Troubleshooting

No refrigeration, not cold
enough, too cold
There's unusual noise in
the refrigerator
In summer, due to high ambient temperature, the refrigerator eliminates heat slowly, leading to
the working hours of the compressor too long.
Users are recommended to set the refrigerating temperature to "MIN".
In winter, the ambient temperature is low and has a small difference with the temperature
within the refrigerator, and then the refrigerating compartment will not be cold enough, which
is normal.
Users are recommended to set the refrigerating temperature to "MAX".
The refrigerator does
not work, does not
refrigerate
The refrigerator is not
cold enough
Long-running of the
refrigerator
The refrigerating
compartment is too
cold, and food is frozen
The refrigerator is not on
a flat place
Sound of airflow or
gurgling sound of water
flow
Slight "hum" sound
"Click", "bubble" sound
Cracking sound or the
"pop" sound
– The plug hasn't been plugged properly.
– No power, power outlet failure.
– The refrigerator powered off during running, and
powered on again within 5 minutes
– The refrigerator door hasn't been closed properly.
– The refrigerator is next to heat sources or exposed
to direct sunlight.
– Poor ventilation around the refrigerator, and slow
heat elimination.
– The refrigerator door has been opened too
frequently; the door hasn't been closed properly.
– Poor ventilation outside the refrigerator, and slow
heat elimination of the refrigerator.
– Place a large amount of food into the refrigerator
at one time; food is stacked too close, affecting air
circulation.
– The refrigerating temperature is too low, users are
recommended to adjust the temperature to a higher
degree.
– The food stored contacts with the cold source of
the rear wall of the refrigerating compartment.
– If the refrigerator is placed a little uneven, the running
noise will increase; the level of the refrigerator can
be adjusted by rotating the adjuster at the bottom of
the refrigerator
– The temperature inside the refrigerator can be
quickly lowered through the flow of refrigerant in the
pipeline. Refrigerants can be divided into two types,
namely gas and liquid; there may be a slight sound
in the flow process
– The compressor is working, and the sound is slightly
higher when it just starts. High efficient refrigerator
has a slightly higher sound due to the strong
working of the compressor
– When the refrigerator is powered on or powered
off, the start relay and thermal protector and other
electrical components may suddenly produce "click"
and "bubble" sound due to constant pick-up or
disconnection
– When the refrigerator is running, due to temperature
changes, food may produce cracking sound or the
evaporator and pipeline may produce "pop" sound
due to expansion on heating and contraction on
cooling
