Windchaser Heating & Cooling - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Hi, if it trips the reset, you have a short in some part of the unit. Could be the motor, or several things that would cause this. It can be repaired if you take it in to a appliance repair shop. You know as well as I do it may be a minor problem or major, and its the labor that will get your $$$. Get a estimate and compare to a new unit. I hope I have been of some help to you.
Sincerely,

either compressor overheating or low on freon cannot recharge

Most electronic devices have power to the main control board when the unit is plugged in regardless of the switch being on or off. If that is the case and no other issues exist, it is nothing to be concerned about.

I didn't see the manual when I searched, although there were other manuals. I saw the following article that may be of use to you. https://homesteady.com/how-7511194-operating-instructions-windchaser-pacr10.html

Sorry we do not have parts here, nor do we have any locator service for parts for anything

It probably is not worth trying to salvage it, which is the reason you received a refurbished unit. It would really depend on what is wrong with it. Unless you are trained to handle refrigerant, I would recommend you not trying to mess with the compressor.Unless it had a leak, it should be under pressure, which could hurt you if you attempt to open it up. As far as the rest of the system goes you may use parts off of it to make repairs on the refurbished unit, should the occasion arise, providing it is the same model.

sounds like a blockage in the refrigerant circuit, the compressor is shutting down, protecting itself. possibly the compressor is overheating, possibly it's overcharged. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

Need manufacturer model and serial numbers

need model number as there are several different model numbers.

Eithee the filter is dirty, coil is dirty, primary pan is dirty or the tube or drain is clogged. It needs a good bath!! If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

you can clean it --coils probably dirty if freon was problem would be freezing up and or failure to cool

i just press water on wind screen too empty washers till it stops.

you should have two wires that go to a capacitor for turning the motor the right way durring start up then you should have two wires for run current. Now my motor has red and blue as the run voltage and blue and a white wire to the capacitor -6uf+/-10-5%@250AC. This cap is mounted on your fan shroud and refer to you top motor wire configuration, as both blower motors is in like the same wire colors to cap. Now my lower motor keeps blowing the thermal fuse and dose not overheat as the thermal needs at least 360 degrees of heat to blow yet my moter when running is not that hot.... I would replace the motor and cant seem to find one where did you find yours.

compressor trying to start but not starting replace capacitors.

Hi Jeff, There is an air leak somewhere inside.

• Check that all windows are properly shut.
• If the unit has an air exchanger, make sure it is closed.
• Or there is a lot more Moisture (Humidity) in the air inside your quarters.
• Check for massive dirt ( dust) build-up on the condenser or evaporator.
• Lastly, do not forget to clean the filter too.

Good Luck! JP

Have you tested the unit without the hose? Could it be the thermostat?

This company is out of business, so the parts are not currently available. However many people have visited lowes or home depot and managed to rig up a fix that works sufficiently.
