How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the compressor.
- Check voltage: Ensure the outlet provides correct voltage and is not shared with heavy loads.
- Replace start device: Remove and inspect the compressor start relay and overload. Replace with the correct Ignis kit if suspect.
If the compressor still fails to start with a new relay, the compressor may be mechanically locked and requires professional replacement.
