Steps:

  • Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil and fan area.
  • Check condenser fan: Ensure the fan runs when the compressor is on. Replace if not operating.
  • Improve ventilation: Increase clearance around the unit and ensure built-in installations follow JennAir's airflow requirements.
