Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system.
- Check basic power: Confirm the outlet has 120 V AC and the breaker is not tripped. Avoid extension cords.
- Listen for operation: After restoring power, listen for compressor and fan operation. Silence with only lights on suggests a control or compressor issue.
- Inspect rear components: Remove the rear access panel and look for burnt wiring or a tripped thermal overload on the compressor.
- Technician recommended: Diagnosing compressor windings, inverter boards, and sealed system pressures requires specialized tools. Contact a Wolf-authorized service provider.
