How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: This is a potentially dangerous fault. Unplug the unit immediately and do not repeatedly reset the breaker.
Basic checks (for experienced users only):
- Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage. Replace the cord if any defects are found.
- Check for moisture: Remove the rear panel and inspect the main PCB and wiring for signs of water ingress. Dry thoroughly if minor moisture is present.
- Smell for burning: A burnt smell near the compressor, PCB, or motors indicates a serious fault.
- Professional service: Because this involves mains voltage and potential fire risk, contact an authorized OBH Nordica service center for diagnosis and repair.
