COMMON MINI-SPLIT PROBLEMS
Mini-Split Symptoms & What They Mean
Here are the issues we see most in Upstate SC, what they often mean, and how we fix them.
Indoor Head Dripping Water
Usually a clogged condensate drain, dirty coil, or failed condensate pump. We clear the drain, clean the coil, and verify proper drainage.
Not Heating / Not Cooling
Low refrigerant, sensor/board faults, or reversing-valve issues. We test controls and weigh in the correct charge.
Outdoor Unit Iced Over
Defrost control faults, low charge, or airflow issues. We diagnose the defrost board/sensor, check charge, and safely de-ice the unit.
Blinking Lights / Error Codes (P4, E6, etc.)
Communication wire faults, sensor failures, or control board errors. We retrieve codes, test circuits, and correct the root cause.
Musty Odor / Weak Airflow
Dirty blower wheel/coil or bio-film buildup. We perform a proper deep clean and restore airflow and air quality.
New Noises or Vibration
Fan imbalance, line-set contact, or icing contact. We isolate the source and replace failing parts before bigger damage occurs.
