Blaupunkt
Insufficient Cooling Capacity / Performance Degradation
Air conditioner runs but does not cool the room effectively; supply air feels only slightly cooler than room air.

Possible Causes
Dirty indoor evaporator coil, Clogged air filters, Low refrigerant charge due to a small leak, Undersized unit for the room or poor insulation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the power before cleaning filters or coils.
Steps:
- Clean filters: Remove the Blaupunkt indoor filters and wash them with mild detergent. Dry completely before reinstalling.
- Clean evaporator coil: Gently brush dust from the coil fins. For heavy dirt, use a foaming coil cleaner approved for aluminum fins.
- Check airflow: Ensure supply and return air are not blocked by furniture, curtains, or covers.
- Verify mode and setpoint: Confirm the unit is in Cool mode with a set temperature at least 3–5°C below room temperature, and the fan speed is not set to low.
- Refrigerant / sizing: If performance remains poor, a technician should check the refrigerant charge and confirm the Blaupunkt unit’s capacity is adequate for the room size and heat load.
