How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Before opening any covers, unplug the freezer. Only work on live circuits if you are trained and using proper test equipment.

Steps to diagnose a dead freezer:

  • 1. Verify outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Check any circuit breakers or RCDs.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks in the mains lead. Replace if damaged.
  • 3. Access control area: Remove the control box cover (top or rear, depending on model) to access the mains filter and main control PCB.
  • 4. Check internal fuse: Many New World boards have a small glass or ceramic fuse. Test for continuity and replace with the same rating if blown. If it blows again immediately, there is a deeper fault.
  • 5. Inspect PCB: Look for burnt components or tracks. If present, replace the entire main control PCB.

Warning: If you smell burning or see charring, do not attempt repeated power‑ups. Seek professional service.
