• Check your home's circuit breaker panel to see if the breaker serving the refrigerator outlet has tripped; reset it by switching to OFF then back to ON
• Verify the power cord is fully inserted into the wall outlet and not partially disconnected
• Test the wall outlet by plugging in another appliance (such as a lamp) to confirm the outlet is functioning and delivering power
• Ensure the refrigerator is not sharing a circuit with high-draw appliances like microwave, dishwasher, or electric kettle that may cause overload
• Wait 60 seconds after switching off the circuit breaker, then switch it back ON to perform a complete electrical reset of the appliance
• Check that all refrigerator vents are unobstructed and clear of dust, ice, or debris that may restrict airflow
• Verify both the refrigerator and freezer doors are completely closed and sealing properly with no gaps
• Confirm temperature settings are at recommended levels (37-38°F for refrigerator, 0°F for freezer)
• Gently clean accessible condenser coils and area beneath the refrigerator to improve heat dissipation
