If everything is fine from that standpoint, try plugging a smaller different device in the wall AC outlet such as a lamp to confirm whether outlet works fine or possibly defective.
If the outlet is defective, electricity is not being provided to refrigerator for lamp or display to turn “on”. Should that be the case, consult an electrician.
