How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Repeated breaker tripping indicates a serious fault. Do not repeatedly reset the breaker.
Steps:
- Visual inspection: With power off, inspect indoor and outdoor terminal blocks for burnt wires or melted insulation.
- Isolate components: A technician can disconnect compressor and fan motors one at a time to identify the shorted component.
- Do not upsize breaker: Never install a larger breaker than specified on the Blaupunkt nameplate to stop tripping.
- Professional repair: Replace the faulty component (compressor, fan motor, or PCB) as identified by testing.
