I have a Frigidaire FRA053PU113 portable room air conditioner and I would like to know the location of the temperature sensor. The sensor is item 22 on the parts list, the part number is 5304484406

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.

You have to check the temperature sensors. Room temperature sensor and coil temperature senor.

E6 Room temperature or evaporator temperature sensor open or short circuit
The prescribed cure:
Check to make sure the room temperature sensor is connected and reads the correct resistance value. If the sensor operates correctly, replace the control board.

This unit most likely employs a NTC thermistor as a thermometer sensor. Common resistance values are 1k ohms and 10k ohms at room temperature. As the temperature goes up, the sensor decreases in resistance.


The sensing element could look like any of the above, but with portable comfort units, they usually look like the bottom row of encapsulated and cabled assemblies.

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.

dear sir

please test your aircon with digital temperature meter i mean take first room temperature data then check your aicon flow air temperature it should be lower than to 20-22 degree Celsius if it,s not low like this
then it can be low freon problem in your aircon system.

thank you
hope answer the question

Hi Cafe,
Ensure that the the discharge (hot air) is properly routed outside. Take temperature readings of the intake air (room air entering the unit) and the outtake air (cold air coming out of the unit). If the temperature difference is approx 18 to 22 degF, you might need more capacity. I believe your unit is 8,000 BTU. This is considered very small capacity. Not knowing what your situation is, it could be the right size. Below is a link to a site that will allow you to input information regarding the area you are trying to cool. It will calculate the BTU's needed to cool the area.

Let us know if this helps. Good Luck!

If it got to 22 degrees the Ac unit should have self destructed. What brand and model is that unit?
I think I would love to have one here in Georgia.

I have a Frigidaire model FAK104R1V window air conditioner that did the same AS error code. The problem is going to be one of the 2 temperature sensors in the unit. Mine happened to be the ambient temperature sensor located at the front of the unit. They are fairly easy to replace and you can buy a new sensor for about $15 online.

Maybe, the compressor isn't starting? I'd take it back to where you purchased it.
