How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspection.

  • Check power cord and outlet: Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet and the cord is not loose or damaged.
  • Improve ventilation: Make sure vents are clear and the unit has adequate space around it.
  • Inspect internal wiring: Remove the rear panel and check for loose connectors on the control board and compressor.
  • Clean dust: Dust off the control board and internal components to improve cooling.
  • Monitor behavior: If the unit still shuts off and feels very hot, the thermal protector or compressor may be failing and should be evaluated by a technician.
