Possible Causes
Failed start relay, Weak compressor, Low voltage supply, Overheating overload protector
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the compressor area.
- Verify voltage: If possible, have a qualified person check that the outlet provides correct voltage under load.
- Clean condenser and improve airflow: Overheating can cause overload trips; clean coils and ensure ventilation.
- Inspect start relay: Remove the relay from the compressor terminals and shake it gently; if it rattles or smells burnt, it is likely faulty.
- Replace relay and overload: Install an Asko-compatible start device kit. If the compressor still fails to start, sealed system service is required.
