How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before touching compressor components.
Steps:
- 1. Check voltage: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage within the range specified on the Vremi rating label.
- 2. Inspect PTC relay and overload: Remove the rear cover and examine the compressor PTC start relay and overload protector for heat damage. Replace if suspect.
- 3. Allow cooling: Let the compressor cool for at least 30 minutes, then try again. Persistent clicking usually indicates a start circuit or compressor issue.
Action: If replacing the relay and overload does not resolve the issue, the compressor is likely failing and requires professional evaluation.
