Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, Failed condenser fan motor, Low refrigerant charge in sealed system, Weak compressor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or accessing the rear compartment.

  • Clean condenser: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum dust from the condenser coil. Use a soft brush to clean between fins.
  • Check condenser fan: Confirm the rear fan runs when the compressor is on. If not, see the condenser fan fault section and replace the condenser fan motor if needed.
  • Ventilation: Ensure at least the manufacturer-recommended clearance around the cooler and do not enclose it tightly in cabinetry without ventilation.
  • Professional service: If the compressor runs and fans are working but cooling is still weak, a sealed system issue (refrigerant leak or restriction) is likely and must be repaired by a certified technician.
