Possible Causes

Severely dirty condenser, Failing condenser fan motor, Restricted airflow around condenser, Water-cooled condenser scale buildup

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power and shut off water (for water-cooled) before servicing.

  • Deep clean condenser: Use coil cleaner and a fin comb if necessary to restore airflow through the coil.
  • Check fan motor: Confirm the fan starts reliably and runs at full speed. Replace if slow, noisy, or intermittent.
  • Verify clearances: Ensure nothing is stored against the condenser side of the unit.
  • Water-cooled units: Have a technician descale the condenser if water flow and temperature rise indicate fouling.

When to call a technician: Persistent H2 after cleaning and fan replacement suggests a sealed system or high-pressure control issue.
