When the cabinet sensor errors happen, the controller will flashing indicate the alarm code E1, with the buzzer doing nothing; close the compressor, when the troubleshooting is over, system will recalculate the compressor delay time. Defrosting stops automatically when the evaporator temperature reaches the defrost When the door-trip alarms, the controller will flashing indicate the alarm code termination temperature or when the defrost time runs out, or can be stopped manually.
