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

Safety first: Do not work inside live electrical panels. If you are not comfortable, contact an electrician.

• Check outlet: Plug a lamp or small appliance into the refrigerator's outlet to confirm it has power.
• Inspect cord: Ensure the refrigerator power cord is fully inserted and not damaged.
• Reset breaker: Check the home's breaker panel and reset any tripped breaker supplying the refrigerator circuit.
• GFCI outlets: If plugged into a GFCI outlet, reset it. GE generally recommends a non-GFCI circuit for refrigerators.
• Internal fuse or harness: If the outlet has power but the refrigerator is dead, an internal fuse, power board, or harness may have failed and should be diagnosed by a technician.
