Possible Causes
Weak start relay, Failing overload protector, Low supply voltage, Internal compressor mechanical fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the compressor terminals. Capacitors and components can store charge.
Steps:
- 1. Check power source: Plug directly into a dedicated wall outlet. Avoid extension cords.
- 2. Inspect start components: Remove the compressor terminal cover and examine the start relay and overload for signs of burning or rattling. Replace as a kit if suspect.
- 3. Allow cooling: Let the compressor cool for at least 30 minutes, then restart. Persistent rapid cycling after new start components suggests internal compressor failure, which requires professional replacement.
