Possible Causes

Insufficient clearance around unit, Blocked rear grille, Dust-clogged condenser coil, Failed or weak condenser fan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and allow hot components to cool before cleaning.

  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the cooler has the minimum clearances specified by Aobosi at the sides, back, and top. Do not enclose it tightly in cabinetry without proper airflow.
  • Clean condenser: Remove the rear panel and vacuum dust from the condenser coil. Use a soft brush to loosen stubborn dirt.
  • Check condenser fan: Verify that the fan spins freely and runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it is slow, noisy, or not running.
  • Re-test cooling: After cleaning and ensuring good airflow, monitor cabinet temperature over several hours.
