Electrolux Refrigerator not running
If your Electrolux fridge appears completely dead, with a blank display and the refrigerator not running, start with the most likely causes in this order: a failed dispenser control board, an incoming power problem, or a failed user control and display board. Inspect the dispenser and display boards for burn marks and replace any that look damaged, then confirm the plug and outlet are supplying power (avoid a GFCI outlet for a fridge) and check breakers or blown fuses. If the display is intermittent, check the wire harness connectors for loose or damaged wiring, and after a power surge try a simple power reset by unplugging the unit for a few minutes or switching the circuit breaker off and back on. A fault in the main control board is less common and should be considered only after testing these other parts. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement control board, harness, or related components for your Electrolux refrigerator.
01 - Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser Control Board
If the refrigerator display appears completely dead, it's possible the dispenser control board has failed. You should inspect the board for any burn marks and replace it if it appears damaged.

Highly Likely
02 - Incoming Power Problem
Ensure plug is tightly pushed into a regular electrical outlet and the outlet is supplying power. Using a ground fault outlet for a refrigerator is not recommended. Confirm that no circuit breakers have tripped or fuses have blown.
Highly Likely
03 - Electrolux Refrigerator User Control and Display Board
If the refrigerator display appears completely dead, it's possible the user control and display board has failed. You should inspect the board for any burn marks and replace it if it appears damaged.
Common
04 - Disconnected or Damaged Wire Harness
The wires from the control panel to the control board may be loose or have become disconnected. Make sure the wire harness connectors are tight. A damaged wire harness will need to be replaced.
Common
05 - Power reset
After a power surge or power outage, refrigerator operation could be temporarily affected. Full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the appliance's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the refrigerator then switching it back on.
Common
06 - Electrolux Refrigerator Control Board
If nothing is working on the refrigerator, it's likely the control board is defective. However, this is almost never the cause. Before replacing the main control board, test all of more commonly defective parts. If none of the other components are defective, consider replacing the control board.
Less Common
