Refrigerator not starting at all, no lights, no display, completely dead.

Safety first: Do not attempt live electrical tests unless you are qualified. Always unplug before opening covers.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Check outlet: Plug another appliance into the same socket to confirm power is present.
• 2. Inspect plug and cable: Look for damage, burns, or loose pins on the Indesit plug and cable.
• 3. Reset breaker: If the circuit breaker has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again when the fridge is plugged in, disconnect the fridge and call a technician.
• 4. Internal fuses: Some models have internal fuses on the mains filter or PCB; these should only be checked by a qualified person.

When to call a technician: If the appliance remains dead with a known-good supply, the mains filter or control board likely needs professional replacement.
