Possible Causes

Dirty indoor or outdoor coils, Clogged air filters, Low refrigerant charge due to a leak, Undersized unit for room or poor insulation.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before cleaning coils or filters.

  • Clean filters: Remove and wash the indoor air filters of your Olimpia Splendid unit. Dry fully before reinstalling.
  • Clean coils: Gently brush dust from indoor and outdoor coils. Do not bend fins; use a fin comb if necessary.
  • Check room conditions: Close doors and windows. Reduce heat sources (sunlight, appliances) where possible.
  • Verify mode and setpoint: Ensure the unit is in COOL mode with a set temperature at least 5°C below room temperature and fan on medium/high.
  • Observe compressor operation: If the compressor cycles off quickly or never starts, a refrigerant or control issue may exist. Contact a technician to check refrigerant charge and system pressures.
