[LG refrigerator power] The circuit breaker suddenly tripped.

Troubleshooting

The circuit breaker can trip due to electrical leakage from the product or internal shorts in the circuitry of the appliance.
The circuit breaker can trip due to a short circuit caused by leakage from the product, electrical wiring, or power outlet, or a defect in the circuit breaker itself.
Additionally, if multiple products with high power consumption are operated simultaneously on an extension cord, the circuit breaker may trip.

Try this

Is the machine’s power plug connected to an extension cord?

➔ Connect the machine’s power plug direct to a wall-mounted power outlet.

Extension cords that are commonly used at homes have a limited maximum power consumption.
Therefore, if multiple electric appliances that consume a lot of power are connected to an extension cord, the capacity of the cord becomes insufficient.
Plug the refrigerator's power cord directly into a wall-mounted power outlet.

Is the circuit breaker not able to be reset even after unplugging the power to the refrigerator?

➔ Have the electrical facilities inside the building inspected.

First, unplug the power plug of the product from the outlet and then reset the circuit breaker.
If the circuit breaker does not reset following this, it may be a problem with the electrical facilities inside the building, so you will need to consult the management office or an electricity supply specialist.
However, if the circuit breaker does not reset when the power plug is not removed from the outlet, it may be a product defect.
Ask for an inspection by an LG professional service technician.

Do other appliances connected to the outlet work?

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

If plugging another appliance into an outlet does not see the appliance work, it is an outlet defect.
Check with the management office or an electrician for outlet defects.
