How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker; this is a fire hazard. High-voltage diagnosis should be done by a professional.
- Step 1 – Inspect wiring: With power OFF, check indoor and outdoor wiring for obvious shorts, burnt insulation, or loose connections.
- Step 2 – Isolate cause: If possible, disconnect the outdoor unit and see if the indoor unit alone trips the breaker (qualified person only). This can help isolate indoor vs outdoor fault.
- Step 3 – Professional testing: A technician should measure compressor and fan motor resistance, and inspect the inverter PCB for shorts.
- Step 4 – Correct circuit sizing: Verify the breaker and wire size match Klimaire's installation manual for your model.
