How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before opening electrical panels.
Steps:
- Measure voltage: Have a qualified electrician or technician measure voltage at the outdoor disconnect while the unit is trying to run.
- Check connections: Inspect and tighten lugs at the breaker panel and disconnect (with power OFF).
- Dedicated circuit: Ensure the MrCool unit is on a dedicated, properly sized circuit as specified in the installation manual.
If P1 persists: A line voltage regulator or electrical service upgrade may be needed. The unit itself is usually protecting itself correctly.
