    Does the refrigerator light turn on when you open the door? If so you have voltage at the outlet and to the refrigerator. You can troubleshoot by going to www.repairclinic.com and clicking on Repair Help at the top of the page.

    Fridge Stopped Working

    Here are the two most comon problems and how to solve them:

    Easiest thing to check for is current.

    Plug a small appliance to the outlet where the fridge is plugged in (e.g. a lamp). If there isnt any power, then flip breaker back on (first fully to the left, then to the right).

    Check the Relay.

    The Second thing to do is to test the relay. This is the most comon thing that goes out in a fridge.

    You will need a multimeter to test it.

    Here is a website that will show you how.

    At least call the company up, and see if they have any ideas on what your problem might be. You could always take peak at the manual. Or as a last result hire somebody to come and fix it.

    (p.s I would check to see if the power cord was bent or under stress or try un plugging it and then plugging it back in.

    I developed some hobbies. I took a night course at the local community college. (Some have great non-credit courses, such as flower arranging, pottery, etc. I started Scrapbooking, getting a picture album organized, organizing closets or cabinets in my home, sewing, crocheting, painting, listening to old music, reading some books, or watching television with popcorn and hot chocolate. I even started remodeling my kitchen, painting the cabinets, painting the walls, changing the hardware, cleaning the refrigerator and stove, and hanging new curtains and blinds. I redecorated my bedroom, and removed all pictures of him. I turned off my phone, so that I would not even wonder if he tried to call. I was on a mission to forget him. It took some time, but one day everything looked better, and the future looked brighter. I was back to being "me" again!! You will be too!! Good Luck. Some people get a cat or a dog to occupy their time, but that was too limiting for me. I like to be able to go and come as I please. I also started going to Karaoke, Concerts, Barbecues, and such, so that I could meet new people to hang out with. Bring a book or some work to a local coffeeshop, just to get out of the house. Volunteer your time to a cause you believe in. Do some of the things he hated to do with you. (That seemed to be extremely satisfying!!) After awhile, I began to realize why we split, and I was happy for the chance to find someone that was more interesting and enjoyable in my life. I did, and I now wonder what I ever saw in the ex
