A low freon level in the unit can cause them to freeze up. Are the fins behind the filter clean?

Hi,

If the compressore hasn't kicked in yet there would be no cold air, if it did and still no cold air, you should have it checked to see if you need refrigerant recharging. Also check the thermostat setting for your desired temperature.

I hope this help.

first you need access fittings why do you want to put gauges on this window unit?? usually window units just need to be cleaned . if it is low on freon their is a leak that needs fixing. Tom

This must be a 15 passenger van or a Limo maybe. Keep adding cans till 35 psi on the low side or the fan belt starts squealing. if the belt is squealing that is an indicator you have a bit too much in there.

ok if you have split system if indoor fan runs then transformer is working you have 2 breakers 1 for indoor and 1 for out door also disconnect at unit may have fuse in it if all seem ok remove side cover and look at capacitor if sweeled up bad take an insulated object and push in contactor if runs check for 24v from common to yellow stat wires also look for reset button next to freon lines hope this helps

Is compressor running. If the fan runs and the compressor runs. You are out of refrigerant or the compressor has bad valves. Please leave feedback. Rusty

Make sure the unit is tilted slightly downwards in the rear so that gravity will make the water flow outside. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

shut off valve on sm line from unit in ac mode run unit until low side big line reads in vacume then shut the valve and pull disconnect on unit

hi.no you cant.the system is only desinged for the r22.

new fitting and reflared using a tol desinged for this.call a service tech to do this for you.

Time to put away your stick, lol you really need some help from someone that can replace if necessary the fan motor on the outside coil.
without that the system will not produce subcooled liquid and no latent heat can be displaced.

it could be a burnt out solenoid making a hole of its stem causing gas with oil to escape that is the white stuff

I just purchased a 11,000 BTU Everstar from Home Depot. Not sure if it's the same model that you have. Maybe check there? I bet an employee would be willing to open one of the boxes to answer your question. Just tell them you bought it there. :) Or call Everstar, of course. Good luck!

Freon is low. Sounds counter-intuitive, but the large return line should be cool( even have condensation on it) but never cold enough to freeze.Either use factory pressure settings or add just enough Freon until Ice melts. If unit has a high-side sight glass there should be no bubbles present. Do not overfill.

Unit should be tested, You have a "ground fault" condition.

It depends on what you think is costly. It could be anything from a capacitor to needing more refrigerant to your overload/relay on the compressor to needing a new compressor. These possobilities are writting in order off less expensive to more. It would be wise to rule out the things you can check yourself and then have a professional come and check it out.

Connect to the bottle and then connect to the low side (blue usually) to the low side service valve. You want the bottle to be warm. If its not warm it will be harder to charge. Don't heat the bottle just put it in the sun or put hot towels around it.

it could be abad thermostat or wiring problem

Low side.

you will have to recxlaim the refrigerant from the uint due to the fact that the oils for the two don't mix
