Possible Causes

Failed inverter board (on inverter compressor models), Loose compressor harness, Faulty compressor windings, Control board communication error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator. Compressor and inverter circuits carry high voltage; do not probe live unless you are qualified.

Basic checks:

  • Pull the unit out and remove the rear lower panel.
  • Inspect the compressor area for loose connectors, burnt smells, or damaged wiring.
  • Ensure the inverter module (if present) is firmly mounted and its plugs are fully seated.

Reset:

  • Leave the unit unplugged for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and listen for the compressor starting after a short delay.

Important: Diagnosing compressor and inverter faults requires specialized tools and knowledge of sealed systems. If EC persists, contact an authorized technician; do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.
