How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the rear or control panel.
Steps:
- Confirm power: Verify that the outlet has power and that the unit is switched on and not in demo mode (if applicable).
- Check temperature setting: Ensure the setpoint is below room temperature so the unit should be calling for cooling.
- Inspect control board: Remove the rear panel and look for blown fuses or burnt components on the main PCB.
- Check compressor start components: Inspect the compressor start relay and overload protector for damage. Replace if burnt or rattling.
- Test continuity: With power off, check wiring continuity from the control board to the compressor and fans.
- Replace main PCB: If wiring and start components are good but the board does not send power to the compressor or fan, replace the main control board.
Note: If you are not comfortable testing live voltages, contact a professional technician.
