Possibly a bad sensor, if your handy you may be able to fix it. Leave it unplug for a couple hours maybe it will dry out and clear itself.

SOURCE: air conditioner not blowing cold air

go to a parts store such as Advance Auto Parts or Auto Zone and buy the A/C recharging kit they have with the rubber line and connector that connects only on the side that you need to recharge your system. If you can put air in your tires you can out freon in your a/c system.

SOURCE: 2003 Trailblazer Air Conditioner fan runs but no air out vents

Mine does the exact same thing. If I turn it off for a few minutes it will work again for about 15 minutes. Doesn't matter which area I select the air to come out. The fan blows hard but very little air comes out.

SOURCE: Cold Air Not Blowing Through Vents

Your last guess is probably the right one. The deflectors/directors are vacuum controlled and you may have vacuum line either broken or disconnected; these aren't fun to find. I would start under the hood and make sure the vacuum reservoir is intact (have seen them cracked) and then start tracing hoses from there.

SOURCE: Blowing water out the vents.

There is a water pipe from AC to outside,
if a lot of gel inside the pipe, it can make water flow become jam.
Clean it by blow the pipe with a compressor from outside.
Sometimes I did it with my mouth. LOL......
But its worked finally.

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.

My AR09FSFP is showing Code DF and the ouput has gone cold. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

It appears that AR09FSFP is the model number of a Samsung air conditioning unit. The "DF" error code on a Samsung air conditioner typically indicates a problem with the defrosting sensor. This could be caused by a faulty sensor, wiring issue, or a problem with the control board.
To troubleshoot and fix this issue, you can try the following steps:
  1. Turn off the air conditioning unit and unplug it from the power source for at least 10 minutes. This may reset the control board and resolve the issue.
  2. Check the defrosting sensor for any damage or corrosion. If it appears to be damaged, you may need to replace it.
  3. Check the wiring connections between the defrosting sensor and the control board. Make sure they are secure and free of damage.
  4. If the issue persists, you may need to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the problem. They may need to replace the control board or other components of the air conditioning unit.
It is important to note that attempting to repair the unit yourself can be dangerous and may void the warranty. It is always best to consult with a qualified technician for any repairs or maintenance.

What are the common AC Repairs?

An air conditioner system has many working parts that have to be kept well maintained for it to function properly. Even with good maintenance, an air conditioner may still malfunction over a period of time. Here are some of the common air conditioner related issues and how to fix them:

Drainage issues - condensation produced during the cooling process needs to exit the system. To handle moisture flow, an AC has a condensate drip plan and drain line. If damaged, obstructed, or clogged with algae, these components may malfunction causing moisture to back up and cause humidity issues and possibly cause more serious damages. A qualified technician from www.temptechnical.co.uk is able to repair components and also clear any clogs.

Refrigerant leaks - Refrigerant lines can get damaged and cause a refrigerant spill that will cause less pressure towards the cooling process. An Air conditioning in Tonbridge company technician can find the leak source and fix it to stop further damage.

Freezing condenser coils - Frozen condenser coils prevents your AC unit from cooling. Your technician will be able to diagnose the problem and fix it to allow continued smooth cooling process.

My portable air conditioner won't cool.

First determine if the pump/compressor is working. If not, there's your problem. Needs repair done by a shop. Well, really, only a shop should be repairing Ac units due to certificatios,equipment and EPA refrigerant recovery regulations. Sorry. -Ned_
