How to Check an Electrical Power Fault of a Refrigerator

If your refrigerator isn’t powering on, checking for an electrical power fault is a simple and

effective way to diagnose the issue. Following these steps provided by Beko can help you

quickly determine if the problem lies with your refrigerator or the power source.

Step 1: Avoid Using Extension Sockets

One common cause of electrical issues is improper connection. Do not plug the

refrigerator into an extension socket. Using a direct wall outlet ensures your refrigerator

receives the proper voltage and avoids power issues.

Step 2: Test the Main Power Socket

To ensure the outlet is functional, test the main power socket using another small

appliance or a light. This step confirms whether the outlet is providing power. If it’s not

working, you’ll need to check for any issues with your home's electrical supply.

Step 3: Confirm Power Supply

If your test shows that the power socket isn’t working, try another socket. If the new outlet

works, the problem is with the initial socket. Ensure the refrigerator is plugged directly

into a working socket to restore power.

Step 4: Plug in the Refrigerator

Once you’ve tested and confirmed the socket is working, plug in your Beko refrigerator. If

the appliance powers up, the electrical fault was with the previous socket. If not, further

inspection of the refrigerator may be needed.

By following these simple steps, you can quickly identify whether the issue is with your

refrigerator or the power source. Ensuring your refrigerator is connected properly to a

working outlet helps avoid unnecessary power failures and ensures your appliance

operates smoothly.
