately after installation, or if the room temperature is high, the refrigerator may become warm. This is completely normal. Features of the refrigerator's operation Caution As a result of thermal deformations of the refrigerator's components, crackling sounds may be heard. The characteristic sounds of turning on the thermostat and compressor are normal sounds that occur when the electrical equipment of the device operates. The refrigerant circulating inside the cooling system may gurgle quietly even when the compressor is not running. Don't worry, this is completely normal. During operation of the refrigerator, the following may be heard: - clicks of the temperature sensor-relay; - the murmur of refrigerant circulating through the pipes of the refrigeration system; - slight cracking due to thermal deformation of materials. These sounds are not associated with any defect and are functional in nature. 24 Care and Maintenance Replacing the Lamp 1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. 2. Remove the shelves from the refrigerator compartment. 3. To remove the lamp cover, insert a flathead screwdriver under the cover and pull the cover out. 4. Turn the lamp counterclockwise. 5.

Storing Food Always allow hot food to cool to room temperature. Never put hot food into refrigerator and freezer chambers. It could spoil other food, and lead to higher electricity loss. When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food keep its taste and nutrients. Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps refrigerator-freezer temperature even. Do not open the door frequently. Frequently opening the doors warms up temperature in the chambers which leads to spoil other products & electricity loss. To adjust the temperature control easily, do not storefood near the temperature control dial. Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this maystop the door from fully closing.

Refrigerators simply not replaceable household. Without them, it is impossible to imagine any home where it is necessary to store food. The choice of this household item should be approached wisely.

Today, there is a huge selection of refrigerators. They differ in their dimensions, energy consumption class, number of cameras and other characteristics. The price, as is known, depends on a large number of such criteria.

Select a device based on your needs. If you have a large family or need to store a lot of food at once, choose a large two-chamber or three-chamber refrigerator.

In short, the size, dimensions and characteristics of the device depend entirely on your needs. The main thing is to use it correctly and follow the instructions.

LG No Frost refrigerators are famous for their high quality and durability. The instruction manual will help you learn about all the functions and its additional capabilities.

All files are downloaded quickly, you should carefully read about all its functions and other characteristics.

In addition, you can find the manual for the LG No-frost refrigerator, which is stored on ours. Use your appliances wisely, always read the manuals for household appliances, and they will serve you for many years.

We hope that our manuals helped resolve your issues during the operation of your device.

The LV No Frost refrigerator is one of the best units with a similar operating system. The company has been known in the household appliances market for a long time, and their refrigerators with the No Frost system are famous for their ideal performance. In this article we will talk about the operating features of such units and proper care for them.

What type of refrigerator defrost system is there?

No Frost literally means “no frost”. That is, during the entire operation of the device, snow deposits and ice do not form on the inner walls of the refrigerator. Therefore, such a defrosting option as for a classic refrigerator is simply not needed for such a device. Why is this happening? It's all about the operation of the unit itself.

Manufacturers of refrigeration appliances offer models with two types of defrosting: drip or weeping and windy or No Frost. How profitable will it be to buy an LV No Frost refrigerator?

Drip defrost

With this defrosting system, the flat evaporator, which cools the rear wall of the chamber, is located on its rear side. When the compressor operates, frost forms on this part of the chamber. The ice melts during breaks between freezing cycles, and the water flows outside the chamber through special grooves into a container located near the warm compressor. When exposed to warm air, it evaporates. Refrigerators familiar to most people have this type of defrosting.

Windy defrost

No Frost defrosting is based on air circulation inside the chamber. This is done thanks to a special built-in fan, which promotes uniform movement of cold air. An evaporator is built into the housing behind the rear wall outside the chamber. It is constantly blown with air, which is supplied by a fan through air channels. The moisture generated during operation of the unit settles on the cold surface. During breaks between compressor operation, the frost thaws and evaporates with the help of a low-power heater. After this, the cycle repeats again.

Important! Manufacturers in eastern countries, such as Japan and Korea, equip both chambers of a household appliance with a wind defrosting system: freezer and refrigerator. This is explained by the maritime climate of Southeast Asia, because such a system is simply ideal for working in conditions with high air humidity.

European manufacturers produce refrigerators, both with full No Frost and partial. That is, only the freezer has windy defrosting, and the refrigeration compartment is equipped with a drip system.

Advantages of LV refrigerators with the No Frost system

What are the main advantages of such units? Is it worth replacing your usual appliance with an LGI No Frost refrigerator? - The instruction manual will help you understand this.

Let's consider the main advantages of equipment with a wind defrosting system:

• Such refrigerators have practically no ice inside both compartments, which contributes to a significant increase in usable volume.
• The walls of the chambers are less humid due to the operation of the fans, which reduces the risk of growth and development of harmful microorganisms.
• Caring for such devices is easier than for drip-type refrigerators.
• After loading a new batch of products into the unit, a uniform temperature inside the chamber is restored very quickly. At the same time, the packages do not freeze to each other.
• For a longer preservation of the freshness of products, many refrigerators have special compartments with maintaining a temperature of about 0C in them, the so-called FreshZone.
• If the system breaks down, the device does not require shutdown. He will continue to perform his function until the master arrives.

Disadvantages of refrigerators with the No Frost system

Like any other technique, devices with such a defrosting system have their drawbacks:

• Due to the constant air flow, the food in the refrigerator dries quickly enough. This problem is solved by wrapping products in film or placing them in containers.
• The system itself hides quite a lot of space - about 20 liters per camera.
• Inexpensive refrigerators with such a system are characterized by additional fan noise. But now it is rare to find a model with this drawback.
• This system increases the cost of the refrigerator. Therefore, No Frost type devices are more expensive than drip units.

Important! It must be understood that the system in no way affects the quality of freezing and storage of products, it is designed to facilitate the care of the unit. Therefore, whether your convenience is worth the extra cash costs is up to you.

Please read the following instructions before servicing the refrigerator.

1. Check the insulation resistance of the device.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains before servicing to prevent electric shock.
3. Whenever testing is performed while the power is on, wear rubber gloves to avoid electric shock.
4. When using any instrument, check that it is suitable for measuring current, voltage and power.
5. Do not touch metal items in the freezer with wet hands. This may cause frostbite.
6. Make sure that water does not come into contact with electrical components from mechanical parts.
7. When checking the bottom section of the refrigerator with the top door open, move carefully to avoid hitting the top door.
8. When it is necessary to tilt the appliance, remove any materials from the shelves and the shelves themselves, especially glass ones.
9. When servicing the evaporator, wear cotton gloves. This is necessary to prevent injury from sharp edges.
10. Carry out repairs to the refrigeration circuit at a specialized service center. Gas inside the circuit may pollute the environment.

Test the refrigerator by connecting it to the electrical outlet before refueling. It is necessary to establish the operability of the motor-compressor and immediately identify defects in the entire system. If defects are found, possible residual R134a refrigerant is removed by breaking the end of the tube in a narrow place. ( Rice. 1)

Replace the filter and any damaged components. Unsolder and remove a piece of the remaining tube and then solder the tube with the Hansen coupling in the same place. ( Rice. 2)

The soldering operation must be carried out with the valve open so that flux vapor can escape freely. The soldering must be without cavities between the two tubes; it must be taken into account that during the heating process the soldering point expands. The tube is equipped with a male Hansen coupling and is connected to the vacuum pump tube. ( Rice. 3)

Air begins to be pumped out of the system after the pump starts. The cooling system must be under vacuum until the vacuum pressure gauge reads (0 absolute, -1 atm., -760 mm Hg), in any case it is advisable for the pump to run for approximately 30 minutes. ( Rice. 3)

If a leak is detected, it is necessary to stop the vacuum pump and add a small amount of freon to the system; if a vacuum cannot be obtained (the pressure gauge cannot drop to -1 atmosphere), start the refrigeration unit and find the leak using a leak detector. If the soldering is defective, when the valve is opened, the normal external pressure inside the circuit is not restored. This happens because solder residue is sucked into the tube and blocks it; the pressure must be equalized when the valve opens.

Once evacuation is complete, add the required number of grams of R134a to the refrigeration circuit. Remember that each system must be charged with the exact amount of R134a within a tolerance of ±5 grams. ( Rice. 4)

Before performing this operation (if the vacuum pump and charge cylinder are connected), make sure that the valve in front of the vacuum pump is closed to preserve the freon when added to the system. ( Rice. 5)

Also, check the graduated scale on the cylinder for the amount of R134a that will be added, for example, if we have 750 grams of Freon in the cylinder and need to add 165 grams to the circuit, this result will be achieved when the R-134a has dropped to 585 grams. monitoring this using an indicator. Do this after selecting the appropriate scale for the gas pressure, the gas pressure is indicated by the pressure gauge on the top of the column.

To allow R134a to enter the system, open the valve at the base of the cylinder connected to the charging tube. Freon cannot be added to the system all at once, because this can lead to blocking of the motor-compressor. After adding about 20-30 g, you must immediately close the feed.

The pressure rises and the compressor motor sucks in gas and the pressure drops again. The control valve is opened again until filling is reached. required quantity R134a. When the system is operating, the inlet pressure should be stabilized between 0.30 and 0.6 atmospheres.

7. Setup

1. COMPRESSOR

1) Description

The compressor sucks vapors from the evaporator at low temperature and pressure. It is compressed and forced under high pressure into the condenser, where cooling and condensation occurs. A compressor is needed to circulate the refrigerant.

2) Composition

The compressor consists of a gas compression mechanism, a compressor motor, starting equipment and compressor protection. The starting device (PTC-Starter) and the overload protection relay (Protector (OLP)) are located outside the compressor. Since the compressor is made of precision components with 1/1000mm precision machining, it is sealed in production to be free from dust and moisture. Make compressor repairs with care.

3) Note!

(1) Be careful not to overvoltage or overcurrent the appliance.

(2) Protect the compressor from shock

If you apply excessive force or impact (fall or careless handling), breakage and operation noise may occur.

(3) Use the appropriate electrical components designed for this compressor.

(4) Pay attention to compressor storage.

If the compressor gets wet in the rain and rust gets into the connector, the result may be poor performance and poor contact.

(5) Be careful not to allow dust, moisture or flux to enter the compressor when replacing. Dust, moisture, and solder residues inside the cylinders can cause noise when passing through the valves.

2. PTC-Starter (starter)

1) Description of PTC-Starter

(1) PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) is a non-contact semiconductor trigger that uses BaTiO 3 based ceramic material.

(2) The higher the temperature, the higher the resistance value becomes. These capabilities are used as a starting device for the engine.

2) PTC-Starter function

(1) The PTC is included with the hermetic compressor and is used for starting.

(2) The refrigerator compressor is a single-phase asynchronous motor. For normal operation single-phase asynchronous motor, when starting, the current must go through the main and starting windings. After the engine accelerates, the current in the starting winding is turned off. PTC features make this possible. Thus, PTC is used as a motor starting device.

4) Engine restart and PTC cooling

(1) To restart after power off during normal motor, unplug the power cord for 5 min. to equalize the pressure in the cooling and PTC cooling cycle.

(2) During normal operation of the engine compressor, PTC elements generate heat continuously. Thus, if the PTC is not cooled down for a while after the motor is switched off, it will not be able to work again.

5) Interaction between PTC-Starter and OLP (protection)

(1) If the power is turned off while the compressor is running and the power is turned on before the PTC cools down (momentary shutdown within 2 minutes or reconnection of the plug), the PTC is not cooled down and the resistance is high. As a result, current cannot flow in the starting winding and the motor cannot start. In this case, OLP is triggered due to the increased current of the main coil.

(2) The OLP turns off the power for 3-5 minutes, the PTC cools down and the compressor motor returns to normal operation. If the OLP does not work, then the PTC does not cool, the engine compressor overheats, which causes a short circuit. Therefore, using a working OLP is mandatory.

6) Please pay attention to the use of PTC-Starter

(1) Be careful to avoid overvoltage and overcurrent.

(2) Protect your device from shocks

Do not use excessive force or hit.

(3) Store separately from any liquids.

If liquid such as gasoline or water gets into the PTC, it may break due to the deterioration of the insulation of the PTC materials.

(4) Do not repair the PTC.

Do not disassemble the PTC housing. If the outer PTC housing is damaged, the resistance changes and may cause poor starting and compressor damage.

(5) Use only original PTC.

3. OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTION)

1) Description of OLP

(1) The OLP (Overload Protection) device is included with the compressor and protects the motor from short circuit current and excessive temperature rise in the compressor motor.

(2) When the compressor motor is overloaded, the bimetallic strip, when heated by the heater inside the OLP, opens the contacts and protects the motor by cutting off the current that exceeds the permissible current for the compressor motor.

2) OLP function

(1) The OLP is connected to the compressor circuits and is used to protect the compressor windings from overheating.

(2) Do not turn the OLP adjustment screw in any way.

(2) The freezer compartment is maintained at approximately -13°C.

(3) Defrosting and fan control are the same as in normal operation.

(4) If the QUICK FREEZE button is pressed while the VACATION function is running, the function will be cancelled.

(5) If the mains power is turned off and on while the VACATION function is running, the VACATION function will be cancelled.

4. DOOR OPEN ALARM

(1) When the refrigerator door is opened and does not close after 1 minute, the notification buzzer will sound.

(2) First, the beep sounds three times at 0.5 second intervals. Then the alarm turns on/off three times, 0.5 seconds each, with an interval of 30 seconds.

(3) If the refrigerator door is closed during the alarm, the alarm will be reset.

5. BEEP WHEN PRESSING BUTTONS

(1) When you press the buttons (FREEZE TEMP, QUICK FREEZE, VACATION) on the control panel, a sound signal “DING ~ ~ DON” is heard (see checking the operation of the sound signal)

6. DEFROSTING

(1) If the total compressor operating time exceeds 7 hours, the defrost heater is switched on.

(2) The first defrosting occurs 4 hours (total compressor operating time) after the power has been turned on.

(3) If the defrost sensor reads more than 7°C during a defrost operation, the defrost ends, the defrost heater pauses, and normal freeze operation starts after 7 minutes. But, if the defrost sensor does not reach 7°C after 2 hours of operation of the defrost heater, a defrost error signal is generated. (See error display function)

(4) If the defrost sensor is short-circuited or open, defrosting will not occur.

7. ORDER OF OPERATION OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

To avoid noise and damage to electrical components such as the compressor, defrost heater and fan motor, the compressor motor operates in the following order.

8. SELF-DIAGNOSTICS

(1) The function makes it easier to troubleshoot if problems occur in the refrigerator.

(2) If a malfunction occurs, the function control buttons do not work.

(3) If the causes of the error have disappeared when the error code is displayed, the refrigerator goes into normal operation (RESET).

(4) The FREEZE TEMP LEDs on the top cover are used to represent the error code. If an error occurs, all other indicators except the error code LEDs are turned off.

№	Name	Error indication F1 F2 F3 F4	Description	Operation when an error occurs
				Compressor	Fan	Defrosting heating element
1	The t sensor in the refrigerator is faulty (FREEZER SENSOR)		The t sensor in the refrigerator is broken or shorted	15 min ON/ 15 min OFF
2	Defrost sensor faulty		Defrost sensor broken or shorted			No defrost
3	The defrost function does not work correctly		Defrosting heating element, fuse is broken or disconnected (Indication appears 4 hours after the malfunction occurs)
4	Temperature sensor faulty Wednesdays (RT-SENSOR)	See note. No. 1	Temperature sensor environment is broken or shorted

*Note 1) If after pressing the QUICK FREEZE and FREEZE TEMP buttons together, after one second the following occurs:

9. FUNCTIONAL TEST

(1) A functional test allows you to check the functionality of printed circuit boards, a refrigerator, and localize the fault.

(2) The test mode switch is located on the refrigerator control module.

The functional test is automatically disabled 2 hours after starting, regardless of the test mode.

(3) If the buttons are on top panel press in test mode, the functions will not work, and only the signal will sound "Ding - dong ~ ~"

(4) After finishing the test mode, you need to unplug the power cord and turn it on again (RESET).

(5) If an error occurs during the test mode, the function test stops and the display LEDs show the ERROR CODE.

(6) If the test mode switch is activated while an error code is displayed, the function test will not work.

Checking LED operation: Press the QUICK FREEZE and FREEZE TEMP buttons simultaneously. After 1 second, all display LEDs light up simultaneously. If you release the buttons, it returns to the previous state.

Description of the components

Note: Option B is only used in Europe.

The secondary winding of the transformer is connected to electrical circuits that provide power to the control relays and actuators (12V direct current) and control module power supply (MICOM and IC, 5 VDC). The voltage in each part is as follows.

VA1 is an element for overvoltage and interference protection. When voltage greater than 385V is applied, a fuse (130°C cut-off, optional) disconnects the primary winding of the transformer so that the elements on the secondary side of the transformer are protected.

The clock generation circuit provides internal local elements to IC1 for transmitting and receiving information and for calculating the main operating time. Only use the original OSC 1 resonator. Because if replaced, the calculated time in IC1 will change or IC1 will not be able to work.

All internal elements The MICOM processor (IC1) returns to its original state after the MICOM power is temporarily turned off and power is initially applied. As a result, all functions operate in accordance with the original state. During the initial "LOW" power supply period, voltage is applied to the RESET, MICOM pin for a short fixed time. The RESET pin is supplied with 5V during startup operation.

4. OPERATION OF START AND SOUND SIGNAL CIRCUIT, DOOR OPEN CONTROL CIRCUIT.

*NOTE: If you are replacing a DOOR S/W-R type (door switch), you must refer to the part number description. Because this type of door switch S/WR is not for MICOM MODELS, and has reverse logic of contacts [A], [B] DOOR S/W-R.

Even if the LAMP-R (lamp) works normally ON/OFF when opening/closing, but the processor failed to detect through the wires [ A], [IN] DOOR-R open or closed state, DOOR S/W-R switch is faulty.

● Temperature compensation table adjusts the resistance value. (temperature difference compared to the current one)

For example: If the compensation resistance of the freezer is changed from 10 kΩ (current resistance) to 18 kΩ (replaced resistance), the temperature in the freezer increases by +2 °C.

● AMBIENT TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION.

● This circuit is designed to input the required temperature compensation value into the processor in order to adjust the freezer temperature, which is different in each model.
