Why is my IKEA STJARNSTATUS compressor not running?
The compressor in your IKEA Refrigerator might not be running because the freezer control is set to “OF”, the refrigerator is in defrost cycle, the plug at the electrical outlet is disconnected, a house fuse is blown, a circuit breaker is tripped, or there is a power outage. Set the freezer control. Note that it's normal for the refrigerator to undergo a defrost cycle periodically for about 30 minutes. Ensure the plug is tightly pushed into the outlet. Check and replace the fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Also, check the house lights to determine if there is a power outage, and call the local electric company if needed.
