Possible Causes

Tripped household breaker, Faulty outlet, Damaged power cord, Failed internal power supply on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not work on live circuits. Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting outlets or wiring.

  • Check outlet: Plug a lamp or tester into the outlet. If no power, reset the breaker or replace the fuse.
  • Inspect cord: Examine the power cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Test another outlet: Temporarily plug the freezer into a known-good outlet (using a heavy-duty extension cord only for testing).
  • Internal fuse/control: If the outlet and cord are good, the electronic control board or internal fuse may have failed and require replacement.
