Possible Causes

Failed compressor relay on main PCB, Faulty fan driver circuits, Loose harness connections from board to loads

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before touching the control board or wiring.

Steps:

  • Check for error codes: If none are displayed, but no cooling occurs, suspect control output issues.
  • Inspect board: Look for burnt relay contacts or darkened areas near high-current components.
  • Reseat connectors: Ensure all harnesses from the board to compressor, fans, and sensors are firmly connected.
  • Replace main PCB: If visual damage is present or outputs remain inactive despite correct inputs, replace the Sharp-compatible main control board.
