How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If you suspect house wiring issues, consult a licensed electrician. Always unplug the unit before opening panels.
Steps to address intermittent shutdowns:
- 1. Check plug and outlet: Ensure the plug fits tightly and the outlet is not loose. Avoid using adapters or extension cords.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Flex the cord gently while the unit is running; if it cuts out, replace the "power cord".
- 3. Examine main board: Remove the access panel and inspect the main PCB for signs of overheating or cracked solder joints. Reseat connectors.
- 4. Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the control area to prevent overheating.
Note: If the problem persists, the main control board may need replacement.
