How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Repeated tripping indicates a serious electrical fault. Do not keep resetting the breaker. Isolate power and call a qualified electrician if you are not experienced.
Steps to check:
- Inspect cable and plug: Look for visible damage or burn marks. Replace if compromised.
- Check terminal box: Open the motor terminal cover and look for water, corrosion, or burnt connections. Dry and clean if minor; if severe, replace the motor.
- Insulation test: Have an electrician perform insulation resistance tests between live conductors and earth.
- Replace faulty components: If the motor or control module is shorted, replace the defective DAB component.
