Answer

Mike, There is not a reset button on the unit. You will want to check to see if the fans are running, lights on, compressor running and see if the compressor is hot or cold. If the compressor is warm, then the unit may be in a defrost cycle if no fans are running. Let sit for about 45 minutes and if the fans and compressor do not come back on then you may have a bad defrost board. Try to unplug and let it sit for 15 minutes to reset everything and then plug back up. If unit still does not come on the defrost control or themostat would need to be replaced.
