Frequently Asked Questions
Will cleaning the condenser really help?

How often should the condenser be cleaned?
Every 3–6 months depending on the environment — more often in dusty or kitchen environments.
My condenser fan is noisy — should I worry?
Yes. A failing fan reduces heat rejection and can lead to high-pressure trips and compressor damage.
