How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: You are dealing with 120V AC. If you are not comfortable testing live outlets, contact an electrician.
- Check breaker and GFCI: Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets supplying the refrigerator.
- Test outlet: Plug in a lamp or small appliance to confirm the outlet has power.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections on the power cord. Replace if damaged.
- Control board fuse: Some main control boards have onboard fuses. With power disconnected, inspect the main control board for blown fuses or burn marks. Replace the board if damaged.
- Professional service: If the outlet and cord are good but the unit remains dead, the main control board or internal wiring may be faulty and should be serviced by a technician.
