Possible Causes
Low refrigerant charge due to leak, Blocked capillary tube or restriction, Faulty evaporator or condenser temperature sensor, Main PCB misinterpreting pressure/temperature relationship
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit. Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system yourself.
- Clean coils and filter: Ensure both evaporator and condenser coils are clean and the air filter is washed and dried. Poor airflow can mimic refrigerant issues.
- Check for icing: After running briefly, inspect the evaporator coil. Heavy ice buildup or only partial frosting can indicate low charge or restriction.
- Sensor inspection: Verify that the coil temperature sensors are firmly attached and their wiring is intact. Replace any suspect coil temperature sensors.
- Professional diagnosis: If EC persists, a licensed technician should check system pressures, locate leaks, and recharge or repair the sealed system as needed.
