Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry and the floor is not wet when working with electrical outlets.
Steps:
- 1. Check outlet: Plug a lamp or other appliance into the same outlet to confirm power is present.
- 2. Inspect cord and plug: Look for visible damage, burns, or loose plug blades. Replace the cord if damaged.
- 3. Reset breaker: Check your home’s breaker panel or fuse box and reset any tripped breaker associated with the kitchen or refrigerator circuit.
- 4. Internal fuse: If the outlet and cord are good, unplug the fridge, remove the rear control cover, and look for an internal fuse on the main PCB. Replace only with the same type and rating if blown.
- 5. Main PCB: If the fuse is intact and there is still no power, the main control board’s power supply may have failed and require replacement.
Warning: If the new fuse blows immediately, do not keep replacing it; there is likely a short that needs professional diagnosis.
