A Goodman wall-mounted air conditioner that was no longer blowing cold air.
At AirGreen , we recently repaired a Goodman wall-mounted air conditioner in an apartment in Montreal's Anjou district. The customer contacted us during the spring heatwave: their unit was working, but the outgoing air remained lukewarm , despite an active outdoor compressor. A typical situation where an accurate diagnosis makes all the difference.
Diagnosis: No refrigerant and faulty temperature sensor
Our technician visited the site for a complete inspection of the Goodman wall-mounted system , a compact 12,000 BTU model. After a series of tests, here is what was found:
-
The indoor fan was operating normally, without obstruction;
-
The external compressor started fine, but the pressures were too low;
-
A faulty temperature sensor (thermistor) prevented precise control of the cooling cycle;
-
Traces of oil on the refrigerant line , a sign of a micro-leak at the flare connection.
These elements explained why the unit produced air at room temperature without ever reaching the optimal cooling mode.
Repair: leak detection and complete system recharge
The intervention involved several technical stages:
-
Nitrogen leak test to locate micro-leak on copper pipe fitting.
-
Flare replacement and torque tightening to Goodman standards.
-
Complete draining of the circuit to eliminate all moisture.
-
Recharge with R410A refrigerant according to the exact quantity prescribed by the manufacturer.
-
Replacement of the interior temperature sensor and electronic recalibration via the control module.
-
Cleaning the filters and evaporator , which had a slight accumulation of dust.
Once the repairs were completed, a performance test confirmed a temperature difference of 9.5°C between the air inlet and outlet—a sign of optimal performance.
Result: restored performance and satisfied customer
The customer immediately noticed an improvement in indoor comfort , with a stable temperature and a noticeable reduction in operating noise. The Goodman wall system regained its full cooling capacity, while maintaining efficient energy consumption .
At AirGreen, we always emphasize the importance of a thorough diagnosis before refilling the gas tank. Even a small leak can shorten the compressor's lifespan and unnecessarily increase your electricity bill.
Why Preventive Maintenance is Essential
A Goodman heat pump or wall-mounted air conditioner is designed to last more than 10 years, but its efficiency depends on rigorous maintenance:
-
Regular cleaning of filters every 4 weeks during periods of use;
-
Check pressures and connections once a year;
-
Defrosting the outdoor condenser at the end of winter if the system is dual-mode (heating/cooling);
-
Inspection of electronic sensors and calibration as needed.
These simple actions help prevent costly breakdowns and ensure constant comfort throughout the year.
