Hey, are you having issues with your refrigerators? Here are some troubleshooting tips that can help you.

1.    Problem:- If your freezer control and lights are on, but compressor is not operating.
Reason: – Main Control Board (motherboard) is not distributing proper voltage to the compressor or the refrigerator is in defrost mode.

Solution: – Check the voltage going to the compressor. The compressor and the condenser fan next to the compressor, both start at the same time. If the condenser fan runs properly, the compressor should work too.
