      If the compressor in your Westinghouse Refrigerator isn't running, consider these possibilities: * The refrigerator may be in a defrost cycle, which is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator and lasts about 30 minutes. * Ensure the plug is tightly pushed into the outlet. * Check/replace the fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse. Reset the circuit breaker. * Check house lights to rule out a power outage. Call your local electric company if necessary.
