Check Thermostat setting, if its ok then make sure for compressor working or not.

Or try to change thermostat only if u r unable to get the result.

Compressor having long life its rarely being NG.

Hope your answer is completed.

Hi there,

There is two drain plugs on the back of the unit, you will need to drain the the bottom black plug, you need something to catch the water. hope this helps

SOURCE: Fridge working but not cooling.

The white component you see , is the problem . That is the overload/relay . These short due to power surges , dirty coils in the front bottom of refrig , or just by age . They short , to save the compressor , when one of these happens . The part number you need is # 8201786 . This part just prys off (maybe one wire clip ) , easily replaceable with instructions included with the part .

Might just be the compressor relay. They had a bunch of them go bad in recent years. I have repair photos HERE

If it were under warranty they would exchange it..

Goldstar GP120CE portable air conditioner with the E3 error

Sounds like a clogged condenser pipe which is common for portable Ac . It is usually due to the unit sitting low and collect more pollens an particles at floor level. A pipe cleaner tends to do the trick. Also insects tend to harvest inside the drain pipe

You need to determine if the compressor is running, if it is and you have no cooling then you either have lost charge or bad compressor, these units re not worth replacement compressor

this could be just a simple fix of cleaning the condenser coils. If semi-clogged, it can cause higher than normal pressures and cause the compressor to cut out on it protector. Check it out.

Air conditioner not cooling

Most likely cause is you have lost your coolant/ freon
These low end unit are generally not worth recharging you can buy a new one for less than a tech will charge you to fix it
