Troubleshooting your Sanyo compact refrigerator when it won't run at all
Check the control setting. Make sure the refrigerator is turned on.
Check the electrical outlet that you have the refrigerator plugged into. Make sure the electrical outlet has power. If the electrical outlet is dead, reset the house circuit breaker for the outlet. If the electrical outlet is still dead after resetting the house circuit breaker, have an electrician repair the electrical outlet.
Examine the power cord for damage. Replace the power cord if it's frayed or broken.
If the power cord is okay, you may need to replace the cold control thermostat or the compressor start relay to fix the refrigerator.
