How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting internal wiring.

Steps to troubleshoot intermittent shutdowns:

1. Check power cord and plug: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and the cord is not loose at the strain relief.
2. Improve ventilation: Make sure vents are clear and the unit is not overheating.
3. Inspect internal connections: Remove the rear panel and gently tug on connectors to ensure they are secure on the PCB and compressor.
4. Observe pattern: If shutdowns occur when the compressor starts, a failing compressor or overload protector may be tripping; this requires professional diagnosis.

Note: Repeated self-resets can damage components; if basic checks do not resolve the issue, seek service.

Unit frequently shuts off mid-cycle and restarts or resets itself.
