Possible Causes
Unstable mains voltage, Faulty internal SMPS on control PCB, Loose power connector, Intermittent thermal protection on compressor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting internal electrical connections.
- Verify mains supply: Use a multimeter to check that the outlet voltage is within the range specified on the Amica rating plate. Avoid using extension cords.
- Inspect power cord and plug: Look for signs of overheating or damage. Replace the cord set if any defects are found.
- Check internal connections: Remove the access panel and verify that all spade connectors on the compressor, fan, and PCB are tight.
- Monitor compressor: If the compressor starts and stops within seconds repeatedly, its internal overload may be tripping due to high current or mechanical issues. This requires professional diagnosis.
- PCB replacement: If voltage is stable and connections are good but E17 persists, the internal power supply on the control PCB may be faulty and the board should be replaced.
