Only fans work on split system model ls-k2463hl earth breaker trips when compresor tries to start

in most cases like this (circuit breaker tripping at compressor switch On ) compressor is burnt out ! A Meg ohms test Leakage to earth would confirm this

I have hitachi rotary 7 year ild fitted in Out door split unitbut nowafter 1o minutes working it automatically trip.what should we do

If it's that new, it should be warranty issue ?

Check your circuit breakers and fuses. If it tripped breakers or blew fuses it may be because the outdoor coil is stopped up with dirt. If it is wash it out real good with a water sprayer.

If the circuit breaker tripped,then the unit is trying to work and the remote is certainly telling the unit operate, otherwise it could never trip the breaker if it did not receive a signal from the remote. Your problem may be with the outside unit that te compressor is stalled (having a hard time starting ) and this will cause the breaker to trip. You need a porfessional to diagnose if it is the starter control, or relay, or capacitor, or bad compressor, or bad terminals.

you possibly have a motor that the windings are bad. These windings swell when power flows through them and in turn the swelling presses onto the shaft causing the problem. Also, I would replace the capacitor first in the event it is bad If the motor runs properly then that capacitor is the only problem. If it doesn't cure the fan problem then the motor is going out. If you change the motor the capacitor will also need to be changed anyway so try changing capacitor first. Good Luck hope I helped you some

Sounds like a wiring problem between the outdoor unit and the house. You would be surprised what I have come across in 30+ years of A/C work.
But it could also be the compressor.

I will need to know answers to the following -

Does the compressor have a soft start (2 wire capacitor looking device that attaches to the run capacitor), hard start (relay and capacitor), or just the run capacitor?

Were the run capacitors and start components replaced when the compressor was replaced?

Is the breaker a GFI breaker, or just a standard breaker?

Rain or humidity is not usually a factor, but it may be something.

Reply back what you find.

Call them yourself. Let them know your compressor is tripping your breakers. Also, ask how to obtain parts for your system. It's rediculous an hvac tech cannot get advise from ge.

UNPLUG!! CHECK THE RELAY THATS is in the back conected to the compresor if it has a white relay then its proably bad . you can take it off shake it and if it sounds like a salt or pepper shaker .then replace that. but if the compresor keeps on clicking the you have a bad compresor . and it exceeds the cost of the fridge

This is a typical symptom of having an A/C system low on freon if it cycles on and off when first turned on or very soon afterward. All types of A/C units for home and auto have a low pressure cut-out switch that will disengage the compressor when the freon level drops low enough to cause damage to the compressor. The unit needs recharging with the proper amount of freon to correct the problem. If it's an automobile A/C system and the freon level is okay, it could be a faulty compressor clutch or coil.
