How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not repeatedly cycle power rapidly; allow time between attempts.

  • Rest period: If the unit was transported on its side or at an angle, leave it upright and unplugged for at least 4–24 hours to allow compressor oil to settle.
  • Then power on: After the rest period, plug in and allow several hours for cooling to begin. Listen for compressor start.
  • Check for error codes: If the display shows a compressor-related error (e.g., E5), follow the corresponding troubleshooting steps.
  • Inspect start device: If the compressor hums and clicks off, the start device may have been damaged during transport and should be inspected and replaced if necessary.

If the unit still does not cool after these steps, professional diagnosis is recommended.
