A broken refrigerator or cooker can be a frustrating situation to deal with. No one wants to spend a lot of money on an appliance that suddenly breaks or stops working. Before assuming the worst, first, check your home’s breaker box. A breaker box will automatically cut the power if too much power surges through an outlet. If this isn’t the cause, check the cord and make sure everything is plugged in and set up correctly. Another DIY fix is turning the appliance OFF and ON again (this can work!). When you’re confident that the device is, in fact, faulty, please call the store or manufacturer you purchased the appliance from. Depending on your situation, and whether your appliance is still under warranty, the manufacturer or store will let you know whether you’re entitled to a replacement, refund or in-store credit.
