Let's find out more.
A circuit breaker may trip due to a ground fault or a short circuit in the refrigerator's electrical system.
This can be caused by a ground fault in the refrigerator, the wiring, or the outlet, or even a faulty circuit breaker.
Overloading a power strip with multiple appliances running simultaneously can also trip the breaker.
Try this.
Is the power plug connected to a power strip?
? Plug the refrigerator directly into a wall outlet.
Power strips have a maximum power capacity.
Connecting multiple power-hungry appliances to a single power strip can overload it.
Always plug your refrigerator directly into a dedicated wall outlet.
Does the circuit breaker trip again after turning off the refrigerator and resetting the breaker?
? Have a qualified electrician inspect your building's electrical system.
If the breaker trips even after turning off the refrigerator, the problem may be with your building's electrical system. Contact your building manager or a qualified electrician.
However, if the breaker trips only when the refrigerator is turned on, there may be a problem with the refrigerator. Contact LG customer service for assistance.
Do other appliances work in the same outlet?
? Test the outlet by plugging in a small appliance.
If other appliances don't work in the outlet, the outlet itself may be faulty. Contact your building manager or a qualified electrician to have the outlet checked.
