How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspecting electrical connections.
Step-by-step:
- Check power cord and plug: Ensure the plug fits firmly in the outlet and the cord is not loose.
- Improve ventilation: Clean vents and condenser, and ensure adequate clearance around the unit.
- Observe compressor: If it runs briefly then clicks off repeatedly, the overload protector may be tripping due to overheating or internal compressor issues.
When to call a technician: Intermittent shutdowns often require testing the compressor, overload protector, and control PCB.
