How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before inspecting internal components.

  • Check connectors: Reseat all sensor and pump connectors on the control board.
  • Monitor pump: During operation, verify that water is consistently flowing over the evaporator. Replace the pump if it stops intermittently.
  • Improve cooling: Ensure condenser and fan are clean to prevent thermal shutdowns.
  • Control board: If relays click but components do not always start, the board may have failing relays and should be replaced.
