Compressor indicator light won't cut off and the air conditioner is cool but not cold

If the compressor indicator light on your portable air conditioner won't turn off and the cooling performance has decreased, there may be a few potential causes for this issue:
1. Dirty air filters: Check the air filters of your portable air conditioner and ensure they are clean. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and reduce the cooling efficiency of the unit. If the filters are dirty, clean or replace them according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Blocked air vents: Verify that the air vents on the portable air conditioner are not obstructed by any objects or debris. Clear away any obstructions to allow proper airflow.
3. Insufficient cooling capacity: Consider the size and cooling capacity of your portable air conditioner compared to the room it is being used in. If the air conditioner is undersized for the room, it may struggle to cool it adequately, especially if the ambient temperature is high or the room has poor insulation.
4. Dual hose configuration: Although dual hoses are generally more efficient than single hose configurations, there could be issues with the hoses themselves. Ensure that both hoses are properly connected and not kinked or damaged. Check for any air leaks around the hose connections and use sealing tape if necessary.
5. Condenser coil cleanliness: The condenser coil of the air conditioner can accumulate dirt and debris over time, reducing its cooling capacity. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to access and clean the condenser coil. Ensure that the unit is disconnected from the power source before attempting any maintenance.
6. Low refrigerant levels: If the air conditioner is low on refrigerant, it can affect its cooling performance. Low refrigerant levels typically indicate a leak, and it's recommended to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.
7. Faulty compressor or sensors: If none of the above steps resolve the problem, there may be an issue with the compressor or the temperature sensors within the air conditioner. In such cases, it is advisable to contact the manufacturer's customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance and potential repairs.
Remember to consult the user manual specific to your portable air conditioner model for detailed troubleshooting steps and maintenance instructions.

Portable Air Conditioning great portable air cooling

Portable air conditioning offers you the convenience of mobility. All you have to do is roll the portable air conditioner to the room in which it's needed. Install an exhaust hose out a window or other opening (everything you need is provided) and turn it on. The installation process for these units is very simple. These portable air conditioning units are built small enough to be very mobile and are supplied with wheels for easy movement. A portable air conditioner will also work very well in apartment situations where you will often find a window unit is unacceptable.

Portable air conditioners are very unique in that they are portable and can be easily moved to different locations in your home or business. They can be a highly effective way to either help out an existing HVAC system in one room or cool a single room entirely. They are also one of the best ways to cool a room or area without having to install a window mounted unit.

These air conditioners use a compressor and Freon to cool just like normal air conditioning. They are very effective in cooling rooms and to keep the humidity low. Like normal air conditioners portable units extract hot air that must be vented. That is why they need to have the exhaust hose to the outside. These units can cool air as well as air conditioning done with window air conditioners. However they do not require installation like conventional window air conditioners this makes them very convenient for seniors or physically challenged people. Most portable air conditioners are supplied with a window kit. This kit contains exhaust hoses that will work in any window: double-hung, casement, awning or slider. Because they vent through an opening like a window they require no permanent mounting like window air conditioning.

Portable air conditioners are a very good cooling option for those who can't use the more conventional air conditioning methods. Remember though that this type of unit is not as efficient as most window units or conventional air. So while they may make your environment cooler, it won’t turn your tent into a room at the local hotel.

So as you can see these air conditioning units have some great advantages over other types of air conditioning. They are a great alternative for unique applications where central air or conventional window units are either unfeasible or too expensive. During special events, portable air conditioning can also be a great way to keep guests or equipment cool and comfortable. Always be aware though that because portable air conditioning will remove moisture from the air, they will also need to be drained occasionally similar to a dehumidifier.

Does your application warrant a permanent air conditioner of some form or should you just use a portable one? There are some interesting things to consider when making that choice. Weigh out all of the different options and make that decision based on what will best suit your needs.

Why is my portable air conditioner blowing out room temperature air?

Make sure the filter(s) have been cleaned (Washed) and that the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. If the room temp is the same as the setting on the air con, it wont cool or heat. Just the fan will be operating.

My Continental Portable Air Conditioner only blows partially cool air and will not cool my house. I am I just expecting too much? It seems like it needs freon or something like that.

Unless your home is less than 400 square feet, total. You are expecting to much. As the maximum cooling output is only 9800 Btu's These unit's despite being portable, they are only considered as room air conditioners, because of the low Btu output. Any more than 400 and maybe 450 square, it's a struggle for the unit to cool any more than that. It just simply can not do it. Freon ( which has been banded by the EPA) wouldn't help at all.

The best option for you, is to place the unit in a room you spend most of your time in and close the doors to that room, so that it will stay really cool and the AC unit won't struggle.

I'm really sorry. I wish I had better news for you.

Portable air conditioner not cooling

Ensure your Portable Air Conditioner is sized properly for the room it is in.

A good rule of thumb is 12,000 BTUs for 400 square feet. If the room you are attempting to cool is too large, then the cooling effectiveness will change.

Also ensure that the air conditioner is properly vented outside of the room.
