Temperature will not damage unit. If a/c is needed during periods of low ambient temperatures controls should be added. The added controls will simulate normal temperatures by cycling or modulating the condenser fan motor to maintain proper condensing pressure/ temperature, etc. These are common on equipment, server and cellular site equipment where the a/c load exists even when it is -40 outside. lc
After playing with mine for a while, i found that resetting the master unit, followed by the outside temp sensor, made the master unit pick up the outside temp sensor.
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
Yes it`s ok. For a window unit outside temp does not matter. Thermostat operates according to the indoor heat load.
Open Circuit. Replace the sensor unit.
learn to read the chart for the type of freon you are running - a standard home unit will suck at 67 lbs and the high side will vary according to the outside ambient air temp - I get different readings in Las Vegas than I do in Portland!
If you are running unit hard to cool building, then the probable cause is it is working too hard. A residential unit is designed to maintain a set temp. if there is too much difference between inside temp and temp desired the unit will work too hard to " catch up ". solution, turn off ac unit, remove ice build up ( you can use a garden hose ) then set thermostat to 3-4 degrees below indoor temp. Once it has lowered temp, keep going in 3-4 degree increments until temp desired is reached.
the compressor is not running. Check your breakers.
If your air conditioner is running outside by not blowing cold air inside through your vent, your indoor coil is frozen. You will need to turn everything off and allow the unit to thaw out.
The problem is probably outside. Can`t tell you much more than that from here. The condenser unit outside was not running. I checked the circuit breaker box and found the 220 breaker had been switched off. Turned it back on and now it's running and I'm getting cool air.
the STARTER or capactor may be bad, i,d call a repair man
Look at the charging chart in the unit for the answer.
You mean the outside unit is running and blowing but the inside unit is not blowing? Shut it off! Who ain't blowing? Elaborate please..
