How to Reset a Fridge That’s Not Cooling:

First, locate the switch or reset button of your fridge, then press it 3 consecutive times, and your compressor should start running. If that doesn’t work, unplug your refrigerator, then leave it for about 5 minutes, and plug it back on. If you can’t reach the plug, go straight to the circuit breaker panel, and turn the refrigerator switch off. Wait for 5 minutes, then turn it back on, and click the reset button of the fridge 3 times. Shut the fridge door, then wait 3 to 5 seconds, and check if it works properly. Some refrigerators may take 5 to 10 minutes to turn back on.
