How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not attempt to work on live electrical circuits. Unplug the unit before inspecting the cord.

  • Check breaker: Verify the circuit breaker or fuse for the refrigerator circuit is not tripped.
  • Test outlet: Plug a lamp or other device into the same outlet to confirm power.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Do not use the unit if the cord is damaged.

If the outlet has power and the cord is intact but the refrigerator remains dead, the main control board or internal wiring may have failed and should be diagnosed by a technician.
