Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker, Faulty wall outlet, Damaged power cord, Internal fuse or main control board failure

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.
