How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use caution when working around electrical outlets and breakers.
A dead refrigerator usually indicates a power supply issue.
- Check outlet: Plug a lamp or small appliance into the same outlet to verify power.
- Reset breaker: Inspect the home's breaker panel and reset any tripped breaker.
- Inspect power cord: Pull the refrigerator out and check that the cord is fully inserted and not damaged.
- Check surge protector: If using a surge strip, bypass it and plug directly into the wall.
- Internal fuse/board: If the outlet has power but the unit is dead, the main control board or internal fuse may be failed and should be diagnosed and replaced by a technician.
