How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Unplug the unit immediately.
- Inspect power cord: Check the power cord for cuts, crushed sections, or burn marks. Replace if damaged.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of water around the rear electrical components and dry thoroughly.
- Isolate components: A technician can disconnect components (compressor, fans, etc.) one at a time to identify the shorted part.
- Professional service: Because this involves high voltage and potential fire risk, contact a qualified appliance technician to diagnose and replace the faulty component (e.g., compressor, fan motor, or main control board).
