Someone please help me. So I bought a BEKO fridge a few weeks ago and I realized that the light automatically turns on when I open the fridge door so now I use magnets that help keep the light off on Shabbat even when I open the fridge door. But now I realized that even when the light inside the fridge doesn't turn on, every time I open the fridge door, the electronic display on the front of my fridge changes every time I open the door. I just realized it this Shabbat and I don't know what to do. 2 days of Yom Tov are starting tomorrow and I must solve this problem before tomorrow. Someone please help me.

I wish there was a way to figure this out before tomorrow!
There is a new product out there by Zman that helps for this issue. We personally have Shabbat mode on our Frigidaire refrigerator but it sounds like the Zman product would help you in your case if there is no Shabbat mode.

Can you hook it up to an appliance timer for the next few days until you can get a real Shabbos timer? https://www.amazon.com/Interma.....NMQEC
Is it possible a frum appliance repair guy in your area has one of those special Shabbos timers?

I have a plain non digital refrigerator (Whirlpool?), and tape my lights for shaboos. My compressor and circulating pump do not turn on when I open the door.

When we had a non digital refrigerator we simply removed the light bulb before shabbos and all was well.
Now with a digital refrigerator, like the OP has as well, the digital display information changes each time we open the refrigerator.

So what do you do about it on Shabbat and Yamim Tovim?

We bought a refrigerator that has a built in Shabbat mode from the manufacturer so we have no issue on shabbos. We put the refrigerator into Shabbat mode and then the digital display screen goes blank, the alerts and lights go off and this way we're able to use it on shabbos. We also need to manually turn off the ice maker before shabbos.
But I noticed you said that you have a digital refrigerator without Shabbat mode, which is why I suggested the above item. The item shuts down certain aspects of the refrigerator for shabbos, and can therefore make your refrigerator usable for shabbos through this outer device.
As mentioned above to MagentaYenta, a non digital refrigerator is not problematic on shabbos, according to most opinions. (Though from what I've read, Zman Technologies feels otherwise and says we shouldn't be relying on the heter that makes it permissible.)
