Possible Causes

Loose power cord or outlet, Faulty main control board, Overheating PCB, Poor grounding or voltage fluctuations

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Avoid using extension cords or power strips with the refrigerator.

Steps:

  • Check power connection: Ensure the power plug is fully inserted into a dedicated wall outlet.
  • Test outlet: Plug another appliance into the same outlet to verify stable power. If the outlet is suspect, have it inspected by an electrician.
  • Inspect control board: Remove the rear control cover and check the main PCB for loose connectors or signs of overheating.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the rear of the refrigerator is not tightly enclosed, which can overheat the control board.
  • Replace PCB: If flickering and random shutdowns persist with a good power supply, replace the main control board.
