How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately. Unplug the unit and keep it unplugged until the fault is found.

Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, crushed sections, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
Check for moisture: Remove panels and inspect for water around the control board, compressor, and wiring. Dry thoroughly and correct any leaks.
Isolate components (advanced): A technician can disconnect the compressor, fan, and pump one at a time to identify the shorted component.
Replace faulty part: Replace any motor or board that shows signs of burning or tests shorted to ground.
Professional service: If you are not experienced with electrical diagnostics, contact a qualified appliance technician.
