  If your Koldfront air conditioner isn't cooling, consider these possibilities: * Ensure the unit is set to cooling mode and the set temperature is lower than the current room temperature. * The compressor can take up to 3 minutes to turn on, or longer if it is too warm. * The ambient temperature may be too high; try to lower the room temperature to below 90° F. * A dusty or blocked filter can restrict airflow. Clean the filter. * Make sure nothing is blocking the exhaust port.
