How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.

  • Clean condenser: Remove the grille and thoroughly clean the condenser coil with a brush and vacuum.
  • Check fan operation: Confirm the condenser fan motor runs smoothly and at full speed. Replace if noisy or slow.
