Aircon fan

Post by al & chris » Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:38 pm

With aircon on i am sure i used to hear the fan come on behind radiator. Cant seem to make it come on now. Is this because of outside temp in winter or has is stopped working. Seem to remember it coming on quite a lot.

hi

it does have a protection system to stop it working in low temp, but i am not sure what it is set at, somewhere near to freezing i would have thought ?

Hi al & chris,

Your system might be needing charged,the fan wont come on if you have lost pressure in the system.

Cheers..

My fans start with aircon when temp is around freezing point so yours has probably lost pressure and need re-gassing .
