Why Perfect Aire Air Conditioner air from unit does not feel cold enough?
- R
  Robert MathisAug 16, 2025
  If the air from your Perfect Aire Air Conditioner doesn't feel cold enough, it could be because the room temperature is below 62°F (17°C). Cooling may not occur until the room temperature rises above this level. Also, check if the temperature sensor behind the air filter element is touching the cold coil and keep it away from the coil. Set the unit to a lower temperature. If you've recently changed modes, wait for 3 minutes after setting it to the COOL mode.

- A
  Angela StrongAug 21, 2025
  Your Perfect Aire Air Conditioner might not be starting due to several reasons. First, ensure the wall plug is firmly pushed into the outlet. If that's not the issue, check for a blown house fuse or a tripped circuit breaker and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Also, if the Plug Current Device has tripped, press the RESET button. Finally, make sure the power is turned ON.

What to do if Perfect Aire Air Conditioner cooling, but room is too warm and NO ice forming on cooling coil behind decorative front?
- E
  Elizabeth LaraAug 25, 2025
  If your Perfect Aire Air Conditioner is cooling but the room remains too warm without ice forming, several factors could be at play. Start by cleaning the air filter, as a dirty filter restricts airflow. Ensure the temperature isn't set too high; lower it. Check the air directional louvers and adjust them for better air distribution. Remove any obstructions like drapes or furniture blocking the front of the unit. Also, close any open doors, windows, or registers to prevent cold air from escaping. If you've just turned the unit on in a hot room, allow extra time for it to remove stored heat from the walls, ceiling, floor, and furniture.

  Debbie LynchAug 27, 2025
  If your Perfect Aire Air Conditioner is cooling, but the room is too warm and ice is forming on the cooling coil, it may be due to several reasons. If the outdoor temperature is below 64°F (18°C), set the unit to FAN ONLY mode to defrost the coil. Also, the air filter may be dirty, so clean it. Refer to the Care and Cleaning section for instructions. To defrost, set to FAN ONLY mode. If the thermostat is set too cold for nighttime cooling, set it to FAN ONLY mode to defrost the coil, then set the temperature to a higher setting.

  If your Perfect Aire Air Conditioner is turning on and off rapidly, it could be due to a dirty air filter restricting airflow, so clean the air filter. Alternatively, if the outside temperature is extremely hot, set the FAN speed to a higher setting to bring air past the cooling coils more frequently.
