Possible Causes
Blown internal fuse on control board, faulty power cord, failed main control board, tripped household circuit or GFCI
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the outlet is not live before touching bare wires. Unplug the unit before opening any panels.
Steps:
- Check outlet: Plug a lamp or phone charger into the same outlet to confirm power. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks in the Antarctic Star power cord. If damaged, replace the cord set.
- Check internal fuse: Remove the rear panel and locate the small glass or ceramic fuse on or near the main control board. Test with a multimeter and replace with the same rating if blown.
- Board inspection: Look for burnt components or cracked solder joints on the control board. If the fuse blows again immediately, the board or compressor circuit may be shorted and requires professional diagnosis.
