[0055] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for refrigerator fault detection, including:

[0056] S101, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected according to the fault status information of the refrigerator sensor and the abnormal operation status of the compressor.

[0057] S102, the refrigerator determines the refrigerator fault type according to the load power value of the load to be detected and the refrigerator reference power value.

[0058] Wherein, the number of loads to be detected is single or multiple.

[0059] By using the method for refrigerator fault detection provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case of a refrigerator failure, according to the fault status information of the refrigerator sensor and the abnormal operation status of the compressor, first determine the load to be detected that needs to be detected. The load to be detected can be single or multiple. Thus, the loads that are not faulty and do not need to detect power can be initially excluded to improve the fault troubleshooting efficiency. Then, according to the load power value of the load to be detected and the refrigerator reference power value, determine the refrigerator fault type, thereby further screening out the faulty loads to improve the fault troubleshooting efficiency. When the refrigerator fails, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0060] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected according to the fault status information of the refrigerator sensor and the abnormal operation status of the compressor, including: when the abnormal operation status of the compressor is normal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected according to the fault status information of the refrigerator sensor. When the abnormal operation status of the compressor is abnormal, it is determined that the refrigerator fault type is compressor abnormality.

[0061] In this way, according to whether the operating state of the compressor is normal or abnormal, the type of refrigerator fault caused by the compressor can be initially excluded. Thus, it can be initially determined whether the compressor needs to be tested for power. If so, the power of the compressor can be directly tested; if not, the power of the compressor does not need to be tested subsequently. Therefore, when a refrigerator fails, the after-sales maintenance personnel can quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator fault, improving the work efficiency of the after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0062] Specifically, the normal operating state of the compressor includes that the difference between the operating speed of the compressor and the set speed is within the normal range of the speed difference. The abnormal operating state of the compressor includes that the difference between the operating speed of the compressor and the set speed is not within the normal range of the speed difference.

[0063] More specifically, the value range of the normal range of the speed difference is [-10 r / min (revolutions per minute), 10 r / min]. The value range of the set speed is [1000 r / min, 5000 r / min].

[0064] In this way, according to whether the difference between the operating speed of the compressor and the set speed is within the normal range of the speed difference, the type of refrigerator fault caused by the compressor can be initially excluded. Thus, it can be initially determined whether the compressor needs to be tested for power. If so, the power of the compressor can be directly tested; if not, the power of the compressor does not need to be tested subsequently. Therefore, when a refrigerator fails, the after-sales maintenance personnel can quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator fault, improving the work efficiency of the after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0065] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be tested according to the fault status information of the refrigerator sensor, including: the refrigerator determines that the fault status information of the refrigerator sensor is the first type of abnormality or the second type of abnormality. When the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is the first type of abnormality, the refrigerator determines that the corresponding load to be tested is a single load. And / or, when the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is the second type of abnormality, the refrigerator determines that the corresponding load to be tested is multiple loads.

[0066] In this way, if the type of refrigerator fault is not caused by the compressor, first determine whether the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is the first type of abnormality or the second type of abnormality to determine whether the number of corresponding loads to be tested is single or multiple. If the number of loads to be tested is single, only this load needs to be tested subsequently, thus improving the efficiency of fault troubleshooting. If the number of loads to be tested is multiple, only the loads to be tested need to be tested, without testing all loads. Therefore, when a refrigerator fails, the after-sales maintenance personnel can quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator fault, improving the work efficiency of the after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0067] Optionally, the first type of abnormality includes any one or more of the following: abnormal temperature of the refrigerating defrost sensor, abnormal temperature of the freezing defrost sensor, abnormal refrigerating fan, abnormal freezing fan, abnormal cooling fan, abnormal solenoid valve, abnormal compressor speed.

[0068] In this way, the temperature of the refrigerating defrost sensor only reflects the fault status information of the refrigerating defrost heating wire, the temperature of the freezing defrost sensor only reflects the fault status information of the freezing defrost heating wire, and if there are abnormalities in the refrigerating fan, freezing fan, cooling fan, solenoid valve, and compressor speed, they only reflect their own fault status information. Therefore, if the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is the first type of abnormality, the number of loads to be detected is single, and only this load needs to be detected subsequently. Thus, when the refrigerator fails, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0069] Optionally, the second type of abnormality includes any one or more of the following: abnormal temperature of the refrigerating sensor, abnormal temperature of the freezing sensor, abnormal temperature-changing sensor, abnormal ice maker sensor.

[0070] In this way, the temperature of the refrigerating sensor reflects the fault status information of the refrigerating fan, cooling fan, solenoid valve, and compressor, the temperature of the freezing sensor reflects the fault status information of the freezing fan, cooling fan, solenoid valve, and compressor, the temperature-changing sensor reflects the fault status information of the temperature-changing air damper, freezing fan, cooling fan, solenoid valve, and compressor, and the ice maker sensor reflects the fault status information of the freezing fan, cooling fan, solenoid valve, and compressor. Therefore, if the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is the second type of abnormality, the number of loads to be detected is multiple, and only the loads to be detected need to be detected subsequently, without detecting all loads. Thus, when the refrigerator fails, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0071] Optionally, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is a first - type anomaly, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as a single load, including: when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the temperature of the refrigeration defrosting sensor is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the refrigeration defrosting heating wire. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the temperature of the freezing defrosting sensor is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the freezing defrosting heating wire. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the refrigeration fan is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the refrigeration fan. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the freezing fan is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the freezing fan. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the cooling fan is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the cooling fan. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the solenoid valve is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the solenoid valve. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the compressor speed is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the compressor.

[0072] In this way, if the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is a first - type anomaly, the refrigeration defrosting heating wire, the freezing defrosting heating wire, the refrigeration fan, the freezing fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor can be quickly determined as the single load to be detected according to the failure state of the refrigerator sensor, and the single load to be detected can be quickly detected without detecting all loads. Thus, when the refrigerator fails, the after - sales maintenance personnel can quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of the after - sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0073] Optionally, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is a second - type anomaly, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as multiple loads, including: when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the temperature of the refrigeration sensor is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the refrigeration fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the temperature of the freezing sensor is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the freezing fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the variable - temperature sensor is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the variable - temperature air damper, the freezing fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor. And / or, when the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is that the ice - maker sensor is abnormal, the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected as the freezing fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor.

[0074] In this way, if the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is a second - type anomaly, then if the temperature of the refrigerating sensor is abnormal, the loads to be detected are the refrigerating fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor. If the temperature of the freezing sensor is abnormal, the loads to be detected are the freezing fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor. If the temperature of the variable - temperature sensor is abnormal, the loads to be detected are the variable - temperature air damper, the freezing fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor. If the ice - maker sensor is abnormal, the loads to be detected are the freezing fan, the cooling fan, the solenoid valve, and the compressor. Only the loads to be detected need to be detected, without detecting all loads. Thus, when the refrigerator fails, it enables after - sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of after - sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0075] Optionally, the failure - state information of the refrigerator sensor is determined in the following manner: The refrigerator determines the failure - state information of the refrigerator sensor according to the set temperature and / or set duty ratio of the refrigerator sensor.

[0076] In this way, it is beneficial to more accurately determine the failure - state information of the refrigerator sensor.

[0077] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the failure - state information of the refrigerator sensor according to the set temperature and / or set duty ratio of the refrigerator sensor, including: The refrigerator determines that the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is one or more of abnormal temperature of the refrigerating sensor, abnormal temperature of the freezing sensor, abnormal temperature of the variable - temperature sensor, abnormal temperature of the refrigerating defrosting sensor, abnormal temperature of the freezing defrosting sensor, abnormal temperature of the ambient - temperature sensor, and abnormal temperature of the ice - maker sensor according to the difference between the temperature of the refrigerator sensor and the set temperature. And / or, the refrigerator determines that the failure state of the refrigerator sensor is one or more of abnormal refrigerating fan, abnormal freezing fan, and abnormal cooling fan according to the difference between the duty ratio of the refrigerator sensor and the set duty ratio.

[0078] In this way, whether the temperatures of the refrigerating sensor, the freezing sensor, the variable - temperature sensor, the refrigerating defrosting sensor, the freezing defrosting sensor, the ambient - temperature sensor, and the ice - maker sensor are abnormal can be determined by the difference from the set temperature. Whether the duty ratios of the refrigerating fan, the freezing fan, and the cooling fan are abnormal can be determined by the difference from the set duty ratio. This is beneficial to more accurately judge the failure state of the refrigerator sensor. Thus, when the refrigerator fails, it enables after - sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of after - sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0079] Specifically, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as one or more of abnormal temperature of the refrigerating sensor, abnormal temperature of the freezing sensor, abnormal temperature of the variable temperature sensor, abnormal temperature of the refrigerating defrosting sensor, abnormal temperature of the freezing defrosting sensor, abnormal temperature of the ambient temperature sensor, and abnormal temperature of the ice maker sensor according to the difference between the temperature of the refrigerator sensor and the set temperature, including: when the difference between the temperature of the refrigerating sensor and the set refrigerating temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference value, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as abnormal temperature of the refrigerating sensor. And / or, when the difference between the temperature of the freezing sensor and the set freezing temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference value, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as abnormal temperature of the freezing sensor. And / or, when the difference between the temperature of the variable temperature sensor and the set variable temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference value, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as abnormal temperature of the variable temperature sensor. And / or, when the difference between the temperature of the refrigerating defrosting sensor and the set refrigerating defrosting temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference value, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as abnormal temperature of the refrigerating defrosting sensor. And / or, when the difference between the temperature of the freezing defrosting sensor and the set freezing defrosting temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference value, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as abnormal temperature of the freezing defrosting sensor. And / or, when the difference between the temperature of the ambient temperature sensor and the set ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference value, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as abnormal temperature of the ambient temperature sensor. And / or, when the difference between the temperature of the ice maker sensor and the set ice maker temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature difference value, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as abnormal temperature of the ice maker sensor. More specifically, the value range of the set temperature is [-40°C, 40°C], and the value range of the set temperature difference value is [-1°C, 1°C].

[0080] In this way, whether the temperatures of the refrigerating sensor, the freezing sensor, the variable temperature sensor, the refrigerating defrosting sensor, the freezing defrosting sensor, the ambient temperature sensor, and the ice maker sensor are abnormal can be determined by whether the difference from the corresponding set temperature is within a certain range. This is beneficial for more accurately judging the fault status of the refrigerator sensor. Thus, when the refrigerator breaks down, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator fault, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0081] Specifically, the refrigerator determines the fault status of the refrigerator sensor as one or more of abnormal refrigerating fan, abnormal freezing fan, and abnormal cooling fan according to the difference between the duty cycle of the refrigerator sensor and the set duty cycle, including: when the difference between the duty cycle of the refrigerating fan sensor and the set duty cycle of the refrigerating fan is greater than or equal to the set duty cycle difference, the refrigerator determines that the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is abnormal refrigerating fan. And / or, when the difference between the duty cycle of the freezing fan sensor and the set duty cycle of the freezing fan is greater than or equal to the set duty cycle difference, the refrigerator determines that the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is abnormal freezing fan. And / or, when the difference between the duty cycle of the cooling fan sensor and the set duty cycle of the cooling fan is greater than or equal to the set duty cycle difference, the refrigerator determines that the fault status of the refrigerator sensor is abnormal cooling fan. More specifically, the value range of the set duty cycle is [0, 100%]. The value of the set duty cycle difference can be [-1%, 1%].

[0082] In this way, whether the duty cycles of the refrigerating fan, freezing fan, and cooling fan are abnormal can be determined by the differences from the corresponding set duty cycles. This is conducive to more accurately judging the fault status of the refrigerator sensor. Thus, when the refrigerator breaks down, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator fault, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0083] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the refrigerator fault type according to the load power value of the load to be detected and the refrigerator reference power value, including: the refrigerator determines the refrigerator reference power value. The refrigerator determines the load power value of the load to be detected according to the refrigerator reference power value. The refrigerator determines the fault of the load to be detected with an abnormal load power value.

[0084] In this way, first determine the refrigerator reference power value, then determine the load power value of the load to be detected according to the refrigerator reference power value. If the load power value is abnormal, then the load to be detected has a fault. This can further screen out the faulty load to improve the fault troubleshooting efficiency. When the refrigerator breaks down, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator fault, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0085] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the refrigerator reference power value, including: when all the loads of the refrigerator are turned off for the first duration for the jth time, the refrigerator detects the standby power of the refrigerator at the current moment as the jth refrigerator standby power value. The refrigerator removes the maximum value and the minimum value of the M refrigerator standby power values and then calculates the average value to obtain the refrigerator reference power value. Where j = 1, 2,..., M. M is the total number of times of turning off all the loads of the refrigerator. Specifically, the value of M can be 10.

[0086] In this way, all loads are turned off multiple times to put the refrigerator in the standby state. Multiple standby power values are detected, and the maximum and minimum values are removed, and then the average value is obtained as the refrigerator reference power value, which helps to make the refrigerator reference power value more accurate. Thus, the load power value to be detected can be determined more accurately. When the refrigerator fails, the after-sales maintenance personnel can accurately locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of the after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0087] Optionally, before all loads of the refrigerator are turned off for the j-th time for the first duration, it further includes: the refrigerator controls all loads of the refrigerator to be turned off for the j-th time. Specifically, the value of the first duration can be 5s.

[0088] In this way, at the moment when all the refrigerator loads are just turned off, the standby total power value of the refrigerator is not stable at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the standby total power after all loads are turned off for the first duration.

[0089] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the load power value of the load to be detected according to the refrigerator reference power value, including: when the i-th load to be detected of the refrigerator operates alone for the second duration, the detected total power value of the corresponding refrigerator is the i-th total power value; the load power value of the i-th load to be detected is determined according to the refrigerator reference power value and the i-th total power value. Wherein, i = 1, 2,..., N. N is the total number of loads to be detected. Specifically, the value of the second duration can be 3s.

[0090] In this way, at the initial moment when the i-th load to be detected operates alone, the i-th total power value of the refrigerator is not stable at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the total power value after the i-th load to be detected operates alone for the second duration. The load power value of the i-th load to be detected is determined according to the refrigerator reference power value and the i-th total power value. It helps to more accurately determine the load power value to be detected. When the refrigerator fails, the after-sales maintenance personnel can accurately locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of the after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0091] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the load power value of the i-th load to be detected according to the refrigerator reference power value and the i-th total power value, including: the refrigerator calculates the difference between the i-th total power value and the refrigerator reference power value as the load power value of the i-th load to be detected. Thus, it helps to make the refrigerator reference power value more accurate, and further more accurately determine the load power value to be detected. When the refrigerator fails, the after-sales maintenance personnel can accurately locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of the after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0092] In this way, the i-th total power value corresponds to the sum of the power value of the i-th load to be detected and the standby total power value. Therefore, it is necessary to subtract the reference power value of the refrigerator to obtain the difference in order to obtain the power value of the i-th load to be detected. When the refrigerator malfunctions, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to accurately locate the cause of the refrigerator malfunction, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0093] Optionally, the refrigerator determines the load fault to be detected with an abnormal load power value, including: the refrigerator determines that the difference between the load power value and the set load power value is the power difference. The refrigerator determines the load fault to be detected when the power difference is within the corresponding abnormal load power range.

[0094] In this way, if the difference between the load power value and the set load power value is within the corresponding abnormal load power range, it is determined that the load to be detected is abnormal. When the refrigerator malfunctions, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator malfunction, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0095] Specifically, the refrigerator determines the load fault to be detected when the power difference is within the corresponding abnormal load power range, including: the refrigerator determines a fault in the refrigerated door body light when the power difference of the refrigerated door body light is within the abnormal power range of the refrigerated door body light. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the refrigerated lighting lamp when the power difference of the refrigerated lighting lamp is within the abnormal power range of the refrigerated lighting lamp. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the defrost heating wire of the freezer when the power difference of the defrost heating wire of the freezer is within the abnormal power range of the defrost heating wire of the freezer. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the defrost heating wire of the refrigerated compartment when the power difference of the defrost heating wire of the refrigerated compartment is within the abnormal power range of the defrost heating wire of the refrigerated compartment. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the vertical beam heating wire when the power difference of the vertical beam heating wire is within the abnormal power range of the vertical beam heating wire. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the solenoid valve when the power difference of the solenoid valve is within the abnormal power range of the solenoid valve. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the cooling fan when the power difference of the cooling fan is within the abnormal power range of the cooling fan. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the refrigerated fan when the power difference of the refrigerated fan is within the abnormal power range of the refrigerated fan. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the freezer fan when the power difference of the freezer fan is within the abnormal power range of the freezer fan. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the variable temperature air damper when the power difference of the variable temperature air damper is within the abnormal power range of the variable temperature air damper. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the sterilization module when the power difference of the sterilization module is within the abnormal power range of the sterilization module. And / or, the refrigerator determines a fault in the compressor when the power difference of the compressor is within the abnormal power range of the compressor.

[0096] Specifically, the value range of the abnormal power interval of the refrigerated door body lamp is [10W, 25W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the refrigerated lighting lamp is [3W, 7W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the freezing defrosting heating wire is [160W, 220W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the refrigerated defrosting heating wire is [15W, 35W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the vertical beam heating wire is [15W, 25W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the electromagnetic valve is [6W, 13W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the cooling fan is [3W, 7W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the refrigerated fan is [4W, 9W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the freezing fan is [3W, 9W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the variable temperature air damper is [3W, 8W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the sterilization module is [3W, 12W]. The value range of the abnormal power interval of the compressor is [20W, 150W].

[0097] In this way, if the difference between the load power value and the set load power value is within the corresponding abnormal load power interval, it is determined that the load to be detected is abnormal. When the refrigerator fails, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0098] Optionally, before the refrigerator determines the corresponding load to be detected based on the fault status information of the refrigerator sensors and the abnormal operation status of the compressor, it further includes: the refrigerator controls the compressor to start through a PWM square wave signal. Detect the abnormal operation status of the compressor.

[0099] In this way, first control the compressor to start, then detect the abnormal operation status of the compressor, and then proceed with the fault status information of other refrigerator sensors. Since the abnormal operation of the compressor may affect the detection of the fault status information of other refrigerator sensors and lead to inaccuracies, and performing the detection of the abnormal operation status of the compressor first is beneficial for more quickly checking whether it is a compressor fault. When the compressor is operating normally, then perform the detection of the fault status information of other refrigerator sensors, which is beneficial for making the detection results of the fault status information of the refrigerator sensors more accurate. When the refrigerator fails, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator failure, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0100] Optionally, after the abnormal operation status of the compressor is normal and before determining the corresponding load to be detected based on the fault status information of the refrigerator sensors, it further includes: the refrigerator detects the fault status information of the refrigerator sensors.

[0101] In this way, first control the compressor to start, then detect the abnormal operation state of the compressor, and then obtain the fault state information of other refrigerator sensors. Since the abnormal operation of the compressor may affect the detection accuracy of the fault state information of other refrigerator sensors, and detecting the abnormal operation state of the compressor first is beneficial to quickly identify whether it is a compressor fault. When the compressor is operating normally, detecting the fault state information of other refrigerator sensors is beneficial to making the detection result of the fault state information of the refrigerator sensors more accurate. When a refrigerator fails, it enables after-sales maintenance personnel to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively locate the cause of the refrigerator fault, improving the work efficiency of after-sales maintenance personnel and the experience of refrigerator users.

[0124] Using the method for refrigerator fault detection provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when a refrigerator fails, first control the compressor to start, then detect the abnormal operation state of the compressor, and then detect the fault state information of other refrigerator sensors. Since the abnormal operation of the compressor may affect the detection of the fault state information of other refrigerator sensors and lead to inaccuracy, and detecting the abnormal operation state of the compressor first is conducive to more quickly finding out whether it is a compressor fault.
