Possible causes for the Arctic King KAW05M1BWT not cooling despite the unit powering on and the compressor running include:
1. Operating Outside Recommended Temperatures: The unit is designed to cool when outdoor temperatures are between 64–109°F (18–43°C) or up to 125°F (52°C) for tropical models, and indoor temperatures are between 62–90°F (17–32°C). If used outside these ranges, cooling performance may be reduced.
2. Dirty Air Filter: A clogged air filter can reduce airflow and cooling efficiency. The filter should be checked and cleaned at least once a month.
3. Time-Delayed Start: The unit has a 3-minute time delay when turned off and on quickly, during which the fan may run but cooling is delayed to protect the compressor.
4. Power Supply Issues: If the RESET button on the power cord is not engaged, or if the power cord is damaged or fails to reset, the unit may not function properly even if it powers on. The cord must be replaced if damaged.
5. Incorrect Control Settings: Ensure the cooling mode is selected and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature.
These factors should be checked to identify and resolve the cooling issue.
