Power Supply Issue

Power supply issues may also result in an unresponsive control panel on your Haier refrigerator.

In other words, the appliance may not be receiving enough power to function properly, assuming it is receiving any power at all.

Assuming the rest of your house has power, the most likely cause is that the circuit breaker that supplies the fridge has tripped.

Aside from that, the wall socket into which you plugged the fridge may not be working.

Possible Solution/s

If everything else in your house is working properly, proceed with the next steps

  • First, inspect the main electrical box, which contains all of the circuit breakers.
  • Next check that the one for the fridge is turned on, and if not, turn it on.
  • Finally, test the wall socket into which you plugged the fridge.

You can put it through its paces by plugging in another appliance.

If the wall socket is found to be defective, you will need to call an electrician to repair it.
