Method and device for controlling a compressor

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions which, when executed by an electronic device with a compressor, one or more processors, and memory, cause the electronic device to:

• after the compressor is stopped for protection, update a number of protective stops of the compressor occurring during a current operation of an air conditioner;
• when the number of protective stops of the compressor is greater than a first preset number, lower a frequency of the compressor so that when the compressor restarts, the compressor starts and operates at the lowered frequency, wherein lowering the frequency of the compressor includes lowering a preset frequency in accordance with a first decreasing amplitude corresponding to a current number of protective stops to obtain the lowered frequency, and wherein the greater the number of protective stops, the greater the first decreasing amplitude;
• determine, when the number of protective stops of the compressor is greater than the first preset number, whether the number of protective stops is less than a second preset number which is greater than the first preset number;
• when the number of protective stops is less than the second preset number, perform the operation of lowering the frequency of the compressor so that when the compressor restarts the compressor starts and operates at the lowered frequency;
• and
• otherwise, when the number of protective stops is greater than or equal to the second preset number, restore the frequency of the compressor to the preset frequency, and clear the number of protective stops of the compressor to zero.
