📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

Safety first: Unplug your Washing Machine from the main power socket before performing any physical inspection.

Check and replace the air filter — a clogged filter reduces cooling by up to 40%.

Ensure the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves, debris, or furniture.

Check that the thermostat is set correctly and is not near a heat source.

Inspect the condensate drain pipe for blockage by pouring a cup of water near the indoor unit.

Verify power supply — check the dedicated AC circuit breaker in your main board.

After performing these checks, reconnect power and test the Washing Machine through a full cycle.

If the problem persists, avoid further DIY. Continued operation with a hardware fault can cause secondary damage.

💡 Preventive Maintenance Tips

● Check and replace the air filter — a clogged filter reduces cooling by up to 40%.
● Ensure the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves, debris, or furniture.
● Check that the thermostat is set correctly and is not near a heat source.
● Inspect the condensate drain pipe for blockage by pouring a cup of water near the indoor unit.
● Service your Washing Machine once a year to prevent costly failures.
● Service your AC before summer (Feb–March) to avoid peak-season delays and higher costs.
● Document your Washing Machine model number and purchase date — it speeds up any future repair.
