MY HEATER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING
Checking the HEATER is very simple:
●
Pull the HEATER out of the aluminum foil. Hold the red tip against the inside
of your wrist with your fingers.
●
Unplug the POWER to the CoolBot, then plug it back in. In ~5 seconds the
Heater Activity Indicator light will come on SOLID for about 20 seconds.
●
The HEATER should get Warm/Hot within the first 10-30 seconds of the
CoolBot being plugged in. If not, unplug/plug the HEATER a couple times and
repeat the test.
●
If it STILL doesn't get warm contact us at
NOTE: During normal operation, the Heater light blinks and you may not feel the
warmth.
SENSOR CALIBRATION TEST
Checking the Calibration of your CoolBot sensors is very simple:
●
Gently slip the Fins sensor tip out of the fins of the A/C. Let the tip of the sensor
hang right next to the tip of your Room sensor cable.
●
Allow 2 minutes for the sensor to adjust its temperature reading.
●
Compare the Room temperature reading with the Fins temperature reading
using the arrows to toggle back and forth between the Room Mode and the
Fins Mode.
●
Your Room Sensor and your Fins Sensor should read within 3 degrees of each
other. If one of the sensors is more than 3 degrees away from the other,
compare the readings against a calibrated external thermometer and replace
the faulty sensor.
DIRTY FINS
This is a very common problem! Dirty front fins drastically reduce cooling power and
waste electricity. Clean the fins 2 times a month.
●
Use a plastic brush with bristles long enough to go all the way through the fins.
Depending on the make of your A/C, a dish brush or paintbrush might work
well.
●
Use plain water. DO NOT use soap! Soap residue attracts more dirt!
●
Dunk bristles in water then swipe down the fins. Rinse the bristles in the
water and repeat, working your way across until all the fins have been
brushed. Change out the water as needed if it gets murky.
●
A/C supply stores also sell "Foaming Coil Cleaner".
●
Squished fins greatly reduce the cooling power of the A/C. Use a "Fin Comb"
(available at most hardware stores) to straighten them.
●
Fins on the back side (outside the cooler) should be cleaned at least once a
year. Also, make sure no leaves or debris are blocking the sucking vent holes.
