How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before touching compressor wiring. Sealed system work should be done by professionals.
Steps:
- Check wiring: Inspect the wires and connectors on the compressor terminals and start relay for looseness or burning.
- Listen for clicks: When powered, repeated clicking from the compressor area can indicate a bad start relay or overload.
- Replace start relay: If accessible and available as a separate part, replace the compressor start relay/overload assembly with an OBH Nordica-compatible component.
- Professional diagnosis: If the compressor still does not start, it may be internally failed and require professional replacement.
