Steps to test what`s wrong with air dehumidifier.
So problem is that after four years of work my air dehumidifier started to pop breakers. i dismantled it and cleaned and all, checked all electronic parts - one is panel where buttons/controls are, and second is with all the inputs outputs of signals - they don`t have any caps busted, no melted parts, nothing that shows that boards have some problems, but if i plug in - sometimes breakers pop immediately, sometimes it works for some time(fan is working display shows humidity) but pops breakers in some minutes in work - that's why i thought there is problem with wires that connect compressor with other parts, because maybe when compressor strats to work it shorts, but there is not problems with wiring. Second guesses was that there is short from AC source, but it isn't. In Control/ Input-output board there are four relays - maybe one of them is bad? Then there where is compressor - there is one big cylindrical thing - i think it is some big capacitor. Cannot make more checks because it breaks home breakers and also power lines breakers - so for every test i need to go out to streets breaker box to reset them. I have multimeter and know something about electronics, but i just don't know how to attack this problem right.
So my question is - please - give advice of pursuing troubleshooting this situation.
