Possible Causes

Refrigerant leak in indoor or outdoor coil, Loose flare connections on Bosch line set, Micro-leaks at service valves, Improper initial charge during installation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not attempt to add refrigerant yourself.

User checks:

  • Look for oil stains: Inspect flare joints and coils for oily residue, which indicates leaks.
  • Listen for hissing: In a quiet environment, listen near joints for hissing sounds.

Resolution: A licensed Bosch technician must locate and repair leaks, evacuate, and recharge the system to the specified amount. Continued operation with low refrigerant can damage the compressor.
