How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately. Risk of fire or shock.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect cord: Unplug and check the power cord for cuts or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
  • 2. Check for moisture: Look inside for signs of water leaks onto the control board or wiring. Dry thoroughly and fix any leaks before retrying.
  • 3. Isolate components (advanced): A technician can disconnect fan, pump, and compressor one at a time to identify the shorted component. Replace the faulty motor or compressor as needed.
