Refrigerator not running at all, no lights, no sounds.

Safety: Before any work, ensure the outlet is not live when you are handling bare wires. Do not open the control board if you are not trained.

Steps:

• 1. Check outlet: Plug a lamp or other device into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse if needed.
• 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. If damaged, the cord must be replaced by a qualified technician.
• 3. Verify plug connection: Ensure the plug is fully inserted and not loose in the outlet.
• 4. Internal connections: If comfortable, remove the rear cover and check that the power cord connections to the main control board or terminal block are secure.
• 5. Control board: If power is present at the board but nothing operates, the board’s power supply may have failed and the board will need replacement.

Warning: Live voltage is present inside the control compartment. If unsure, contact a professional.
