Possible Causes

Dirty indoor air filter, Dirty indoor or outdoor coil, Low refrigerant charge, Incorrect unit sizing for room

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before cleaning coils or opening covers.

  • Step 1 – Clean indoor filters and coil:
    • Remove and wash filters.
    • If the evaporator coil is dusty, gently clean with a soft brush or approved coil cleaner.
  • Step 2 – Clean outdoor unit:
    • Remove debris and clean the condenser fins.
  • Step 3 – Check settings and room conditions:
    • Set mode to COOL, fan to HIGH, and temperature at least 5°C below room temperature.
    • Close doors and windows; reduce heat sources (ovens, direct sun) where possible.
  • Step 4 – Evaluate capacity:
    • Compare room size to unit BTU rating; if undersized, the unit will struggle in extreme heat.
  • Step 5 – Technician service: If performance is still poor, a technician should check refrigerant charge and system pressures.
