How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the compressor area. Do not attempt to open the sealed system.
Step-by-step:
- Check compressor operation: After turning the unit on, listen near the back. The compressor should hum steadily. Repeated clicking without running suggests a start component issue.
- Feel condenser: Carefully touch the condenser coil after 10–15 minutes of operation. It should be warm. If both condenser and evaporator stay at room temperature, the compressor is not pumping.
- Ventilation and cleaning: Ensure vents are clear and the condenser is clean to rule out simple overheating.
When to call a technician: No cooling almost always requires professional service to test the compressor, PTC starter, and refrigerant charge.
