Hi guys
I have a problem with my fridge. It does start and works for perhaps one full cycle (20 minutes) and after it stops doesn't start/work back again. The fridge icon on the main controller board start flashing and stays like that.
It could be the thermostat? Has anyone had the same problem?

Does the fan work ?

Hi Toni,

could be a defect of the compressor or the fuse:

Here you can find a self analysis program for the fridge:

Let us know, if you solved the Problem.

Thank you guys for your replys. Well the fridge actually turns on from the main board and works well for I guess one cycle, but after it turns off automatically since it gets the right temperature, doesn't come on again. The icon start flashing and doesn't work.
When the fridge works it draws around 4 to 5 amps, so I presume that it does work well. Like I said once it stops working after one cycle, doesn't start again.
So don't think is the fuse.

Did you check the fridge temperature which you can regulate at the central unit? If it’s warmer than outside the fridge won’t start. Perhaps the temp sensor inside the fridge is not ok - or the ECU of the compressor.

Hi guys.
I really can do with some advice and help.
Well the fridge, can start from the main board and it draws 4.5 amps, so it works normal. After about 15 - 20 minutes, stop working and the fridge sign in the main switch start flashing. After turning off the fridge and leaving it off for few hours, if I try to start it again it does the same thing, works for 15-20 minutes and stops.
Thank you for any advice and information.

Hi Toni,

did you check the main fuse under the compressor?
Is your fan running good so it doesn’t get too hot there?
If everything is ok I‘m afraid the ECU has a mistake and you‘ll need professional assistance.
