Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Refrigerant handling must be done by certified personnel. Do not attempt to open the refrigerant circuit yourself.
User-level checks:
- Visual inspection: Look for oil stains on flare connections at indoor and outdoor units—these can indicate leaks.
- Airflow: Ensure indoor and outdoor coils are clean and unobstructed; poor airflow can mimic low-charge symptoms.
- Operation test: Run the unit in cooling mode at a low set temperature and observe if the outdoor unit runs continuously but room does not cool.
Technician tasks (recommended):
- Leak test all joints and coils with appropriate tools.
- Repair leaks, evacuate system, and recharge with the correct type and quantity of refrigerant as specified on the Gorenje nameplate.
- Verify sensor readings and replace faulty pressure/temperature sensors if misreading.
If F0 appears, schedule service promptly to prevent compressor damage from running with low refrigerant.
