Kismile Short Cycling of Compressor

Unit short cycles: compressor turns on and off frequently in short intervals.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overheating compressor, Faulty control board logic, Incorrect sensor placement near cold air stream, Power supply fluctuations

Safety: Unplug before internal inspection.

Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit to prevent compressor overheating.
Check sensor location: Make sure the cabinet temperature sensor is not directly in the cold air discharge, which can cause rapid cycling.
Power stability: Avoid sharing the outlet with high-draw appliances that may cause voltage dips.
Replace control board: If cycling remains abnormal after sensor and ventilation checks, the main control board may need replacement.
