Possible Causes

Seized or mechanically failing compressor, Faulty compressor contactor, Incorrect supply voltage or phase imbalance, Failed compressor start capacitor (on non-inverter models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: This involves high voltage and high current. Turn off power at the breaker and do not attempt to open sealed compressor terminals yourself.

User checks:

  • Verify supply voltage: Have a qualified electrician confirm that the supply to the Fairland unit matches the nameplate (single-phase or three-phase, correct voltage).
  • Listen for noises: When attempting to start (briefly), note if the compressor hums loudly then trips, or if nothing happens at all. Then switch power off again.

Technician tasks:

  • Test the compressor windings, contactor, and any start/run capacitors (if fitted).
  • Measure running current and check for mechanical lock or internal compressor damage.
  • Replace the compressor or associated starting components as required.
