Refrigerator not running at all, no lights, no display, completely dead.

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry and the area around the outlet is not wet.

External checks:

• Verify the outlet has power by testing with another device.
• Check the circuit breaker or fuse panel for a tripped breaker.

Refrigerator checks:

• Inspect the power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks.
• Remove the rear control cover and look for an internal fuse or thermal protector on the main board (if present).

Repair: Replace a damaged power cord or blown internal fuse only with the correct rated part. If the main control board shows burn damage or no output voltage, it will need replacement. If you are not comfortable working with mains voltage, contact a professional.
