How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately; risk of fire or shock. Unplug the unit before inspection.
- Inspect cord and plug: Check the Adler power cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections; replace if damaged.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of water leaks near electrical components and correct any leaks before proceeding.
- Isolate components: A qualified person can disconnect loads (compressor, pumps, fan) one at a time to identify which causes the breaker to trip.
- Replace shorted part: Replace the faulty Adler component (often compressor or pump) that is causing overcurrent. Compressor replacement requires a licensed technician.
