Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.

  • Clean filter and grills: Remove and clean the air filter. Vacuum dust from intake and outlet grills.
  • Check clearance: Ensure at least 20–30 cm of space around the unit for proper airflow.
  • Verify fan operation: When restarted, confirm the fan runs at full speed. If the fan is slow or stops, the motor may be failing.
  • Monitor runtime: If the unit still shuts off quickly, an internal thermal protector may be tripping due to a failing compressor or fan. Professional diagnosis is recommended.
