9 month old unit and have had issues cooling already
May 26, 2026
Have had to have service done 4+ times due to non cooling and the unit is not even 9 months old yet. Seems the dissipation sensor went bad and was not diagnosed the first 2 calls. Took two more calls to diagnose and replace this sensor. Not impressed with the new unit at all.
The best!
