How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Unplug the cooler before removing any covers.

  • 1. Confirm power supply:
    • Check that the outlet has power by plugging in another device.
    • Verify the cooler's power cord is fully inserted and not damaged.
  • 2. Check control settings:
    • Ensure the unit is not in standby or demo mode.
  • 3. Inspect compressor area:
    • Remove the rear lower panel.
    • Look for burned components on the main control board or around the compressor start relay.
  • 4. Test start relay and overload:
    • Remove them from the compressor and shake gently; rattling or burn marks indicate failure.
    • Replace with a new Lanbo start relay/overload kit if defective.
  • 5. If compressor still does not start and board is supplying no power:
    • The main control board may be faulty and should be replaced.
  • 6. If compressor hums loudly then trips:
    • The compressor may be locked and require professional sealed-system service or replacement.
