  Diana PetersAug 6, 2025
  If your Friedrich air conditioner isn't cooling or heating effectively, and cycles on and off too often, consider these possibilities: * Make sure the air vents aren't blocked by things like curtains or furniture. * Check that all windows and doors are properly closed. * Adjust the temperature to a cooler or warmer setting as needed. * Clean any dirt or obstructions from the indoor and outdoor coils. See Routine Maintenance section. * Reduce excessive heat or moisture in the room by using exhaust fans and avoiding heat-producing appliances during hot times. * Give the unit extra time to cool down a very hot room.

  If your Friedrich air conditioner is not cooling well or only cools slightly, consider the following: * Refer to industry standard sizing chart to check if the unit is undersized. * See alarms and replace thermistor if indoor ambient thermistor is open or shorted. * Clean the filter as recommended in the Owner’s Manual. * Clean dirty or restricted condenser or evaporator coil using pressure wash or biodegradable cleaning agent. * Adjust discharge louvers and use high fan speed to improve air circulation. * Check for leak & make repair if the unit has low capacity undercharge. * Check amperage draw against nameplate and make pressure test if the compressor is not pumping properly.

  If your Friedrich air conditioner is not operating, here are some possible causes and solutions: * Ensure the unit is turned on and the temperature is set appropriately. * Check that the LCDI power cord is properly plugged into a grounded outlet. * If the LCDI power cord has tripped (reset button popped out), press the RESET button. * Inspect the circuit breaker or fuse. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse if necessary. If problems continue, contact a qualified electrician. * In case of a local power failure, the unit should resume operation once power is restored.

Why does my Friedrich WallMaster WS10C10 Air Conditioner keep tripping the circuit breaker?
- J
  Jerry PriceAug 26, 2025
  If your Friedrich Air Conditioner trips the circuit breaker or blows fuses, it could be due to several reasons: * Other appliances are sharing the same circuit. This unit needs its own dedicated circuit. * An extension cord is in use. Avoid using extension cords with air conditioners. * The circuit breaker, fuse, or wiring isn't properly rated. Ensure you're using components with the correct rating. If issues persist, consult a licensed electrician.

  barbara65Aug 31, 2025
  If your Friedrich Air Conditioner's LCDI power cord trips frequently (reset button pops out), it could be due to disturbances on your power supply line or electrical overload, overheating, or cord pinching. To resolve this, press and release the RESET button. Ensure any underlying issues like electrical overload or cord pinching are addressed before resetting.
