Your Hisense Air Conditioner is not Cooling? Here's a Tip

[@daddski1]

we got a 25000 btu , 240v a/c from Hisense a few months ago when our frigidare died. The first thing was this. It cooled our 1100 sq foot house in minutes. Was so impressed. Went from 98 degrees inside to 65 degrees in literally 20 min or less. FANTASTIC... Then one day,,..... We noticed it getting warmer and warmer. IT would not cool no matter what the house went to 80 degrees and wouldnt go lower. What had happened TWO THINGS at different times. The power had gone out in the middle of the night for a few min. WHen it came back the a/c restarted at 77 instead of 67. No biggie. we changed the temp but nothing. WHat I found out was simple. It had to be reset . I pushed the fan speed and the cooling button at the same time for about 5 seconds. THe digital temp went to double dash lines. Then restarted. IT worked perfectly. Back to normal so whenever we have a power problem I know to reset. Easy peasey THEN ANOTHER THING The light for cleaning the filter came on. Again I noticed the temp went up and no matter where we had it set, the actual temp would not cool beyond 78 degrees. I cleared the button and still nothing... I knew the screen was not dirty. But opened the front anyway and just removed the clear and clean screen.... Then replaced it and shut the front. Magically the A/c worked perfectly again. SO things to remember, it really expects you to clean that screen and some sensor connected to the front of the a/c knows whether you took out the screen or not (or at least that you opened it up like to clean it) Snap shut and perfect. So... in the few months we have had it. The cooling is far superior to our Frigidaire that was also 25k btu. It blows much harder and we love it. The price was fantastic as well. Just remember, if it stops cooling... There is a reason. do maintenance and clear its brain. open the front, clean the screen even if minor particles are there. Enjoy.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

That being said it looks like you got lucky in your case. I find my Frigidaire to be clunky and highly difficult to use. I press the temperature down button it goes into eco mode. I press the temperature up button it goes into cool mode. I use the dimmer button to dim the screen And it turns on eco mode. It's almost as if Hisense expects the people who buy their products to be unable to use it and should just listen to what the air conditioner wants it to do. That being said when I modify it put it on super cool it does cool pretty well. I won't buy another Hisense AC again though

[@beckytaylor8041]

OMG thank you so much for this tip!!! You are a lifesaver! I was ready to toss the AC because nothing else worked. Thank you again!!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

No problem it's comments like those that make this worth doing! Sometimes I second guess spending my weekends editing and shooting videos and putting strength on myself and my loved ones. I really appreciate the thank you

[@richstacey1707]

To hard reset by unplugging the unit from the power outlet, while unplugged, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Once the unit is back on select cool mode-my unit was blowing just warm air until i hard reset worked perfect

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Awesome thank you!

[@kimmoore0427]

So how does it reset while it's UNPLUGGED? I plugged it back in, THEN held down the power button. It worked, blew cold BUT only for about 10 minutes. Then it was blowing warm again. Any suggestions?

[@kimmoore0427]

I also held down power button for 30 seconds. It didn't reset.

Thanks Great it works ♥️♥️🤍

[@karied6175]

Totally worked for me. Thanks

[@ashleyknott2683]

Mine is a few years old. Looks just like the one pictured in the video. Remote got lost no long after I got it. The a.c. itself isnt compressing for colder air or anything. Cleaned filter and coils and its still like its not even trying

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Does it have Wi-Fi? Maybe controlling it through the app would help.

Thank you so much I did not even know that that solved the problem I hit super now it's cooling much better thank you!!!!!!

[@Black____]

I have the model AP1019CW1G and today it won't go under 82 degrees, any possible solution? My remote looks like yours but it doesn't have the super button

[@PizzlesTechTime]

I have heard doing a full reset of the air conditioner can fix this issue. It could be many reasons but I would try to do a full reset. Which without knowing the model number I can't tell you how to do that. Just tried to look that up I believe you would unplug it and press the reset button on the cord. There is probably another step but like I said it is different for every model

[@tonythescorpion44]

Both of mines keep getting disconnected from the internet now one of the remotes is not working. Just had them for about a month. Getting frustrated with them.

[@Angelimadero]

Anyone know why the temperature is blinking? It’s blowing cool air but no longer cooling the room. Also the remote is in Celsius and the display is in Fahrenheit 🤦🏻‍♀️. I need it displayed in Celsius.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

I would try a factory reset. Does your air conditioner have Wi-Fi?

[@Angelimadero]

No wifi but I did a factory reset and it still continues to blink. I have it set to 61 degrees on the remote and it’s at 64 on the unit and blinking. The room is not cooling.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@Angelimadero So have you unplugged it and clicked the button on the plug and left it unplugged for 1 minute. It sounds to me like there may be an internal issue.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@Angelimadero Do you have the model number for this specific air conditioner

[@Angelimadero]

And maintenance person for the unit stated it’s blowing cold air and did not fix it. Same unit in living room and it’s cold in that room with same temperature set

Does it have super on the remote?

[@karimba45]

@@PizzlesTechTime yes it does!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@@karimba45 okay I would start here put the printer on cool and turn it all the way down. Turn the fan all the way to high and then press the super on the air conditioner remote once. That should turn super on. I'm not sure if you have the Wi-Fi version but you can connect and control it from the app easier as well

[@karimba45]

@@PizzlesTechTime tried this but it’s still not blowing really cold air

[@goodmorningahaha4787]

i’m taking mine back it only shoots hot airrr and my room stays at 90

[@DorisClay]

I'm glad it's not just me that finds this ac to be craptastic. How hard is it to make a cooling product that you simply can set the temperature to and it keeps it cool? I have cheap space heaters that do that just fine. I had mine for years but only recently realized that the super button is the most useful button on this thing. Usually, I have to try several different times to adjust the temperature down to the 60s, for it to cool long enough to keep my room in the 70s. I'm definitely not buying this brand ever again.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Yeah to be quite honest with you I am pretty upset with Frigidaire right now as well. They have discontinued the Wi-Fi functions on two of my air conditioners. I contacted their support and they basically told me too bad. I have five Frigidaire air conditioners that were supposed to connect wirelessly. I think I will be looking into getting a different brand other than Hisense and Frigidaire. Companies treat their customers like shhhh now. The Hisense air conditioner is easier to use if you install the mobile app. As long as you don't mind the country of origin being China. I have too much tech to worry about that

[@janlea1036]

How do you know if the super button worked when you hit it on the remote?

[@PizzlesTechTime]

First of all this air conditioner and remote is one of the most aggravating I have ever used. Make sure the air conditioner is on high and the air conditioner is on the lowest temperature. Then you have to make sure that the remote has been used to change the settings. If you press super in the air conditioner starts making a loud noise you have done it properly. I do believe the remote also has an indicator but I'm usually looking at it at night. If it is not doing anything try those steps first.

[@janlea1036]

You Crack me up!!! Lol I think that was my error, I only used the super on remote, did everything else manually. Thank you!

[@janlea1036]

​@PizzlesTechTime since I tried both steps from your video last night, our AC is cooling so much better. It's set on 69 degrees and still cuts on and off as it should, but the air is ten times cooler!!! Thank you!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@janlea1036 Yes a very strange design in my opinion. I would rather the air conditioner work properly and like you said turn on and off when the temperature is reached. I can't say for sure but I don't think I'll buy another Hisense. Actually I now have a bunch of Frigidaire in the application is not great but the connectivity with Wi-Fi is good

[@lanitapotts281]

Thank you because I was wondering about that issue

[@rondahillis9220]

Greg, Is this the info to get the heater working also? I have the AC/Heater wall unit (not split unit). Thanks so much!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

I apologize if the heater has a super mode then this should work. I am not 100% sure as my unit only has AC.

[@sheilaray-cagle858]

My Hisense window ac stopped blowing cold suddenly today. Ive had it 2 months now. I tried everything mentioned here and still no luck. I will never buy another of these.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Check the recent comments someone had dropped a way to reset the air conditioner I will retype it in this comment if I can find it I just got to work though

My fan doesn't come on, but compressor does then kicks out in a few minutes. Capacitor is ok. Help please. New unit

I know very little about the mechanical parts. I probably won't be much help

[@spirittammyk]

Well, I bought my a year ago and has no remote. Back then, it worked just fine at cooling the house down (my house is small, about 800 square feet). But maybe a month ago I noticed it's blowing cold air out but it's not getting the humidity and heat out of the room like before. I already taken it out and cleaned it like you should and no cigar. I just think it's a crappy brand and I'm going back to another brand.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

is it a portable or window unit? Does it have Wifi?

[@spirittammyk]

@@PizzlesTechTime It's a window unit, and it does have the wifi logo on it, but like I said, it never had a remote and it was working fine for a year till around the end of June when I started noticing that it would blown cold air, then hot then cold again. I already had a mechanic friend come over and he took it apart and cleaned it for me and we put it back in and it's still not working good. He thinks the compressor already went bad and he did tell me Hisense are junk and I should stick with GE or Frigidaire in the future. I already tried to see about the warranty, but it was only a year and it already expired a month before it started to go bad. Convenient, huh?

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@@spirittammyk I will never buy a Hisense again! Usually there is a button on the air conditioner you can press for WiFi. If it doesn't have a physical button you'd need remote or a remote programed for the AC. In sorry to hear about that!

[@Dr.satan94]

I’ve got a Hisense portable air conditioner. 6000btu and cools a 250sqft bedroom. I have a small apartment bedroom which is around 140 sqft maybe? Keep in mind, I just got this yesterday. I set the temp to 61 (lowest temp), have it on cool setting, and on high fan mode. It’s been on constantly since yesterday when I got it. And during the day it won’t go under 72-74 or so. At night it got down to 64. Won’t go down to the 61 I set it at. Am I doing something wrong? Kinda bummed I just spent all that money for it to not make my room cold.

For anyone reading this trying to fix their Hisense air conditioner, I just fixed mine. It’s good to clean your filters but that was not why mine was not putting out cold air. Press and hold the power button while it is on. The unit will power off, but continue holding it until you hear a few beeps. Then go to the plug into the wall and press the reset button on it. Turn your machine back on. The cooling compressor will now work ❄️

When I hold the button down it doesn't do the beeps, any suggestions?

Swing not working and not opening

[@PizzlesTechTime]

That is weird isn't it a plastic piece? You might want to take off the grill of the air conditioner or try to see in there to see if it is connected. Usually it's a white piece of plastic with a hook on it that pulls another piece in and out of the foam of the air conditioner

@MihaiCatalinToma is this a portable AC? That may be the problem you must make sure the exhaust is taped off and there is no heat coming from the back of the air conditioner to the exhaust in the window.
