How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Important: High-pressure and refrigerant issues are hazardous. Only certified technicians should work on the sealed system.

User checks:

  • Turn OFF power and inspect the condenser coil and air passages. Clean dust and debris with a soft brush or low-pressure air.
  • Ensure that the unit has adequate clearance around it as specified by Drazice for proper airflow.
  • Reset the unit by switching OFF/ON after a 5–10 minute cool-down.

If H4 reoccurs, a professional must check the high-pressure switch, refrigerant charge, and expansion device, and may need to replace components.
