How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately turn off power at the breaker and disconnect if you smell burning or see smoke. Do not continue to operate the system.

  • Step 1 – Visual inspection: After allowing components to cool, open the access panels and look for burnt wires, melted insulation, or charred components.
  • Step 2 – Do not reset repeatedly: If a breaker has tripped, do not repeatedly reset it without finding and correcting the cause.
  • Step 3 – Call a technician: Electrical burning smells indicate a serious fault. A professional should locate and replace the failed component (motor, capacitor, board, or wiring) and verify safe operation.
