How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration circuit. Refrigerant handling must be done by certified personnel.

Steps:

  • Basic checks: Clean air filters and coils to ensure proper airflow. Poor airflow can mimic refrigerant issues.
  • Listen for compressor: When the unit tries to start, listen for the compressor. If it never starts or clicks off quickly, there may be a pressure or overload issue.
  • Check for oil stains: With covers removed (unit unplugged), look for oily residue on refrigerant tubing or joints, which can indicate a leak.
  • Professional diagnosis: If F0 persists, contact an authorized Olimpia Splendid service center. They can connect gauges, check pressures, and test any pressure sensors. Repairs may involve leak detection, recharging, or component replacement.
