STEP 6
IMPORTANT! If your A/C Has a Secondary Sensor, IT MUST BE UNPLUGGED.
➢
Window LG and Window Haier units DO NOT have Secondary Sensors (skip to
Step 7).
➢
Most window A/C units over 10K BTUs (GE, Danby, Frigidaire, etc.) have a
Secondary Sensor.
➢
All "Mini-Split" air conditioners have Secondary Sensors.

To remove the Secondary Sensor:
●
Unplug your air conditioner.
● Remove the full front cover of your A/C to expose the sides of the coil ("u"
shaped pipes).
●
Look for one electronic wire often on the same side of the A/C as the control
panel. It plugs into a little cup soldered onto one of the coolant tubes.
NOTE: Some Mini-Splits can have more than one Secondary Sensor. They
will all be on the same side of the coil.
NOTE: Sometimes the Secondary Sensor can be attached to the Cooling
Pipes with black foam insulation tape instead of plugged in to a copper cup.
●
Grab it with your fingers and slide it out of the copper cup or the insulation
tape. Do not cut the sensor! It is OK to cut the plastic tie-downs to free the
sensor.
●
For rooms above 50⁰F/10°C, just let that sensor hang free outside the body of
the A/C unit so it doesn't touch anything metal.
●
For rooms below 50⁰F/10°C, use just 1 layer of electrical tape to attach
the end of the Secondary Sensor to the OUTSIDE of the aluminum foil
connection from Step 5.
