How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use caution when working with household electrical circuits.
Step 1: Check household power
- Verify the breaker for the refrigerator circuit is ON.
- Test the outlet with another appliance or a receptacle tester.
Step 2: Inspect power cord
- Check the cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections.
- Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet.
Step 3: Internal checks
- If the outlet has power, unplug the refrigerator and remove the rear access panel.
- Inspect the main control board and wiring harness for burnt connectors or broken wires.
When to call a technician: If internal fuses or wiring are open, or if the control board is not powering up, professional diagnosis is required.
