Possible Causes

Undersized wiring to the outdoor unit, Voltage drop due to a long cable run, Utility supply issues, Loose neutral connection.

Safety first: Disconnect power before inspecting wiring.

Measure voltage under load: Have an electrician check voltage at the unit while it is trying to start.
Inspect cable size: Ensure the supply cable meets SMEG installation specifications.
Tighten connections: Check and tighten all terminal screws, especially neutral.
Contact utility if needed: If building voltage is consistently low, the power provider must correct it.

Do not bypass low-voltage protection; it prevents damage to the compressor and electronics.
