Edgestar Portable Air Conditioner
Issue
My air conditioner is
not cooling at all.
My air conditioner
blows cold air, but
does not lower the
room temperature.
Possible Cause
Unit is not operating in
cooling mode.
The compressor is not
on.
The ambient
temperature is too
high.
The filter may be dusty
or blocked.
Blocked exhaust port.
The unit is not vented.
The area of the room
is too large.
Open windows and
doors.
Too many heat
sources.
The room/garage may
be inadequately
insulated.
The ambient
temperature is too
high.
Direct sunlight is
heating the room.
The filter may be dusty
or blocked.
Dirty condenser coils.
Obstructed air intake
or exhaust ports.
Solution
Set the unit to be in
cooling mode, and
lower the set
temperature (pg. 13).
The compressor may
take up to 3 minutes to
turn on, or longer if it is
too warm.
Lower the room
temperature to be
below 90°F degrees.
Clean the filters.
(pg. 16)
Remove any
obstructions in the
exhaust hose and port.
The unit must be
vented. (pg. 4)
Minimize the size of
the area to be cooled,
i.e. adding a drop
ceiling. Use more than
one unit to cool the
area, or use a larger
unit.
Close any open doors
and windows.
Remove or shut off
additional heat
sources such as radio
equipment, servers,
etc.
Properly insulate the
room to be cooled, i.e.
using fiberglass.
The unit may not work
if the room
temperature is above
90°F.
Close curtains or pull
down blinds, and
minimize the direct
sunlight into the room.
Clean the filter and
replace it if needed.
Carefully vacuum the
coils clean.
Remove anything
blocking the ports.
