Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before any inspection. Mains voltage is present inside.
Basic user checks:
- Verify outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm power is available.
- Check power cord: Inspect for cuts, burns, or kinks. Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged.
- Reset RCD/fuse: Ensure your household circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped.
- Internal fuse: Some Zanussi PCBs have a replaceable fuse, but accessing it requires removing covers and exposes live parts. This should be done only by a qualified technician.
Professional repair: If external power is good but the unit is dead, the main PCB or internal wiring likely needs professional diagnosis and replacement.
