Question about Frigidaire FAS156N1A Air Conditioner

Window AC takes spells on cooling?

Our 1 year old Frigidaire window ac has started taking spells of not cooling. I though it was due to our high temperatures, but I am not sure that is the case. It will cool, then by noon time it only blows out air like a fan. It will go back and fourth with fan air and then cold air. We have cleaned the filter recentally and doesn't seem to have helped. We also have a smaller room ac, which is much older, and it has been doing fine, so that is why I am confused about it just being too hot. It has the energy feature, but we keep it on constant cool. Any help would be appriciated!

Thank you for the advice. We took the AC unit out of the window, and my husband throughally cleaned it. It seems to be working much better now.

One thing to check is to make sure the evaporator and condenser coils are clean. Any dirt here will short ccle the compressor.

Truck has recently begun to go straight into limp home mode immediately after starting. the cooling fan starts in high speed with no A/C running.

Make sure ac compressor clutch is not engaged even though ac switch is off. If clutch is turning compressor on due to stuck relay etc, ecm will turn on fan due to signal from pressure switch. You may need a scan tool to view scan data and determine source of fan issue

I have a fac 127 it,s blowing out smoke when the

dont really think its smoke just water vapor, the difference in temp causes this. iassuming it doesnt do this all the time may be alittle dirty when you can pull the unit out take it to the car wash and give it a bath dont spray the controls and let it dry good before starting it back up make sure your filter is clean and remember ac units remove heat they dont add cool i know this sounds confuseing but thats how they work and dont worry about the vapor its normal when you fire it up.

My LG 1 ton window AC is in running (as the sound of running compressure is there)but there is no cooling effect inside, nor any heat in the outside fins.The ac is only 2 years old. Is it due to leakage of...

Hi, if you can hear the compressor running and its blowing room temperature air only, yes, if the air from the out side condenser coil is not hot, I would say you are low or almost out of freon. This is something you will have to call a tech out to find the leak and recharge. Even though it is only 2 years old, they can get leaks due to vibration. I don't know what you paid for it, but it will cost some $$$$ to have someone come out. It may be cheaper to replace it, as the leak could be in one of the coils which it wouldn't be worth fixing. Let me know on what you decide and if you need my help.
Sincerely,
Shastalaker7
PS Take a water hose and wash the out side coil off. do not bend the fins. See if it starts to cool then. If not, you are low on charge.

AC not cooling during the day

Your AC cooling efficiency is low when he ambient temperature is high and naturally it cools well when the outside temperature drops.

Please remove the filter on the grill and try to clean it under the tap water and after removing all the dust fix it back to the unit. This would increase the cooling efficiency of the unit.

Your AC is also five years old. Please avoid frequent opening of doors or windows.

Ensure that the exhaust fan and the blower of your unit are functioning normal.

The technician might not have done a proper job in fixing the area where the refrigerant would have leaked out. Please check the refrigerant pressure to ensure that no further refrigerant leak has taken place. Or even servicing your unit he would have punchered the tubes resulting in very slow leak of refrigerant resulting in no cooling or less cooling. It takes around a month to feel the pinch of it and the refrigerant. One fine morning after sometime the unit will run and it would start throwing hot air instead of cool breeze!

Air Conditioner compressor not turning on

Check the following:

* The outdoor condesner coil to make sure it's clean

* The outdoor condenseing unit to make sure the fan runs

* The circuit breaker for the A/C condenser and any other circuit protection , if present

* The regrigerant charge

* Wiring connections

* The thermostat setting (make sure it's calling for cooling)

Freezer Problem

If it started to cool again the compressor was running. Check the condenser and make sure it is clean. Provide as much air movement through the garage as possible . 100 degrees is a high temperature to be operating a refrigerator in.
