Question about Danby DPAC8020 Air Conditioner

Cuts in and out

I have a danby 12,000 btu portable airconditioner which cuts in and out all the time. I can have the temp set at 62 degrees, and when first started it will run for about 1/2 hr before cutting out. Then it runs for about 5 min, then cuts out for about 5 min and starts up again. During the day the room temp will not go below 75 degrees. When it cuts out the blue light flashes and a code of 04 comes up. service center will not help

I suspect a bad compressor run capacitor. Take the unit to a service facility & have the capacitor & overload protector replaced. The overload will be weakened by the repeated cycling.

How can I tell whether my portable AC unit is low on freon gas or if the compressor is bad?

You can tell a compressor is running by measuring amp draw but you can check return air temp vs supply air temp. 15 degrees should be minimum temp split.

Need my users manual

Here is a link to a 12,000 BTU, Danby Portable AC Unit. Since you failed to mention the model number of the unit you have, I can only guess that is the same as yours. In any event, all Danby Portable AC units work the same. You can download and print this manual for future reference.

I need to replace a hose on a Danby portable airconditioner model # DPAC120068

The first place to start is with the manufacturer, Danby 800-496-6049. Or take a section of the hose with you and go to your nearest home center and purchase a similar hose (same diameter) and use all the existing fittings that you have, to remount it with the new hose. There are several types available that will work well for this type of application and probably last longer than the original hose did.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

It is possible. But you have to refer to the user guide. Try searching in Google with model no mfr name.

Danby ALSO does not cool 3 days old

Take it back where you bought it. A 12,000 BTU unit should be more than enough for a 192 square foot room, so there is some problem with the unit.

Maybe, the compressor isn't starting? I'd take it back to where you purchased it.

Cuts in and out

sounds like very low on freon which also keeps the motor running cooler...suggest a refill because of its large btu capacity, but expensive maybe...get quotes.
