[LG Refrigerator] Unit Trips Circuit Breaker

Troubleshooting

Let's find out more.

A power leak or short circuit in the appliance's internal circuitry can trip the circuit breaker.
A leak in the product, the electrical wiring, or the power outlet, as well as a faulty circuit breaker itself, can also cause it to trip.
Overloading a power strip with multiple appliances operating simultaneously can also trip the breaker.

Try this.

Is the power plug connected to a power strip?

➔ Plug the power cord directly into a wall outlet.

Power strips have a limited maximum power capacity. Connecting other high-power appliances to the same power strip can overload it.
Plug your refrigerator's power cord directly into a wall outlet.

Does the circuit breaker still trip after unplugging the refrigerator and resetting the breaker?

➔ Have the building's electrical system inspected.

First, unplug the refrigerator and then reset the circuit breaker.
If the breaker still trips, there may be a problem with the building's electrical wiring.
Contact your building management or a qualified electrician.
However, if the breaker trips with the refrigerator plugged in, there may be an issue with the appliance.
Contact an authorized service center for assistance.

Do other appliances work in the same outlet?

➔ Plug in a small appliance to check if the outlet is working.

If other appliances don't work when plugged into the outlet, the outlet itself may be faulty.
Contact your building management or a qualified electrician to check the outlet.
