Refregerator isn't working

To operate, a refrigerator needs electricity. If the refrigerator's light doesn't work and it's motor doesn't run: 1) Check the power. Make sure that the receptacle works (plug in a working lamp or a circuit tester). If the receptacle doesn?t work, check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. 2) Be sure the cold control is turned on. 3) If you discover that the refrigerator is plugged into a working outlet and the cold control is on, but the device shows no signs of life, leave the door closed to retain the cold air and call an appliance repairperson.
