Re: I have a Breezaire WK6000 which froze up and then...
DEPENDING ON AGE OFTHE WK IF IT IS AN R-134 UNIT(CHECK TAG ON BACK OF UNIT) AND IF ITS NOT RUSTED OUT IT SHOULD BE REPARABLE , BUT IF YOU WANT TO REPLACE I WOULD RECOMMEND A WKL MODEL OVER A WKE

YOU WILL HAVE TO DRILL OF THE RIVETS ON THE SIDES OF THE UNIT USING A 1/8 DRILL BIT, ONCE YOU DRILLED THEM OF YOU WILL TAKE OF THE COVER ON THE UNIT AND YOU WILL SEE BLUE INSULATION ON IT, REMOVE THE TOP INSULATION COVER AND FANS WILL BE EXPOSED, THEY HAVE QICK DISCONNECT LEADS ON THE WIRES, DISCONNECT THE WIRES, UNSCREW THE FANS WITH A PHILLIPS SCREW DRIVER, INSTALL NEW FANS AND REMEMBER TO TIE STRAP THE WIRES FROM THE NEW FANS TOGETHER SO THEY DONT MOVE.
A WKE 8000 IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST UNIT TO REPLACE THE BOARD ON, REMOVE THE TOP FRONT GRILL(COLD AIR DISCHARGE) AND BOARD WILL BE RIGHT THERE BEHIND THE GRILL, USE NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS TO REMOVE WIRES FROM BOARD, MAKE SURE YOU MARK THE WIRES BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT THEM(USE BLUE TAPE WITH NUMBERS) AND TAKE A PHOTO WITH YOUR PHONE OF THE WIRES WITH THE NUMBERS ON THEM,ONCE WIRES ARE REMOVED PULL THE OLD BOARD UP AWAY FROM THE 6 PLASTIC PEGS IT IS SITTING ON AND INSTALL THE NEW WKE CONTROL BOARD(IT SHOLUD BE BLUE IN COLOR) PRESS IT ON THE PLASTIC PEGS, AND RECONNECT THE WIRES USING THE NUMBERS AS GUIDE
IF YOUR UIT IS IN FACT 15 YEARS OLD IT CAN NOT BE A WKL MODEL, WKL ARE DIGITAL UNITS, WHAT YOU HAVE IS A WK4000 WITH A SCREW TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT IN BETWEEN THE GRILLS. A 15 YEAR OLD WK 4000 IS AN R-22 SYSTEM AND NOT WORTH REPAIRING AND IF THE METAL IS RUSTED YOU CAN NOT BUY MORE METAL BASES FOR THAT UNIT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, BREEZAIRE HAS DROPPED ALMOST ALL THE COMPONENTS FOR THE UNIT ONLY THINGS AVAILABLE ARE FANS,COILS AND THERMOSTAT. BUY THE REPLACEMENT WKL4000 DIGITAL SAME DIMENSIONS AND COOLING CAPACITY.
THAT IS A BAD CONTROL BOARD ALLSO CALLED A SENTRY III BOARD, YOU CAN CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER 858-566-7473 AND PURCHASE A NEW REPLACEMENT BOARD ITS VERY SIMPLE TO INSTALL AND DOES NOT REQUIRE REMOVING YOUR UNIT.
IF YOUR UNIT IS A WKL IT SHOULD HAVE A SENTRI III CONTROLLER(BOARD) THAT HAS A LCD DISPLAY GREEN NUMBERS ON IT WITH BUTTONS(SET, WARMER, COLLER) IF SO THE ONLY OTION IS TO REPLACE THAT BOARD, A VERY SIMPLE PROCESS 10 TO 15 MINUTES MINIMU TOOLS, CONTACT BREEZAIRE AT 858-566-7473 THEY WILL SELL YOU A BOARD OR CONECT YOU WITH A DEALER TO BUY THE REPLACEMENT BOARD ARROUND $150 APROX
CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER BREEZAIRE 858-566-7473 THEY WILL CONECT YOU WITH A DEALER THAT STILL MODIFIES UNIT TOP VENT. BREEZAIRE DOES NOT MODIFY THE UNIT TOP VENT THEM SELF NOR DO THEY SELL DIRECT BUT THEY WILL PUT YOU IN CONTACT WITH THEIR DEALER THAT DOES.
I'm not familiar with your unit, but sounds like condenser problems. Check for a dirty coil on the backside or underneath the unit. Also, if it has a fan for that coil, make sure it's running when the compressor is running and that the blades are clean. Other than that, it could have developed a refrigerant leak.
