Possible Causes

Failed main control board, Tripped thermal fuse on control, Loose power cord or outlet issue, Faulty door switch preventing operation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Verify power at the outlet with a known-good device.

  • Check outlet and breaker: Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped and the outlet has power.
  • Inspect power cord: Confirm the cord is fully plugged in and not damaged.
  • Test door switches: Press each door switch and listen for interior fan operation. A failed switch can sometimes prevent cooling.
  • Inspect main PCB: If comfortable, remove the rear control cover and look for burnt components. Reseat connectors.

If there is power but no operation, the main control board likely needs replacement.
