Refrigerator will not start at all; no lights, no display, no sounds.

Safety: Use caution when working with household electrical circuits. If you are not comfortable, consult an electrician or technician.

Steps to restore power:

• Check outlet: Plug a lamp or small appliance into the same outlet to confirm it has power.
• Check breaker or fuse: Inspect your home's electrical panel for a tripped breaker or blown fuse and reset/replace as needed.
• Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
• Test at control board: With the rear cover removed and using proper safety precautions, verify that AC voltage is present at the main control board input. If power is present but the board is dead, the board or its internal fuse may be faulty.
• Replace main control board: If the board is not powering up despite proper input voltage, replace it with an OEM Danby board.
