Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigerant system yourself.
Confirm airflow and cleanliness:
- Clean the condenser coil and fan to rule out airflow issues.
Observe frost pattern:
- After 10–15 minutes of operation, inspect the evaporator. If only a small section frosts while the rest remains warm, a sealed system problem is likely.
Sealed system repairs (refrigerant recharge, capillary replacement, compressor replacement) require specialized tools and certification. Contact a professional technician.
