How To Reset A Magic Chef Fridge (In Minutes)

Resetting your appliances from time to time is generally a well-advised practice. And your Magic Chef fridge will serve you for a long time when maintained regularly. 

Should any issues turn up, a factory reset may resolve them and allow the appliance to function correctly again.

On that note, here is a short guide on resetting your Magic Chef Fridge and ice maker. 

Resetting A Magic Chef Refrigerator

Magic Chef fridges do not have a dedicated reset button. So, how to reset it without a button? It’s pretty simple. 

First, unplug your Magic Chef refrigerator from the power socket. Alternatively, you can switch off the circuit breaker. Wait for 10-15 minutes and simply plug it back!

Reasons Why You Would Need To Reset Your Magic Chef Fridge

There could be a myriad of reasons why your fridge is causing issues. And the signs that your fridge may need a reset are:

• The refrigerator compartment is too cold, causing the food and other contents to freeze 
• The fridge doesn’t cool its contents enough, causing them to go rancid
• Water leaks from the fridge
• The compressor doesn’t turn off automatically or is not functioning at all

If you’re facing any of these issues with your refrigerator, a reset could fix them. If these problems are still not resolved, you may contact the Magic Chef customer support team that will send a professional for help.

Resetting A Magic Chef Ice Maker

Step 1: To reset the ice maker of your Magic Chef refrigerator, press the power button. 

Step 2: Once the power indicator light comes on, wait up to 15 minutes for the ice maker to dispense ice cubes. 

Step 3: After it does so, press the power button again to reset it. 

It’s important to note that you should wait another 3-5 minutes before using the ice maker again. This ensures that the freezer is ready for the next batch.

Cleaning A Magic Chef Ice Maker

You can utilize the time the ice maker takes to reset by cleaning it. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Start by removing the ice basket. 

Step 2: Next, remove the drain cap so that the water flows out. 

Step 3: You can clean out the ice maker thoroughly using a soft cloth and a detergent solution. 

Step 4: Dry the ice maker with a different clean cloth. 

Step 5: Place the drain cap back on. You can also clean the ice basket with a soft cloth. 

Step 6: Lastly, replace the ice basket, and you’re done.

General Troubleshooting Tips For Your Magic Chef Fridge

If your fridge does not function properly even after a reset, there are a few steps you could take before contacting the appliance repair professional.

1. Check the power supply – there is a chance that the fridge cannot turn on due to an inadequate supply of electricity.

2. Examine the electrical cord properly – if it is damaged, have it replaced by the repair professional.

3. If the fridge cools too much or too little, see if the temperature setting is proper and adjust accordingly.
