If the LCDI plug doesn’t function correctly during the test‚ it’s crucial to avoid using the air conditioner and contact Everstar customer support for assistance․ A faulty LCDI plug can pose a significant safety risk and should be addressed promptly․ Always prioritize safety when using electrical appliances‚ and never attempt to bypass or disable the LCDI plug․
