How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspecting internal wiring or boards.

Steps to stabilize operation:

  • Check power source: Avoid sharing the outlet with heavy appliances. Use a dedicated circuit if possible.
  • Inspect wiring harnesses: Access the control compartment and gently tug each connector to ensure it is fully seated. Look for signs of overheating or discoloration.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the control area is not blocked and that condenser airflow is unobstructed to reduce PCB temperature.
  • Monitor behavior: If resets continue after these checks, the main control PCB may be failing and should be replaced by a technician.

Warning: Do not attempt to modify wiring or bypass safety circuits to prevent resets.
