How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing panels. Do not attempt to open refrigerant lines.
- Check compressor operation: Plug in and listen: the compressor should run with a steady hum. If it never starts or clicks repeatedly, suspect the start relay or compressor.
- Inspect start components: With power off, remove the compressor cover and check the start relay and overload for burns or cracks. Replace if damaged.
- Feel condenser coil: After 10–15 minutes of operation, the condenser should be warm. If it remains cool and the compressor is running, the sealed system may be low on refrigerant or blocked.
Sealed system repairs (refrigerant, compressor, capillary) must be performed by a licensed refrigeration technician.
