10. Circuit description
10.1 Power PCB
AC input voltage is lowered by the transformer, then filtered by rectifier diode & LC into DC 12V.
The DC 12V controls the switches of compressor and defroster.
DC12V is changed through adjuster 7805 in to stable DC5V.
DC5V provides the power to the control chip.
The control chip monitors the temperature changes in the refrigerator.
If no power is detected in test, first check whether there is input voltage between the L& N line of
main PCB, if no input voltage(115V), check whether there is power supplied from the socket.
If there is input voltage, put the black probe of multi meter on the bottom of “GND” pin, and put
the red probe on the bottom of “+5v” or “+12v” pins. If “12v” or “5v” is detected, check whether
there is a loose wiring connection.
If there is no “12v” or “5v” it means the main PCB is defective. Replace it with a new one.
