Is your Kelvinator air conditioner showing up with Error Code E4 on the screen?
Error Code E4 on a Kelvinator air conditioner typically indicates an issue with the unit’s defrosting system. This error usually occurs when the defrosting sensor detects a problem, such as the system not working properly or a malfunction within the sensor itself. This prevents the air conditioner from operating effectively, as the defrosting cycle is crucial for maintaining its efficiency and longevity.
To fix the E4 error on your Kelvinator air conditioner, follow these steps:
Remember, regular maintenance of your air conditioner can prevent many common issues, including error codes like E4.
You may find your Kelvinator air conditioning unit needs resetting if it starts to malfunction or isn’t responding to any input via your control panel or remote control. Resetting your air conditioner re-starts the internal computer and can often restore the unit to normal working order. The exact instructions will vary depending on your model of Kelvinator air conditioner.
Typically, this procedure will be:
During normal air conditioner operation, dust, dirt, moisture from humidity or condensation, and microbial growths can build up on internal components. Left unchecked, these issues can corrode components like the evaporator coil and condenser coil. Over time, those components can become less effective and lead to a loss of efficiency or worse, a shorter air conditioner lifespan.
Regular AC maintenance and tune-ups can minimize many of the issues caused by a build-up of dirt and debris. If they are performed by an HVAC technician, these inspections allow your contractor to check for longer-term issues and in some cases take proactive steps to prevent premature failure or inconvenient breakdowns during the cooling season.
Annual air conditioner preventative maintenance may also be a requirement to keep your warranty valid as well. Many manufacturers state on warranty documentation that installation and maintenance by a licensed HVAC service provider are a part of the warranty conditions.
One simple way to potentially save money and prolong the life of an AC system is to make sure the outdoor unit stays clean. During normal operation, a fan in the outdoor unit pulls air through the condenser coil. Airborne dust and dirt particles and debris from nearby foliage can get lodged in the coil fins, restricting airflow and affecting performance.
If the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long period of time:
