Sharp CV-P09FX Air Conditioner - Page 7 Questions & Answers
Orange and red light blinking
I fixed this problem by disassembling the panels. On the front then sides then back of the unit. The first thing I noticed was some debris in the exhaust fan wheel on the back side. I used some long wood skewer to fish out the debris and even shook the unit upside down. (It's very heavy and would recommend help with shaking the unit.) Also, I think i found a little sensor that is about the size of a thumb drive and incased in a transparent plastic box. I tapped it with my finger and noticed this little black thing bounce up and down inside under the green circuit board. its located right above the drain connection. I didn't do anything else with this. I assumed its the sensor to measure the water buildup. I also found a small toy in the front fan wheel that blows the cool air through the top of the unit. fell out during the shake down. The final thing I noticed was when re-assembling the unit. On the front side you will see the two metal radiator looking panels. Between the two panels is a wire sensor that looks like a temperature measuring device. I had noticed it was touching the metal part of the radiator panel so I gently streightened it out so that it was parallel with the panels and not touching. I pressed the power button and it hasn't shut of yet. I snapped the front panel back on and all is good.
I have the white upright sharp AC unit with the three lights in the front and a power button next to the IR sensor. I lost the remote control and couldn't figured out why the unit would start up then shut down after a minute of use. The operation light would blink red then the orange timer light would blink next. Then both lights would blink simultaneously, then repeat. I thought this was a timer setting. but the unit is supposed to reset after disconnected from the power.
What do I need to do to make my Sharp portable air conditioner produce cold air? It runs but not cooling
Hi Bill,
It could a result of a number of different things - but unless you've got electrical / technical expertise and more than likely a refrigeration license / EPA certificate to purchase and reclaim refrigerant - you're not going to get very far even with help from a DIY site like this one. Not to sound "holier than thou".. but if you had either of those you probably wouldn't be posting here with such vague symptoms. Your best bet will likely be to find an appliance repair shop to determine the problem for you - and present you with an estimate. They should be able to apply any up-front fees for doing this testing toward a repair you authorize. You'll want a warranty of their work, too. Check out the cost of a replacement vs. repairing an "x" year old portable unit. Good luck!!
