portable air conditioner, the compressor cools, but there is no exhaust air out the back of the unit, so the compressor ultimately shuts down.
Is it something I can fix myself?
This is a single speed permanent split capacitor motor for the condenser. One of the capacitor wires shows infinite resistance to hot and netral. The motor needs to be replaced.
something obstructing the lower fan motor (or exhaust motor)
bad fan capacitor
or bad motor
to check any of these you will need to disassemble the unit to get to the blower. there are several screws located at various points on the plastic housing covering the unit. Once removed you should be able to check for motor obstructions visually. for checking the motor and capacitor you will need a volt/ohm meter and ideally a capacitor checker. you could try to spin start the motor while it is powered up this could be a possible sign of a bad capacitor if it will start when you do this or if the motor will spin freely while powered down and will not spin start when powered up. I know that is kind of confusing but its how they work. GO FIGURE.

Hello, I've got a Daewoo 5200btu window a/c that I bought about 6 months ago from a discount store that sells defective packaged items. This unit is new, just didn't have the mounting brackets in it, fabricated my own . My problem is that about a week ago the cord end lcdi tripped. I reset it and a/c worked fine for about a week. Tonight tripped again, tried to reset, immediately trips. Unplug, reset, plug in, trips again. Strange question, have cats in room,none of them fixed yet, could pee have gotten on/in lcdi and made it go bad. If so is it possible to put regular plug on end, and then use a lcdi protected extension cord or does someone make a replacement lcdi plug. Any help greatly appreciated. A/C ran great til now. Thanks
