It may be the power circuit breaker. I had a similar problem with my oven and it turned out to be a loose connection to the breaker. Try plugging the fridge in to another power outlet.

The Keurig coffee maker model 155 does not have a special reset button. However, there are a few things you can try to get the machine working again after a power outage:
Check the power source: Make sure the coffee maker is properly plugged in and the outlet is working. You can try plugging in a different device to the outlet to ensure it is working properly.
Check the circuit breaker: If the outlet is not working, check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If so, reset the breaker and try plugging in the coffee maker again.
Unplug and replug the machine: If the outlet is working properly, try unplugging the coffee maker from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes reset the machine and get it working again.
Contact Keurig support: If none of the above solutions work, contact Keurig support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or help you determine if there is a larger issue with the machine that requires repair or replacement.
Have you tried plugging it in to a different outlet? You may have too many things using that same circuit. Seems worth a try - hope it helps. We found that our fridge was using the same circuit as our washer and microwave and this kept it from popping the breaker after we used another outlet.
If it is throwing safety switch, other wise know as circuit . I assume your talking about wall plug in circuit. If this is true, then you can try moving to different out let. All kitchens, where a toaster normally would be plugged in is a series of at least out lets by code requirements. If you find another outlet, that is on a different breaker, then should not trip. If you are on same circuit right now that fridge is on or microwave, toaster might be to much in conjunction with the fridge running continuously ,and micro wave at regular use. Please let me know if this helpful info to solf problem. Thanks mike from fixya
Could be anything, bad cord or plug, possible bad appliance bulb causing short (had that happen on another appliance) or the main problem, bad compressor.
Could be a lot of things - but I'm wondering if when you are checking the 'fuse at the plug-in,' are you actually checking the outlet for voltage?
I would check the outlet for voltage; i.e. plug in a hair dryer or something to the outlet and see if it (hair dryer) comes on. If it doesn't then I would check your breakers and see if you have a breaker tripped. In homes - you can usually go to your breaker panel (usually in the garage or a store room, i.e. pantry, hot water closet, sometimes in hallways behind doors) and find the breaker panel.
On a small unit like yours it would probably be a 15 or 20 amp single throw (like a light switch) breaker. If it's 'tripped' it can be in a position that resembles half on and half off, or it can look completely 'off.'
Remember - if it's a 'tripped breaker' - just re-setting the breaker might not solve the problem. There is usually a reason for a breaker tripping - although they do on occasion 'trip' for no reason.
In any event - if it's a tripped breaker - i would reset it and then if it happened again, either within a few minutes/or an hour - or within a day or two - then I would suspect something wrong with the unit and I would need more information, or you might need a qualified technician to trouble shoot the unit.
Note: if the breaker is tripped and when you reset it - it immediately 'pops back off.' Leave it off and call a tech - because you have a direct short and it will have to be trouble shooted.
well usually several plugs are on the same breaker and just because u use a different plug dont mean u r using another breaker try replacing the breaker and see if this cures the problem breakers sometimes get weak and trip when they need replacing but make sure u put in the same size if it still does it then u have something overamping because of being dirty or clogged up around the fridge or behind it or under it make sure its clean all around and try unplugging a couple of things on the outlets and see if it stops tripping
You may have a seized compressor, evaporator or condenser fan - have you tried turning it off first, plugging it in and seeing if that will hold? If you open the doors with the fridge off, will the lights still work? Can you hear the compressor start up when you turn the fridge on, or does it trip right then?
