How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not open your home's electrical panel unless you are comfortable doing so. Always unplug the refrigerator before inspecting the cord.
- 1. Check outlet: Plug a lamp or small appliance into the same outlet to confirm power is present.
- 2. Inspect breaker: Reset the dedicated refrigerator breaker in the electrical panel.
- 3. Examine power cord: Pull the refrigerator out and inspect the cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. If damaged, do not use the appliance until the cord is replaced.
- 4. Try another outlet: If possible, temporarily plug the refrigerator into a different known-good outlet (no extension cords) to rule out outlet issues.
- 5. Internal failure: If the unit still shows no signs of life, the main control board or internal wiring may have failed and should be diagnosed by a technician.
