Possible Causes

Weak compressor, Failed start relay, Overload protector tripping, Low supply voltage

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.
