How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect mains power before accessing the compressor compartment.
- Check supply voltage: Use a multimeter to ensure the outlet voltage is within Grundig's specified range.
- Inspect start relay and overload: Remove the compressor terminal cover and examine the start device for burn marks or rattling pieces inside.
- Replace start device: Install a new Grundig compressor start relay and overload protector.
- Monitor operation: After replacement, run the unit and listen. If the compressor still clicks and fails to start, the compressor itself may be failing and will require professional replacement.
