Refrigerator cycles on and off rapidly or lights flicker when compressor starts.

Safety first: Electrical issues can be hazardous. If you are not comfortable working with electricity, contact an electrician or technician.

Steps:

• 1. Test outlet: Plug the refrigerator into a different dedicated outlet if possible. Avoid extension cords.
• 2. Check circuit load: Ensure the refrigerator is on its own 15–20A circuit without other heavy loads.
• 3. Inspect power cord: Look for damage or loose plug blades.
• 4. Inspect main control board: If the outlet is good, remove the rear panel and inspect the board for burnt relays or loose connections. Replace the board if damage is found.
