Possible Causes
Shorted compressor windings, Shorted outdoor or indoor fan motor, Damaged power cable or terminal block, Faulty outdoor inverter PCB causing inrush current
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Danger: Repeated breaker tripping indicates a serious electrical fault. Do not repeatedly reset the breaker.
- 1. Inspect power cable and terminals: With power off, check for burnt or melted insulation at the indoor and outdoor terminal blocks.
- 2. Try different modes: If safe, attempt to run the unit in FAN-ONLY mode. If the breaker does not trip, the compressor circuit may be the issue.
- 3. Do not bypass protection: Never replace a breaker with a larger one or bypass it.
- 4. Call a technician: A professional must test insulation resistance and locate the shorted component.
