Physical structure and function of the refrigerator.

Sequence numberUnitComponentFunction

1Refrigerator compartmentRefrigerator sensorSenses the temperature and sends the data to the control panel to control the cooling of the refrigeration section
2Refrigerator defrosting heating elementDefrosts the refrigeration evaporator
3Refrigerator doorSenses the switch status and sends the data to the control panel to control lights, air doors, fans, and compressor switches
4Refrigerator defrost sensorSenses the defrosting temperature and sends the data to the control panel to control the end of the defrosting
5Refrigerator damperControls refrigerator cooling through the damper switch

6Chilling chamberChilling chamber sensorSenses the temperature and sends the data to the control panel to control the cooling of the chilling chamber
7Chilling chamber heating elementHeats the chamber, turning on when the storage function of the chamber is set
8Chilling chamber damperControls the cooling of the chamber through the damper switch

9Variable-temperature compartmentVariable-temperature sensorSenses the variations in temperature and sends the data to the control panel to control the cooling of the compartment
10Variable-temperature damperControls the cooling of the compartment through the damper switch

11Freezer compartmentFreezer sensorSenses the temperature and sends the data to the control panel to control the cooling of the freezer
12Freezer defrost sensorSenses the temperature during defrosting and sends the data to the control panel to control whether defrosting is over
13Freezer door switchDetects status of door and sends the data to the main control board, thereby controlling lights, dampers, fans, and compressor switches
14Freezer fanSupplies air to the compartments
15Freezer defrosting heating elementDefrosts the freezer evaporator
