With the summer and high heat my Portable Air Conditioner stopped blowing cold air today. It’s a Hisense Dual Hose 8000 BTU model number AP55023HR1GD.
I did some troubleshooting before disassembling the unit:
1. With unit disconnected from the outlet held down the power button for 30 s (this will discharge any residual current and reset the unit), then plugged the unit back in, turn it on, but nothing happened.
2. Set the unit to 61 F and fan at high, let it run for at least 30 min - this will set the unit in Supercool mode. Again for me, nothing happened.
3. Switch to different modes and let it run. Didn’t work either.
4. Power cycle the unit. No success
Upon trying all the steps, I went ahead and disassembled the unit and found the issue.
As a reminder, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM POWER OUTLET BEFORE DISASSAMBLY. ELECTRICITY CAN KILL YOU. IF YOU DON’T KNOW OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO, DON’T DO IT. THE RISK IS YOURS. THIS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.

Omfg it worked i was about to buy new unit but i REPLACED this cheap part and it works THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Glad you were able to save some money and have your unit working again

@baldbearded9601 22 дня назад

I will definitely look into this and report back. For the last few weeks mine hasn't been blowing cold air but I am not home often so I wasn't sure if I was imagining it or not. Definitely an issue with the compressor not kicking in compared to before. Thank you for the video.. hopefully this helps me fix my problem!

Thank for sharing your video. We have the same problem with our new portable a/c that we just installed July 1st & stops working Sunday July 7th. Just bought it from Costco.

@danielareyes6629 18 дней назад

You should just go and return it, then you can get a new one.

@ariza7400 Return it and get a new one. Costco offers 90 days returns on appliances.

@@chadland71 Sorry to hear that. They are usually available at Costco in spring. I think you can still find Hisense and Midea at Costco online though.

Awesome vid! For mine, the compressor kicks in and stays on but the air doesn’t cool at all. I inspected the board and wires and rule out an electrical issue. The compressor gets warm, should I should still replace the capacitor? Any tips or ideas on what else I can check?

@sula123rox 12 дней назад

Thank you so much for the video! Have you ever considered adding a soft starter to the compressor to smooth out the power draw?

@strykergaming_ngadgets 11 дней назад

Thank for the suggestion. I didn't consider that, these capacitors are pretty cheap to replace, a soft starter is more expensive.

Thank you so much for this video!!! It is very easy to understand and show and explain everything very well. My Hisense unit is doing the same, blowing but not cooling, looks like mine have the same problem, tomorrow I will start working on it and I will let you know if I can fix it or not. Thanks again!!!

Hi i have dimplex portable reverse cycle ac 1.5 ton . After 15/25 min it throw hot air instead of cold air .i think compressor of and blowing hot air . And after some houry it would be on wd cold air but sometime 20/30 min again stopping cold air and throwing hot air again .plz tell me the basic reason

@strykergaming_ngadgets 5 дней назад

The unit should have 2 fans: one for the evaporator coil on top where the cold air comes out, another for the condenser coil to keep the compressor temperature down (bottom one). Make sure these fans, especially the bottom one are not turning off. These units are designed with electronic pressure/temperature monitoring in order to protect the compressor, so if the fan will turn off, it will signal the compressor to turn off too. Also there should be a temperature sensor attached to the pipe next to the condenser, check it make sure it's not clogged. If this is not the case, check the drain pans for water accumulation. Excessive moisture will fill those pans pretty fast, so to avoid flooding the compressor will stop while fans will still run to evaporate that water. It might be a failing capacitor too not providing enough juice for the compressor to run smoothly. I don't think it's the main board. Hope this helps

@werqeful 18 дней назад

i have a different problem with mine though maybe you could help me. So i start my unit up the compressor instantly kicks in cold air comes out but after 2 minutes the compressor turns off with a kick and doesnt come on anymore. What could be the problem ?? I turned it off and looked at the compressor and its piping hot. When i wait 30 min or 40 min and turn it back on the cycle repeats

@strykergaming_ngadgets 17 дней назад

Try these steps first ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EJYEPsAkxWw.html If you are not getting any error messages, check and drain the unit. There might be water accumulated, the unit will start and then to avoid flooding will shut off. Pay attention to the fans, if a fan turns off before the compressor, the issue may be there. There is a sensor right in front of the grill and usually it gets dirty pretty fast, you can clean it using a can of compressed air. If none of these, it still may be the capacitor. The capacitor acts as a small battery to give the compressor that extra juice it needs to start and run smoothly. A bad capacitor might still hold some charge, but not enough to make the compressor operate normally. Hope this helps. Let me know if you were able to fix the issue and thank you for watching.

@WilliePeck 9 дней назад

Check to make sure your condenser fan motor is running. Sounds like your compressor is kicking off due to high temp.

@jaknap1 16 дней назад

Was it necessary to remove the front cover in order to replace the capacitor?

@strykergaming_ngadgets 15 дней назад

Yes, the electronic components are usually under the front cover away from moisture and heat. It's highly unlikely for the capacitor to be accesses by removing the back cover only. Thank you for watching.

Hello friend, I have couple questions for, first of all, I don’t know why, but I think you can speak Russian as well, if yes - please answer, if no - never mind. The second question is, I have almost the same ac like yours, it’s also Hisense, but I have a different problem. So I can hear that the compressor is working, but it still no cold air. I think the refrigerant (freon gas) needs to be recharged. Maybe you know how to do that? Because I’m not sure which freon should I buy, and how to properly recharge it. Thanks for the answer!

@strykergaming_ngadgets 10 дней назад

Hi there. No, I don't speak russian. To answer your other questions, if everything is working but no cold air is coming out, the unit most probably has a leak and it's low on refrigerant. Recharging the unit without appropriate tools and equipment is not a DIY job. These units do not have a recharge port/valve, so fixing the leak and recharging costs more than a new unit. If your unit has a leak and you are out of warranty, discard it and get a new one. Thank you for watching.

@strykergaming_ngadgets 17 дней назад

You can call an appliance repair company. These portable AC units work on the same principle as a fridge. If the cost of the repair is comparable to the price of a new portable AC unit, it's better to buy a new unit of course.

@tight421 23 дня назад

Helpful video but I took mine apart and my compressor does get hot and I can hear it running. However it is not cooling as well as it did last summer. Filters are clean. Any other ideas?

@strykergaming_ngadgets 22 дня назад

Sorry to hear that. Try to follow these steps, they apply to most manufacturers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EJYEPsAkxWw.html If everything is running and unit not cooling or not colling as it used to, then best case scenario there might be an obstruction in the tubes and setting the unit to supercool mode for a couple of hours might clear it and have the refrigerant flow properly; worst case scenario - unit has a leak and it's loosing refrigerant and eventually will stop cooling completely. Fixing a leak and refiling a portable AC unit costs more than buying a new one.
