Quick Checks

Five minutes, before you book anything.

These won’t fix a real fault, but they rule out the causes that aren’t actually broken appliances.

01
Check the circuit breaker firstA tripped breaker looks identical to a dead unit from the outside — always the first check, every time.
02
Confirm the control panel isn’t just lockedMany units have a child-lock or control-lock feature that mimics a display failure.
03
Listen for the compressorIf you can hear it running but nothing’s cooling, that’s a different (and more specific) problem than true no-power — tell us this when you call.

FAQ

Before-you-call, answered.

Will checking these things myself void any warranty?

No — basic checks like the breaker and control lock don’t involve opening the unit or touching sealed components.

What should I tell the technician if I’ve already checked these?

Exactly what you found — it narrows the diagnostic significantly and can shorten the visit.
