How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Repeated breaker trips indicate a serious electrical issue. Unplug the unit and do not continue to reset the breaker without finding the cause.

Steps to investigate:

  • Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, crushed sections, or burn marks. Replace the power cord set if damaged.
  • Visual inspection inside: With the unit unplugged, remove panels and look for burnt wires, melted insulation, or signs of arcing.
  • Isolate components (advanced): A technician can disconnect the compressor, fan motor, and other loads one by one to identify which component causes the trip when powered.
  • Replace faulty component: Replace any shorted motor, compressor, or burnt main control PCB as identified.
  • Professional help: Due to shock and fire risk, complex electrical faults should be handled by a qualified technician.
