How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Immediately unplug the unit and do not continue to operate it until the source is identified. Risk of fire or electric shock.

Inspect wiring: Remove panels and look for melted insulation, burn marks, or discolored connectors. Repair or replace damaged wiring and terminals.
Check motors: Feel (carefully) near the compressor and fan motors after brief operation. Excessive heat or noise indicates impending failure; replace the suspect motor.
Tighten connections: Verify all terminal block and ground connections are tight to prevent arcing.
Professional service: If you cannot locate the source, contact an authorized Electrolux technician before using the unit again.
