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

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry and the area is safe before working with electrical outlets.

• 1. Check outlet and breaker: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses in your home panel.
• 2. Inspect power cord: Examine the Severin freezer's power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. If damaged, have it replaced by a qualified technician.
• 3. Try another outlet: Plug the freezer into a different, known-good outlet (without extension cords) to rule out outlet issues.
• 4. Internal fuse: If still dead, unplug the unit and access the main control board. Some boards have a replaceable fuse; check and replace with the same rating if blown.
• 5. Replace control board: If the fuse is good and power is present at the board input but the unit remains dead, the main PCB is likely faulty and should be replaced.
