Hi @Minh Nguyễn Đức ,

1.Please check your search service instance status: Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Local.
And you could start the instance by PowerShell if it is not Online:

$hostA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity "server-name"  
 Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $hostA  

2.You could simply change the application pool to use SharePoint Web Services System for search service applications and check.

3.Enable the timer job and do IIS reset: Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service

4.Ensure the account has full control permissions on the Search service application and IIS account used by this service application
Central Admin > Security > Configure service accounts > Select the search service application > For "select account for this component" Select a account which has full permission

5.You could try to run Products Configuration Wizard.

For Reference: SharePoint Server: "The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component"
