How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before cleaning or opening the unit.

Steps:

  • Improve ventilation: Ensure at least 10–15 cm clearance around the unit and that vents are not blocked by walls or other appliances.
  • Clean condenser: Dust off the condenser coil and fan area to improve cooling.
  • Check power source: Avoid using long or thin extension cords. Plug directly into a grounded wall outlet.
