Not Powering On

Question:

What should I do if my fridge is not powering on?

 

Answer:

Reset the fridge by unplugging it for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

Inspect the power cord for any cracks, frays, chafe, or damaged plug ends. If damaged, unplug the fridge and set up service.

Ensure the fridge is properly plugged into a functioning electrical outlet.

Test the outlet by plugging in another device to verify its functionality.
