A service call in a Montreal condo
At AirGreen , we regularly work in modern apartments and condominiums in the Plateau-Mont-Royal region , where Samsung wall-mounted air conditioners are often used for their reliability and compact design. Our client today contacted us after noticing that their unit was no longer producing cold air, even after a complete system restart.
Initial diagnosis: an overheating device and a faulty temperature sensor
Upon our arrival, our technician performed a complete diagnosis of the Samsung wall-mounted air conditioner , a model of approximately 12,000 BTU installed in the condo's open-concept kitchen-living room.
Here's what we found:
-
The indoor fan was working, but the outdoor compressor was no longer starting .
-
The wall unit's LED was flashing in sequence, signaling a temperature sensor (thermistor) error .
-
The indoor sensor was measuring incorrect temperatures, preventing the unit from starting the cooling cycle.
-
The unit also exhibited dust buildup on the coils , contributing to overheating.
This type of failure is common on Samsung units after several years of use without preventive maintenance.
AirGreen intervention: complete repair and system upgrade
Our technicians have undertaken the following steps:
-
Power off and completely disassemble the front housing to access the electronic module.
-
Test the probes using a multimeter to confirm the indoor temperature sensor failure.
-
Replacement of the thermistor sensor with a genuine Samsung part, reinstalled and calibrated to the manufacturer's nominal values.
-
Complete cleaning of the evaporator and tangential fan using a biodegradable cleaner designed for residential HVAC systems.
-
Electronic system reset , followed by a complete test of the cold and hot cycles.
Once these steps were completed, the air conditioner resumed stable and quiet operation.
Result: efficiency restored and comfort restored
After the intervention, the customer immediately noticed a constant flow of fresh air and a reduced noise level . The performance measured by our instruments confirmed optimal efficiency , with a temperature differential of more than 10 °C between the air inlet and outlet.
We also advised the client:
-
To clean the filters every 2 to 3 months ;
-
To schedule an annual professional interview before the hot season;
-
Avoid leaving the appliance running unattended for extended periods of extreme heat.
