Unit frequently trips the household circuit breaker when starting or during operation.

Safety first: Repeated breaker trips indicate a potential fire hazard. Do not keep resetting the breaker without finding the cause.

Steps:

• 1. Verify circuit rating: Ensure the AC is on a dedicated circuit with the correct amperage as specified on the Koldfront nameplate.
• 2. Inspect cord and plug: Look for heat damage, discoloration, or loose prongs. Replace the cord if damaged.
• 3. Try another outlet: If possible and safe, test the unit on a different circuit with the correct rating to rule out a bad breaker.
• 4. Internal inspection: With power disconnected, inspect internal wiring for chafing, burns, or loose connections.
• 5. Professional testing: A technician should measure current draw of the compressor and fans and check for shorts. Component or compressor replacement may be required.
