Abstract

The present invention discloses a refrigerator controlling method and system with a linear compressor. The method comprises: monitoring an environment temperature T of the refrigerator located in the environment comparing the environment temperature T with a preset environment temperature threshold T0; if T is larger than T0, controlling a refrigerating unit and/or a heating unit in the refrigerator such that the refrigerator runs under a first operation condition; and if T is smaller than or equal to T0, controlling the refrigerating unit and/or the heating unit in the refrigerator such that the refrigerator runs under a second operation condition. When the linear compressor runs within predetermined time, a refrigeration amount of the linear compressor under the second operation condition is controlled to be larger than a refrigeration amount of the linear compressor under the first operation condition, such that a compartment of the refrigerator reaches a target temperature.
