How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before inspection.
Steps:
- Improve ventilation: Ensure at least 10–15 cm clearance on all sides and above the unit. Do not enclose it in a cabinet.
- Clean condenser: Remove the rear cover and clean the condenser coil thoroughly.
- Check fan operation: Confirm the condenser fan motor starts reliably and runs at full speed. Replace if slow or intermittent.
