How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching compressor or fan wiring. Sealed system work must be done by a certified technician.
- Check condenser fan: Plug in briefly and verify the fan runs when the compressor should be on. If not, test and replace the fan motor.
- Compressor operation: Listen for the compressor starting. A repeated clicking or humming without running suggests a start device or compressor issue.
- Coil cleanliness: Clean condenser coils with a brush and vacuum to improve heat dissipation.
- Professional service: If the compressor runs but no cooling occurs, or if there are signs of oil around tubing, contact a professional for sealed system diagnosis and repair.
