only slightly.

Undersized unit.

Thermostat open or inoperative.

Dirty filter.

Dirty or plugged condenser or evaporator coil.

Poor air circulation in area being cooled.

Fresh air or exhaust air door open on applicable models.

Low capacity – undercharge. Compressor not pumping properly.

Refer to Sizing Charts.

Set to coldest position. Test thermostat and replace if necessary.

Clean as recommended in Owner’s Manual. Use steam or detergents to clean.

Adjust discharge air louvers. Use high fan speed.

Close doors. Instruct customer on use of this feature.

Check for leak and make repair.

Check amperage draw against nameplate. If not conclusive, make pressure test.
