So sorry Guennie. We kept surge protectors on all appliances in Florida because we lost all of our appliances and telephones with a power surge. They will tell you that they they are not responsible(monetarily) for any loss you have because of it.
The repairman came and ...of all things...we have a computer board in the back of our fridge....and one on top too!??
Anyway, the circuit board on the back was zapped, he showed me the burned place...(& we've been having a lot of 'surges' lately)
..so all he had to do was replace the computer circuit with a new one...
...and lo and behold, the fridge kicked in and is running great!
