Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator. Compressor and inverter circuits carry high voltage; do not probe live unless you are qualified.
Basic checks:
- Pull the unit out and remove the rear lower panel.
- Inspect the compressor area for loose connectors, burnt smells, or damaged wiring.
- Ensure the inverter module (if present) is firmly mounted and its plugs are fully seated.
Reset:
- Leave the unit unplugged for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and listen for the compressor starting after a short delay.
Important: Diagnosing compressor and inverter faults requires specialized tools and knowledge of sealed systems. If EC persists, contact an authorized technician; do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.
