The solution for digital display code problem:

The testing method of sensor: Using the multimeter with the ohm switch to measure the resistor of sensor, normally at surrounding 25℃ the resistor should be about 2kohm and every with the temperature decreases 1℃ the corresponding resistor value would increase about 45ohm.If the measured value is not within the normal scope, the sensor is bad and needs to repair or change.

ProblemCause
Refrigerator can’t startIs the power cord connecting well?
Is the power voltage too low?
Is the sensor irrational setting?
Is the ambient temperature too low?
Is the circuit on power?
Is there some default in compressor
Is the refrigeration system blocked by ice or dirty, please stop the unit and restart after 10 minutes to see if the compressor can start.
Weak cooling effectsIs there any heat source around the refrigerator?
Is there enough space around the refrigerator for rejection of heat?
Is the setting of the temperature appropriate?
Is there too much food or overheating food in it?
Does there open the door frequently?
Is the door completely closed?
Does the gasket destroyed or distort?
Does the gas leak?
The unit can not stop runningIs there any heat source around the refrigerator?
Is there enough space around the refrigerator for rejection of heat?
Is the setting of the temperature appropriate?
Is there too much food or overheating food in it?
Does there open the door frequently?
Is the door completely closed?
Does the gasket destroyed or distort?
Is the thermostat good operation?
Does the gas leak?
Ice up in the freezing chamberIs the setting of the temperature appropriate?
Is there multi-moisture food and too close to the back wall of the refrigerator?
Is the ambient temperature too low?
Is the electric parts on good condition, specially the thermostat wich will cause the unit non-stopping.
Abnormal noiseIs the refrigerator stably placed?
Does the refrigerator bump other objects?
Whether the internal accessory of the refrigerator is in the right place.
Whether the water plate of compressor is fall from the unit.
Does the tube of the refrigeration system bump each other?
The noise sound likes Water flow inside the refrigerator ,in fact ,it is normal, which is caused both when refrigerator start and shut-down; in addition, frost-dissolving causes this sound, too, which is a normal phenomenon.
There will be a cracking sound in the cabinet ,when the cabinet or cabinet accessory contracting or expanding, this sound will be made, which is normal.
The motor operation sound in the compressor is appears to be louder at night or begin starting. which is a normal phenomenon; also the uneven placing would lead to too much running noise.
There is a peculiar smell in the unitsIs the food with special smell sealed tight?
Does it have long time storing food or degenerated food?
Whether the internal cabinet needs cleaning.
the forefront or the middle cabinet heatsAs fridge Anti-condensation tube is placed here and caused the above phenomenon, which is normal.
Refrigerator’s two sides or the back heatAs condensation tube is placed here and caused the above phenomenon, which is normal.
the cabinet surface condensationAir humidity is too large.

Common Problem and Solutions

ProblemSolutions
Cooling is not enough goodIf some gas leaked unit will work not well. Phenomenon of failureFirst find out the point of leaking on tube, and then sealed it, vacuuming it, finally recharge with Gas. Note: If you find oil on somewhere, it is possible that leakage point is there
First stop unit for several minutes, and then open charging tube, discharge all of gas. Change a new filter, and then recharge gas, finally sealed the system.
