Why is my Sharp AF-T908X not cooling sufficiently?
- A
  Andrew AcostaAug 16, 2025
  If your Sharp Air Conditioner isn't cooling enough, there might be several reasons: * The set temperature is too high: Lower the set temperature. * The air filter is clogged: Clean the air filter. * There's an added heat source: Remove the heat source. * Windows and doors are open: Ensure windows and doors are closed. * There is an object obstructing the air conditioner or the air conditioner is located near a heat source: Remove the object or move the air conditioner. Additionally, consider calculating the heat load, cleaning the coils with a steam cleaner, and checking the sealed system.

  James ThompsonAug 19, 2025
  If your Sharp Air Conditioner isn't cooling, possible causes include: * **Gas leak:** Repair the gas leak and recharge the system. * **Defective compressor:** Replace the compressor. * **Capillary tube restriction:** Replace the capillary tube. Also, check for any defects and repair or replace the faulty components. Improve ventilation and avoid direct sunshine. Calculate the cooling load and change or remove any heat sources.

  If the fuse or circuit breaker opens when your Sharp Air Conditioner is set to cooling, it could be due to: * **Insufficient fuse capacity:** Change to a fuse with the correct rating. * **Compressor locked:** Replace the compressor. * **Burned out compressor terminal/lead:** Solder the terminal or replace the compressor. * **Defective circuit insulation:** Replace the compressor. Also, ensure the circuit breaker is turned "ON" and repair any power source cut-offs or defective contacts.
