Operating tips for your Frigidaire heating and cooling combined unit
- Never operate the heating and cooling combined unit without a clean air filter properly installed. Inspect the air filter monthly and replace the air filter when it's dirty. A clogged air filter will increase operating costs and cause cooling problems.
- Keep supply air register vents and return air vents clear. Don't allow drapes, furniture, toys or other items to block supply or return air vents. Clean air vent louvers when they're dirty.
- Keep the outdoor condenser unit clear of shrubs, weeds grass and debris. Maintain a 1-foot clearance around the condenser unit for proper airflow.
- Jiggling the wall control thermostat causes rapid cycling in the control system and this can cause damage to air conditioner components. Don't move the temperature selector on the thermostat for at least 5 minutes between adjustments.
- Running the blower fan continuously minimizes temperature differences inside supply ducts and can lead to greater comfort and cooling efficiency. Consider running the blower fan constantly during hot summer months.
Common Frigidaire heating and cooling combined unit parts that need replacing
- Air filter. Replace the air filter monthly or as directed in your heating and cooling combined unit’s owner’s manual. Replacing the air filter regularly helps keep the heating and cooling combined unit running smoothly and helps the unit last longer.
- Thermostat. The thermostat turns the heating and cooling combined unit on and off. The thermostat can eventually wear out or break. Replace the thermostat if it doesn’t control temperature accurately or doesn’t turn on the heating and cooling combined unit at all.
- Blower motor. The blower motor often runs for long periods without stopping. The bearings that support the motor shaft can wear out over time. Electrical problems inside the motor can also prevent the blower motor from running. Replace the blower motor if it doesn’t run or makes loud noises when running.
