How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Only check live voltage if you are trained and have proper tools. Otherwise, call an electrician or HVAC technician.
- Check other appliances: If lights dim or other appliances struggle, there may be a utility voltage issue. Contact your power company.
- Inspect disconnect: With power off, open the outdoor disconnect and tighten all lugs. Look for heat discoloration or melted insulation.
- Breaker panel check: Have an electrician verify that the Luxaire AC circuit is properly sized and that connections are tight.
- Do not bypass protection: The low‑voltage protection prevents compressor damage. Do not attempt to override it.
