Possible Causes
Refrigerant leak in indoor or outdoor coil, Poor brazed joint or flare connection, Factory undercharge (rare), Faulty pressure or temperature sensor misreading low charge
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Refrigerant is under high pressure and must only be handled by licensed personnel. Do not attempt to tighten flare nuts while the system is pressurized.
- Step 1 – Visual inspection for leaks: With power OFF, inspect all accessible flare joints and coil ends for oily residue or corrosion. Note any suspected leak points for the technician.
- Step 2 – Check indoor and outdoor coils: Look for signs of oil staining or hissing sounds when the unit was last running.
- Step 3 – Do not repeatedly restart: Running the compressor with very low refrigerant can cause overheating and damage.
- Step 4 – Call a certified HVAC technician: They will perform a leak test, repair leaks, evacuate the system, and recharge with the exact refrigerant type and weight specified by Gree. They may also verify the accuracy of the pressure/temperature sensors.
