A service call for restored comfort in Laval
At AirGreen , we were recently called to Sainte-Dorothée, Laval , to diagnose a problem with a Sharp Eco Inverter series wall-mounted air conditioner. This type of unit, known for its reliability and energy efficiency , is found in many Quebec homes. However, like any air conditioning system, it may require professional intervention when a malfunction occurs.
The context of the intervention
The customer contacted us after noticing that his indoor unit was no longer blowing cold air despite a normal display on the remote control. The air conditioner, installed in a mezzanine workroom, had been operating smoothly for several years before showing signs of weakness.
Our certified technician therefore came to the site to carry out a complete diagnosis of the HVAC system .
Diagnosis: Communication module failure
Upon visual inspection, the technician noted the wall unit's somewhat unusual location—installed directly above a wooden shelf, which slightly reduced airflow around the temperature sensor. After opening the front panel, the operating lights indicated a communication error between the indoor unit's electronic board and the outdoor unit's electronic board .
Using our instrumentation, we confirmed that:
-
The supply voltage was stable.
-
The compressor was no longer receiving the start signal.
-
The communication connections showed abnormal resistance.
Intervention: replacement of the control board
Once the diagnosis was made, our team recommended replacing the main electronic module (PCB) of the Sharp indoor unit. This part, essential for synchronization between the two modules, can deteriorate over time or as a result of micro power outages—a fairly common occurrence in certain neighborhoods of Laval.
After installing the new card, we have:
-
Cleaned the filter and temperature sensor.
-
Checked the R410A refrigerant pressure.
-
Reset the unit settings to calibrate communication.
Result: performance restored
The Sharp wall-mounted air conditioner immediately resumed normal operation. The customer was able to notice the return of a constant and quiet flow of cold air , demonstrating the effectiveness of the repair. We also advised slightly increasing the free space around the wall unit , in order to improve air circulation and prevent any accumulation of electronic heat.
