How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips. Turn off power and call a qualified technician if you suspect a short.
- Step 1 – Visual inspection: With power OFF, inspect indoor and outdoor wiring for obvious damage or burnt components.
- Step 2 – Isolate components (technician-level): A professional can disconnect compressor and fan motors one by one to identify which component causes the trip.
- Step 3 – Replace faulty parts: Replace any shorted motor, compressor, or capacitor with Ariston-approved parts.
- Step 4 – Correct breaker size: Ensure the breaker rating matches the unit's nameplate current. Oversized breakers are unsafe; undersized will nuisance-trip.
