A refrigerator's electronic control board has an overload fuse as one of its components. Sears calls this control board the "brains" of the refrigerator, since it's responsible for controlling parts such as the fans, lights and compressor.

Where is the fridge fuse?

The thermal fuse is typically located in one of two places - either inside the refrigerator behind the paneling, or in the rear bottom, next to the compressor. It's important to remember to unplug your refrigerator unit before attempting to locate your thermal fuse.

Do refrigerators have a reset button?

Most don't automatically reset. If the appliance has a reset button, it should just need to be held in for 30 seconds to correct the fridge. Some refrigerators, including Maytag and Amana, need to have the lock button and the reset or auto buttons held at the same time to reset the fridge.
