How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when working with live voltage. If unsure, consult an electrician or technician.

  • 1. Check outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another appliance and reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Unplug and examine the cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
  • 3. Test for voltage at the unit: With a multimeter, verify that line voltage is present at the cord entry point on the cooler.
  • 4. Inspect control board fuse: Remove the rear panel and look for an onboard fuse or thermal cutoff. If blown, determine cause (surge, short) and replace with the exact type and rating.
  • 5. Replace main control board: If power reaches the board but there is no response, replace the main control board.
