gotoman for ac :

When you put unit in cooling mode does it still heat. Russ

Customer :

Hi Russ,no,blows cool air(not ice cold) and as soon as you switch to heat mode the fan(motor) cuts out,fan will work in other modes except heat.

gotoman for ac :

First thing is have charge checked. If low on refrigerant the sensors will shut down fan in cool. Russ

Customer :

Thankyou,found gas to be low and wire had come off compressor(got Technician in),unit working well hot & cold.CHEERS Will.

gotoman for ac :

You are wecome. Those splits can be tricky to work on. If I have helped please press accept. Russ
