Possible Causes

Refrigerant leak in line set flare connections, Leak in indoor evaporator coil, Leak in outdoor condenser coil, Severely dirty coils reducing heat transfer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not attempt to open the refrigerant circuit yourself. Only licensed HVAC technicians may handle refrigerant.

  • Step 1 – Check mode and setpoint: Ensure the Klimaire unit is set to COOL mode with a temperature at least 3–5°F (2–3°C) below room temperature.
  • Step 2 – Verify fan speed and louvers: Set fan to HIGH and confirm louvers are open and directing air into the room.
  • Step 3 – Clean filters and coils: Wash indoor filters and inspect both indoor and outdoor coils for dirt buildup. Clean as needed.
  • Step 4 – Inspect for frost or ice: Look at the indoor coil for icing. Ice often indicates low refrigerant or airflow issues.
  • Step 5 – Professional leak and charge check: If airflow is good but cooling is weak, contact a Klimaire-qualified technician to check refrigerant pressures, locate leaks, and recharge the system.
