    open up the unit and check the circuits, look for these: http://www.buildup-audio.com/tkxdoc/goods_img/fuse_agupt.jpg if you do find one and it is blown, there is a reason why it did so get it looked at by a pro, or contact manufacturer for further advice.

    Air Conditioner Puzzle

    im afraid you need specialised equipment to check the refrigerant volume in your particular system. it is hard to give you a concise breakdown of the actual problem without analysing it myself. But with the price you pay for someone to come out to inspect, you may aswell buy a spanking new 1...

    Air Conditioner Puzzle

    This unit is very basic. To start off with, I would check all filters and give them a thorough clean. Does your system have a water tank?
