Dacor Electrical Component Overheating

Strong chemical or burning smell coming from the refrigerator.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overheating main control board, Failing compressor or inverter, Shorted wiring harness, Overheated light or LED driver

Safety: Immediately unplug the refrigerator and do not continue to operate it if you smell burning.

Inspect rear compartment: After unplugging and allowing to cool, remove the rear panel and look for burnt components on the control board or inverter.
Check interior lights: Ensure lights turn off when doors close; a stuck switch can overheat bulbs or LED drivers.

Because of fire risk, do not continue using the appliance until it has been inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
