What actually causes this:

High mains voltage spike, faulty voltage regulator, or utility power surge

First Thing to Check

Check AC voltage at refrigerator outlet with multimeter, should be 110-127V or 220-240V

Parts Involved

Inverter PCB resistors (R309, R310, R311)Voltage regulator

How to Fix

  1. 1

    Check AC input voltage at wall outlet with multimeter

  2. 2

    Verify resistors R309, R310, R311 on PCB are not burnt or damaged

  3. 3

    Check voltage regulation circuit is functioning
