If the display does not work on the refrigerator, then this does not always mean that you have problems with the voltage in the mains - this, by the way, is a common theory in the issue of a non-working display. If the refrigerator does not turn on the display, then this may be due to such reasons:
- Check the power cable: it may be torn or damaged.
- It does not hurt to check the outlet itself - it may also be that the cause of the malfunction of the refrigerator is its breakdown.
- Masters also say that a burned-out control board can be the cause of a malfunctioning display, or, as it is also called an electrical circuit.
- Well, you should not exclude the reason that we talked about a little higher - a voltage drop in the network can be to blame for a non-working display.
- Check also the button that turns on / off your refrigerator - the reason may be hidden in it.
- If the indicator board does not work, then the fuse may have blown.
It may be that the display panel is damaged mechanically - for example, during transportation or it doesn’t hurt to ask household members what has recently been happening near the refrigerator.
How to troubleshoot with an electronic scoreboard
Specialists in this regard advise, first of all, to make sure that the voltage is present in the outlet - do not try to get into it with a screwdriver or anything else, it will be enough to include another working electrical appliance in this outlet. If the appliance is working, plug in the refrigerator and then press the power button of your refrigerator. If the indicator board still doesn’t work, then you should not try to immediately fix the refrigerator yourself - after all, repairs may not be required by the display itself, but by the entire electronic control panel, and this task will best be transferred to the shoulders of competent specialists. Do not forget also that independent attempts of such a repair may result in a spoiled appearance of your refrigerator, and even worse - entail a more expensive and troublesome repair, in case of your fiasco.
Some types of problems with the scoreboard:
- Violation of the electronic scoreboard can be expressed in the fact that it is impossible to clearly consider the figure that displays the temperature. What is it? It means that some segments of the electronic display do not work. That is, you can see an incomplete figure - its some elements.
- An icon flashes on the electronic scoreboard. As for the operation of the refrigerator, it is usually not broken. If a the temperature indicator flashes, this means that in one of the chambers, for one reason, the temperature may rise - in the best case, this may occur due to the constant opening of the refrigerator door, in the worst - due to refrigerant leakage. Checking this is simple - wait until the camera reaches the desired temperature and until the icon stops flashing. If this never happened, you need diagnostics and, most likely, repair. By the way, it also happens that the display shows a completely incorrect temperature.
- If screen segment flashing, and not its separate element, it will not hurt to check the electrical connection between the refrigerator itself and its door - it is possible that the connections were broken during transportation or re-mounting of the doors.
As the experience of many owners of refrigerators shows, sometimes a temporary shutdown of the refrigerator helps to get rid of some problems, because some of them really sometimes appear simply because the refrigerator, as they say, is “turned off”. In any case, if the problem returns again and again - if an error is displayed, the display blinks or the screen does not work at all, then the help of the wizard will not do much harm, but on the contrary, it will help get rid of the annoying problem.
