Possible Causes
Overheating due to poor ventilation, Faulty temperature sensor intermittently opening, Loose wiring to compressor or fan, Control board glitch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspection.
- Improve ventilation: Move the unit to an open area with good airflow and ensure vents are not blocked.
- Check fan operation: Confirm that the condenser fan runs continuously while the compressor is on. Intermittent fan operation can cause overheating and shutdown.
- Inspect wiring: Look for loose or partially connected plugs on the compressor, fan, and temperature sensor harnesses. Reseat all connectors.
- Perform a hard reset: Unplug the unit for 10–15 minutes, then restart and observe whether the cycle completes.
If the problem persists, a failing temperature sensor or control board may be cutting the cycle short and should be tested and replaced.
