Freezer will not start at all; no lights, no display, no sound

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry and the floor is not wet when working with power connections.

Steps:

• Check outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses in your home's panel.
• Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage along the Midea freezer's cord. Replace if cut or burned.
• Internal fuse: Unplug the unit, remove the rear control cover, and inspect the main board for an onboard fuse. If blown, determine and correct the cause before replacing with the same rating.
• Terminal connections: On some models, verify that the power cord connections to the internal terminal block are tight and not burned.

Note: If the fuse blows again immediately, there is likely a short circuit that requires professional diagnosis.
