Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening the rear cover.

  • Ventilation: Confirm adequate airflow around the unit and clean the condenser coil and fan.
  • Check power cord and plug: Wiggle the cord gently at the entry point and plug; if the unit cuts out, the cord or plug may be faulty and should be replaced.
  • Inspect internal connections: With the rear cover removed, check all spade connectors on the compressor, overload, and PCB for tightness.
  • Compressor overload: If the compressor is extremely hot when it stops, the overload may be tripping due to mechanical compressor issues. This typically requires compressor replacement by a technician.
