How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before inspection.
Steps to address overheating:
- Improve ventilation: Ensure at least 20–30 cm (8–12 in) clearance around the unit. Do not place it in confined cabinets or closets.
- Clean filter and grilles: Wash the air filter and vacuum dust from intake and exhaust grilles.
- Clean condenser coil: Access the compressor compartment and gently clean the condenser coil fins with a soft brush and vacuum.
- Check fan performance: Confirm the fan runs continuously while the compressor is on. If it stops intermittently or runs slowly, replace the fan motor assembly.
- Compressor temperature: Carefully (after cooling) touch the compressor shell; if it is extremely hot to the touch during operation, the compressor may be failing and drawing excessive current. This requires professional diagnosis.
