Why is there no condensation?? My portable a/c Technitrend model TN09E has been running for several hous , and there is no condensation. And the temp controll is barely droping. Can you plase help o

Dear Elaine,
Somewhere on that unit should be a "model number".
It should be like this: 40tyr0574jhf85If
If you could find that, type that model number into the web site for "SearsPartsDirect" and you should get a complete breakdown for your machine, including a printable owner's manual.
God bless your efforts.

Jello Joey,

Could be several things...

If there are small kids in the house... there are button
sequences that can place a REFRIGERATOR in
"SALES MODE"... as a DEMONSTRATOR the lights
are on... Not any MOTOR running...

Could be a defective door switch... Most modern models
are designed to STOP COOLING while the doors are open
(holding FROST accumulation down (warm/moist air)).

Could be a bad start capacitor on the compressor...
Evaporator & condenser fans might be heard but
COMPRESSOR only hums (occasionally)...

~~ Condenser FAN is a biggie (Perhaps just a
clogged/blocked CONDENSER...

Even a (remote possibility) a refrigerant issue...

WHICH can actually be fixed...

We will need to know how the machine is sounding...
behaving...(etc.).

Please expound... Your MODEL number
does not resolve to ANY USA refrigerator models...
but the PRINCIPLES are all the same...

Those "round" condenser coils need to be cleaned regularly...

I've never seen an air condition device that needs to add water to work. Actually they RELEASE condensation water and you need to collect this water or drain it through a tube

First check the box were the water goes. Not sure if you have a hose going out the window with the plastic hose the air conditioner will not work when the water bucket is full it should have a light on the front of the machine that shows you.

Hello,
That condenser fan motor needs to be replaced. You and doing the right thing as far as using a seperate fan to keep compressor cool,buy replacing the fan the compressor will run cooler and click off by being too hot as you have heard/seen.

Find your model number and call your local appliance parts store and see if they have a CONDERSER FAN MOTOR in stock

All portable or window ac units are mounted or standing with the back lower housing at a slope

so that the condensed water buildup from the evaporator can drain into a tray or thru a tube out

the back of the unit, depending on what kind of unit you have you may have to take it apart and

make sure the drain for the condensed water is not blocked. some times these units are not

installed correctly, they will not drain properly and standing water with time will turn to rust and

clog up the tube where it needs to flow from the ac unit. good luck!

I have the same problem with same model. Any help please.
Happy New Year.

Buy a condenser coil made for salt air. it will be stainless or copper.

drain system clogged or condensate pump no good
