Self-diagnosing power issues for your Samsung refrigerator

Keeping your refrigerator with power is pretty simple but there are a few things to keep an eye on of to ensure your fridge is never without power. Be mindful of your home’s circuits. Newer kitchens often have ground fault protection, in the form of GFCI outlets. These types of plugs are fine to use but be aware that if something else on the circuit were to trip one, you’re fridge would be without power and may cause your food to spoil if not caught in time. So you just need to monitor these outlets and if you have issues, you may need to switch to regular outlets. Now, what about those times when power issues are out of your control like during blackouts or brownouts. Luckily, your Samsung fridge does feature brownout protection which will prevent the compressor from kicking on when power is low and prevent damage. For those times when there’s a blackout and you want to use a generator just make sure the output wattage is rated for your refrigerators power consumption. If your generators power were to sag, your fridge will enter brownout protection and stop cooling.
