Possible Causes
Dirty indoor air filter, dirty indoor or outdoor heat exchanger, partially blocked expansion valve, gradual refrigerant leak.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before cleaning filters or coils. Do not handle refrigerant yourself.
User steps:
- Clean the indoor air filters thoroughly with water and mild detergent; dry completely before reinstalling.
- Vacuum or gently brush the indoor coil fins to remove dust.
- Clean the outdoor coil with low-pressure water from inside to outside, ensuring the unit is powered off and protected from water entering electrical compartments.
- Ensure all doors and windows are closed and that the room size matches the Daikin unit's capacity.
When to call a technician:
- If performance remains poor after cleaning, a technician should check refrigerant charge, expansion valve operation, and system pressures.
