How to troubleshoot Napoleon Air Conditioner unit that will not operate?
- R
  Rebecca RiversAug 3, 2025
  If your Napoleon Air Conditioner unit isn't working, start by checking the voltage at the contactor to ensure the power connection isn't loose. Also, inspect the fuses and breaker, replacing or resetting them as necessary. You can also try to reset the unit. Check for 24VAC at the contactor coil, and replace the contactor if it's open. Examine the wiring and replace the transformer if it's defective. Finally, if provided, reset the high-pressure control, referring to the high-pressure connection instructions.

Why does the compressor operate in short cycles in my Napoleon Air Conditioner?
- M
  Michael GrahamAug 9, 2025
  If your Napoleon Air Conditioner compressor is operating in short cycles, it might be due to incorrect voltage. Ensure the voltage at the compressor terminals is within +/10% of the nameplate marking when the unit is running. A defective overload protector could also be the cause, so replace it and check for the correct voltage. Lastly, a refrigerant undercharge could be the issue, requiring you to add more refrigerant.

What to do if my Napoleon 13 SEER Air Conditioner provides too little cooling?
- A
  Andre JonesAug 15, 2025
  If your Napoleon Air Conditioner isn't cooling enough, it could be due to a low voltage condition, which can be addressed by adding start kit components. An improperly sized unit may also be the cause, requiring a recalculation of the load. Insufficient indoor airflow, which should be around 400 CFM per ton, could be another factor. Additionally, check for an incorrect refrigerant charge and follow the charging procedure in the installation manual. Lastly, the presence of air, non-condensables, or moisture in the system may necessitate refrigerant recovery.

What to do if outdoor fan is on but compressor is off in Napoleon 13 SEER Air Conditioner?
- D
  Dr. Amber JohnsonAug 21, 2025
  If the outdoor fan is running but the compressor is off in your Napoleon Air Conditioner, a defective run or start capacitor might be the issue, requiring replacement. Similarly, a defective start relay should also be replaced. Check for correct voltage at the compressor and tighten all connections if there's a loose wire. If the compressor is stuck, grounded, has an open motor winding, or an open internal overload, wait at least 2 hours for the overload to reset; if it remains open, replace the compressor.

Why does my Napoleon 13 SEER have high head pressure and low suction pressure?
- T
  Tonya GomezAug 27, 2025
  If your Napoleon Air Conditioner has high head pressure and low suction pressure, there might be a restriction in the liquid line, expansion device, or filter drier, which would require removing or replacing the defective component. Another cause could be insufficient indoor airflow; in this case, clean or check the filters, registers, or evaporator coil for any obstructions.
