How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or moving it.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure that intake and exhaust grilles are not blocked and that the unit has adequate clearance on all sides.
- Clean condenser: Vacuum dust from the condenser coil to reduce overheating.
- Check power supply: Avoid using long extension cords or overloaded power strips. Plug directly into a grounded wall outlet.
- Inspect sensors: If accessible, check evaporator and ambient thermistors for secure mounting and intact wiring. Replace if damaged.
- Monitor behavior: After maintenance, observe whether the unit completes a full freeze and harvest cycle. Persistent issues may require professional diagnosis.
