- evaporator and thermistor faults on CRMR reach-ins
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Also, check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Beyond that, confirming an actual seized compressor versus a tripped protector needs an amp reading, and swapping a compressor means recovering and recharging refrigerant safely, which takes an experienced technician.
