Check if the fuse has been burnt.
Check if the power supply is malfunctioned.
Switching on/off the fridge frequently may cause start delay of the compressor.
Refrigerator compartments are too warm| The door is opened frequently.
A large amount of warm or hot food was stored recently. Wait for

the refrigerator to reach its selected temperature.

The refrigerator has been disconnected for a period of time.
Food is frozen| The temperature was set too low, please increase the temperature.
There is a “water flow” noise from inside the fridge| It’s a normal phenomenon, caused by the flow of refrigerant.
There are water drops around the refrigerator casing or door gap| It’s 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 H to M or from M to L.

Code F2 displayed| Possible cause: condenser fan is overloaded. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F3 displayed| Possible cause: the compressor starts too frequently. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F4 displayed| Possible cause: compressor not kicking in. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F5 displayed| Possible cause: overheating of the compressor & electronics. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F6 displayed| Possible cause: no parameter can be detected by the controller. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F7 or F8 displayed| Possible cause: temperature sensor is faulty . Contact manufacturer for service.
