Crosley Refrigerator not running
If your Crosley refrigerator appears completely dead, with the refrigerator display not working and the refrigerator control panel not working, the most likely causes are a failed dispenser control board or a loss of incoming power. Start by inspecting the dispenser control or user control and display board for burn marks, then confirm the outlet is live, the plug is seated, and no breakers or fuses have tripped; using a ground fault outlet is not recommended for a refrigerator. Less common causes include a loose or damaged wire harness between the panel and control board and an operation issue that clears with a basic power reset by unplugging the fridge or switching the breaker off for a few minutes. Replacing the main control board is rarely required unless every other component checks out. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement refrigerator control panel, control board, or display parts that fit your fridge.
01 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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.
