How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the outlet is safe and not overloaded. Do not attempt live wiring repairs if unqualified.

  • 1. Check outlet: Plug another device into the same outlet to confirm power is present. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • 3. Check main PCB fuse: Unplug the refrigerator, remove the rear control cover, and inspect any onboard fuses. Replace only with identical rated fuses if blown.
  • 4. Replace main PCB: If power is present at the board but nothing powers on, the main control board is likely defective and should be replaced.

Note: If you are not comfortable working around mains voltage, contact a technician.
