How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Verify the outlet with another device before assuming the cooler is faulty. Always unplug before opening panels.
Steps to check and fix:
- 1. Check external power: Confirm the wall outlet has power and that any circuit breakers or RCDs are not tripped.
- 2. Inspect power cord and plug: Look for visible damage. Replace the cord if any defects are found.
- 3. Access main PCB: Remove the appropriate panel to reach the control board. Check for an onboard fuse and test it with a multimeter. Replace only with the same type and rating.
- 4. Look for burnt components: If the fuse is blown repeatedly or there are burnt marks on the PCB, the board is likely defective and should be replaced.
- 5. Professional service: If you are not comfortable working with mains circuits, contact a qualified technician to diagnose and replace the control board.
