      If the unit has overheated, allow it to cool down with the fan on. If you are using a remote control, ensure the Output (Contactor) switch is in the Remote position and the remote control is properly connected. If not using a remote, put the switch in the On position. If the issue persists, check, repair, or replace the remote device.
