Possible Causes
Control board firmware lockup, Surge damage to PCB, Tripped household breaker, Loose mains connection at terminal block
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the circuit breaker before inspecting the terminal block.
- Check household supply: Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped and that other appliances on the same circuit work.
- Power-cycle the freezer: Unplug for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect to reset the control electronics.
- Inspect power cord and plug: Look for damage or overheating. Replace if necessary.
- Check internal terminal block: With power off, tighten any loose screws and inspect for burnt insulation.
- PCB damage: If the display remains blank or erratic after reset and power is confirmed, the main PCB may have been surge-damaged and require replacement.
Test: After restoring power, confirm that the display initializes and the compressor starts within a few minutes.
