Malfunction Due to Control Board (PCB) Failure

Likely causes

PCB malfunction from faulty electrolytic capacitor

Check: Visually inspect PCB for bulging capacitors, burn marks, or cracks

What to do: Visually inspect PCB for bulging capacitors, burn marks, or cracks → Measure PCB input/output voltages → Verify relay operation → Replace with same specification PCB → Confirm short cycling stops after replacement

Relay contact failure

Check: Measure PCB input/output voltages

What to do: Measure PCB input/output voltages → Verify relay operation → Replace with same specification PCB → Confirm short cycling stops after replacement

Solder crack or broken PCB trace

Check: Verify relay operation

What to do: Verify relay operation → Replace with same specification PCB → Confirm short cycling stops after replacement

Field tip

If the compressor shuts off randomly without any protection device activating, suspect a control board failure.
