Possible Causes

Overheating due to blocked airflow, Failing thermal protector on motor or compressor, Loose power cord connection, Faulty main control PCB relay

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspection.

  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the unit has adequate clearance on all sides and that intake/exhaust grilles are clean.
  • Check cord and plug: Inspect for looseness or heat marks. Replace the power cord if suspect.
  • Inspect motors: Check if the fan motor or compressor is extremely hot when the unit shuts off. A tripping thermal protector indicates a failing motor.
  • Internal connections: Open the housing and check for loose connectors on the main PCB and to the motors. Reseat all firmly.
  • Replace faulty parts: Replace an overheating fan motor or compressor as needed. If relays on the main control PCB chatter or fail intermittently, replace the board.
