Why is the fridge not working on my fridge freezer?

Be sure the fridge is plugged in and getting power. Be sure the vents on the back of the freezer compartment aren’t blocked by boxes of ice cream or frozen vegetables—the vents have to be clear for cold air to circulate. Vacuum the coils under or behind the fridge. Clogged coils can cause poor cooling.

Can a fridge freezer be laid down for transport?

Refrigerators have to be transported upright You should never lay your fridge freezer down. When on its back or side, oil will flow into the cooling tubes, and it may not drain from them when the fridge moves back to an upright position. As a consequence, your fridge may stop cooling properly or break down completely.

What to do if fridge freezer stops working?

Turn the breaker back on (or replace the fuse) if you find that it has tripped. Check the outlet the fridge is plugged into (which is probably behind the fridge) if it’s not the breaker, or you’ve reset a tripped breaker and there’s still no power. Plug a lamp into both sides of the outlet to test it.

What to do if fridge stops working?

Grab a food cooler (or ice chest) and put a layer of frozen foods in the bottom. Then put a layer of foods from the fridge on top of that layer. Top it off with another layer of frozen foods. The frozen foods will keep everything cold while you run to the store to get a bag of ice and a fridge thermometer.

What could cause a fridge freezer to trip sockets?

Overload. One of the most common reasons for a breaker to trip is an overloaded circuit, which simply means that a greater demand for electricity is being placed on the circuit than it can deliver. If the circuit continues tripping with only the fridge plugged in, more investigation is needed.

Can you plug a fridge freezer into a normal plug socket?

Refrigerators don’t need special outlets. They can be plugged into a standard 110-120 volt outlet so long as the socket is three-pronged. This means that while you can plug something else into the same outlet, you probably shouldn’t—especially not another appliance.
