I own several microwaves (that frequently start to work with the door open... seemly shitty quality switches) and a fridge.
The fridge in particular has a "easy defrost" button, what it do is turn off the fridge until the fridge is defrosted, the problem is that there is no way to undo it, and the button is in a place that is easy to bump, if you press it accidentally, your food still spoil...
Also the button is prone to get stuck, when I called a technician, I started by saying the problem, and he figured that it was a eletrolux fridge on his own, the problem is really common (and let's say, that a fridge that shuts down is one of the worst problems to have on a fridge, much worse than failing lights or door hinge issues, those are annoyances, but don't waste food).
Also eletrolux never fixed my stuff, both the fridges and the microwaves I ended fixing myself, every time I contact eletrolux it is a sad thing, they are so bad that I don't even get disappointed anymore.
Also when I disassembled the fridge, it was one of the most shoddy constructions I ever saw, stuff glued with tape, misaligned plastic parts, missing bolts (that cannot be installed anyway, because the previously mentioned misaligned plastic parts), and so on...
When it happens again, pull the plug on the fridge, wait 5 minutes and then plug it in again. Your food will likely not be spoiled yet and the microcontroller will be re-set. With some luck it will then be a fridge again instead of a cup-board.
It is not a microcontroller, it is a mechanical switch to the engine power. My "fix" was to mechanically force the switch to a reset position, and the issue is that frequently the switch get stuck in place.
Theoretically yes,.but in Brazil.this never work. For example the Toyota Corolla accelerating by itself happened a lot in Brazil too, yet here Toyota fixed no car and didn't paid anyone.
