How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If you suspect electrical issues in the home wiring, contact a qualified electrician. Do not operate the refrigerator on damaged outlets or cords.
Step 1 – Confirm power stability:
- Check that other appliances on the same circuit are working normally.
- Ensure the refrigerator plug is fully inserted and the outlet is not loose.
- Reset any tripped circuit breakers or replace blown fuses.
Step 2 – Inspect the power cord:
- Pull the refrigerator out slightly and inspect the cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections.
- If the cord is damaged, unplug immediately and have it replaced by a technician.
Step 3 – Clear the alarm:
- Use the control panel to acknowledge the AL08 alarm (usually by pressing the alarm or confirm button).
- Check food condition, especially in the freezer, and discard items that may have thawed to unsafe temperatures.
Step 4 – Internal power supply (advanced):
- If AL08 appears repeatedly without actual power outages, the internal power supply or control board may be misreading voltage.
- Professional diagnosis is recommended to test the power module and replace if necessary.
