Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting electrical or compressor components.
- Clean condenser and ensure airflow: Remove dust from the condenser coil and verify that the fan runs freely.
- Check ambient temperature: Ensure the unit is not installed in a very hot, enclosed space.
- Inspect mains connections: Tighten screws on the terminal block and check the plug and cord for signs of arcing.
- Monitor compressor: After restarting, feel the compressor casing periodically. If it becomes extremely hot and then the unit shuts off, the compressor or start components may be failing and require professional diagnosis.
- Replace PCB if necessary: If power and cooling components are good but shutdowns persist, the main control board may be intermittently failing.
