Hello, if this is a window ac and is not cooling I would make sure the unit is receiving proper airflow across the evaporator coil, chek filter and clean if dirty, clean evaporator coil with coil cleaner which you can purchase at any heating and cooling store. If the unit still does not cool than ypu most likely have a leak in the system and is undercharged. In this case the repair would be between 80- 120 dollars. In some cases if the unit is less than the repair you are better off buying a new unit. However, if your unit is more than the repair then you are better off getting it repiared.

    An easy way to check if the unit is umdercharged is by measuring the air going into the ac and thrn the air coming out with a thetmometer, find the differance between these two numbers, if it is between 15 and 20 degrees the unit is not undercharged, if it is below 15 the unit is undercharged.

Friedrich ductless heat pump will not start up.

Did you check to see if the compressor is running? Check out start relay/capacitor.

Why does the fan run non stop? the compressor runs and shuts off but the fan just runs on high and low. I have 3 other dehumidifiers that the fan runs only when the compressor runs...why doesnt the...

Depending on the time sequence you have this unit set to run, Fredrich's are designed so that the fan runs almost constantly, to keep the air moving. When it senses a rise in humidity above the level you have it set on, the compressor turns ON and runs until the level of humidity is lowered. This is especially true, if you are operating this unit in continual mode.

Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

I have an 8 year old Friedrich model SS10J10AR unit. The unit keeps shutting off when in cooling mode. When I leave it in FAN only it runs. I tried to reset the circuit board by hitting "Money...

Honestly, repairing and 8 year old AC unit (assuming parts are still available) can cost almost as much as buying a new one. If this is the first time you've had a real problem with it ... You've gotten your monies worth over the past 8 years. But, the decision is yours to make.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.

My friedrich unit compressor wont come on

This could be a bad capacitor or your compressor may have gone bad. Another possibility is an overload that is tripped and has to be reset manually. Hope this helps.
