Refrigerator compartments are too warm|

• The door is opened frequently.
• A large amount of warm or hot food was stored recently.
• The refrigerator has been disconnected for a long time.

Food is frozen|

• The temperature was set too low.

There is “water flow” noise from inside the refrigerator|

• It’s a normal phenomenon, caused by the flow of refrigerant.

There are waterdrops around the refrigerator casing or door gap|

• Its a normal phenomenon, the moisture will condense to water when it touches a cold surface of the refrigerator.

The compressor is slightly noisy when starting|

• It’s a normal phenomenon, the noise will be reduced after the compressor works stably.

Code Fl displayed|

• Possible cause: low voltage to fridge. Adjust the battery protection from High to Medium or from Medium to Low.

Code F2 displayed|

• Possible cause: condenser fan is overloaded.Disconnect power to fridge for 5 minutes & re-start.If the code shows again, contact manufacturer for service.

Code F3 displayed|

• Possible cause: the compressor starts too frequently. Disconnect power to fridge for 5 minutes & re-start. If the code shows again, contact manufacturer for service.

Code F4 displayed|

• Possible cause: compressor not kicking in.Disconnect power to fridge for 5 minutes & re-start.If the code shows again, contact manufacturer for service.

Code FS displayed|

• Possible cause: overheating of the compressor & electronics. Disconnect power to fridge for 5 minutes & re-start. If the code shows again, contact manufacturer for service.

Code F6 displayed|

• Possible cause: no parameter can be detected by the controller. Disconnect power to fridge for 5 minutes & re-start.If the code shows again, contact manufacturer for service.

Code FT or F8 displayed|

• Possible cause: temperature sensor is faulty. Contact manufacturer for service.

• For models with FSAK-002 detachable battery, if code Fl displayed, unplug or turn off the battery, or connect to DC12/24V/AC100-240V(using the adapter) power supply to power the compressor and battery in time to avoid long-term micro-current draining the battery.

• Due to product improvement, the technical information might be different from actual information, please refer to the rating label on the product.
