Refrigerator does not start at all; display and lights off; no sound.

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

• Check outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm power is present.
• Inspect plug and cord: Look for damage to the Candy refrigerator's power cord and plug. Replace if damaged.
• Terminal block: With the fridge unplugged, remove the rear cover and check that wires are secure at the terminal block.
• Internal fuse: Some Candy PCBs have an internal fuse. If accessible and visibly blown, replace with the exact same rating. If it blows again, a deeper fault exists and a technician should inspect the unit.
