When a residential refrigerator suddenly stops working, loses cooling, or shuts off completely, the very first thing you should check is its electrical power supply. Open the refrigerator door to see if the interior lights turn on; if the lights are completely dark and the compressor fan is silent, the appliance is likely not receiving electrical power. Go to your home's main electrical service panel and check whether the circuit breaker controlling the kitchen or refrigerator outlet has tripped. Additionally, check the wall outlet itself by plugging a small lamp into it to verify that the receptacle is live. You can troubleshoot power delivery easily with a multimeter. You can verify that the power issue is identified when resetting a tripped circuit breaker or plugging the power cord securely back into a live wall outlet restores power, causing the interior light and compressor to turn on.
