Breaker trips and burning-smell events are high-risk symptoms. They can involve leakage, overcurrent stress, or heat damage at electrical points.
A symptom is just a starting point. The same problem could be a quick fix or a major failure. The paths below show the most common causes, but only a proper check can prove what is really wrong.
Leakage or short paths can trigger fast protective breaker action, especially during startup or load transitions.
The Fix: A proper diagnosis is required to confirm the exact root cause and determine the necessary repair.
Watch out: Repeated resets can mask the pattern while electrical risk accumulates.
Stressed compressor or motor startup behavior can draw unstable current and trigger breaker protection.
The Fix: A proper diagnosis is required to confirm the exact root cause and determine the necessary repair.
Watch out: Assuming breaker sensitivity alone can delay root-cause diagnosis and prolong risk.
High-resistance electrical points can overheat and create burning odor, sometimes before complete failure.
The Fix: A proper diagnosis is required to confirm the exact root cause and determine the necessary repair.
Watch out: Treating burning smell as normal dust burn-off can delay urgent intervention.
In some homes, the aircon shares circuit load with other high-draw devices. Combined peaks can trip the breaker even when internal aircon failure is not yet primary.
If this is the dominant pattern we will tell you before recommending major internal replacement scope.
No disassembly needed. Keep distance and observe safely:
The more specific you are, the faster we can advise one safe next step.
These are active electrical hazards. Stop use immediately.
