Accurate diagnosis of an internal breakdown
At AirGreen , we respond weekly to HVAC repair calls related to Gree wall-mounted heat pumps , which are very popular in homes on the South Shore of Montreal . This call came from a customer in Sainte-Julie , who was concerned that his indoor unit was no longer blowing cold air, despite having a running outdoor compressor.
Background and symptoms observed
The Gree wall-mounted heat pump, installed about five years ago in an open-plan living room, showed several typical signs of failure:
-
The wall unit powered on normally, but no airflow was coming out of the fins.
-
The outdoor compressor was running, confirming that the problem was with the indoor unit .
-
No error code visible on the remote.
This type of symptom often indicates a failure of the interior ventilation motor , a mechanical blockage , or even a defective control board .
Stages of technical diagnosis
Upon our arrival, we carried out a methodical inspection :
-
Removed the front cover and visually inspected the filters: no significant obstructions.
-
Blower motor electrical test : no response despite power supply.
-
Checking the electronic board using a multimeter: fluctuating voltage, irregular signal.
-
Tangential fan inspection : free of debris and excessive dust.
Our measurements quickly confirmed that the main board of the indoor unit was defective , preventing the signal from being transmitted correctly to the blower motor.
Repair carried out
Our team replaced the original Gree electronic board , supplied by our stock of certified parts. This operation required:
-
Safe disconnection of the power supply .
-
Complete disassembly of the front panel .
-
Disconnecting internal sensors and connectors .
-
Installation of the new card and its calibration according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Once the card was replaced, we performed a full system test :
-
The unit powered back up without error.
-
The indoor fan has resumed a constant and quiet airflow .
-
The ambient temperature dropped by 2°C in less than ten minutes.
Final result
The customer was able to return to the comfort of his home in just a few hours.
We also took advantage of the visit to carry out:
-
Cleaning the filters .
-
A check of the refrigerant circuit pressures .
-
A check of the condensate drainage to avoid any future risk of water leaks.
Thanks to this rapid intervention, the Gree heat pump regained its original performance and stable operation .
Why entrust your repair to AirGreen?
Gree wall-mounted heat pumps offer remarkable reliability, but like any HVAC unit, they require specific expertise when performing electronic repairs. At AirGreen, our technicians:
-
Are trained on Gree, Fujitsu, Midea and Lennox systems .
-
Use only genuine parts to ensure durability.
-
Apply advanced security and diagnostic protocols .
We advise our customers in Sainte-Julie and the surrounding area to schedule annual maintenance , particularly before the hot summer months. This maintenance helps prevent:
-
Electronic card failures due to dust.
-
Blower motor overheats.
-
Drainage duct obstructions.
