Mitsubishi aircon not cold

A Mitsubishi aircon not cold is one of the most common problems faced by homeowners in Singapore. When the unit is running but the room still feels warm, it usually means something inside the system is not working efficiently.

At Letscool Aircon, we handle Mitsubishi aircon cooling issues daily, and in most cases, the problem can be fixed if diagnosed early.

Below are the real reasons why your Mitsubishi aircon may not be cooling properly.

Refer: Aircon Servicing Singapore

1. Dirty Air Filters Blocking Airflow

Air filters trap dust, dirt, and pollutants. When they are clogged, cold air cannot flow smoothly into your room.

Common signs:

  • Weak airflow
  • Air feels slightly cool but not strong
  • Higher electricity usage

πŸ›  Cleaning your filters every 2–4 weeks is essential in Singapore’s dusty and humid environment.

2. Fan Coil Unit Is Dirty Inside

Even if filters are clean, dust and mould can build up deep inside the fan coil unit.

What happens:

  • Cooling becomes slow
  • Air smells unpleasant
  • Water leakage may occur

βœ… Regular professional air conditioning servicing is needed to fully clean internal components.

3. Low Refrigerant (Gas) Level

If your Mitsubishi aircon blows air but never becomes cold, low gas pressure is a major cause.

Reasons gas becomes low:

  • Refrigerant leakage
  • Poor installation
  • Old copper piping

⚠ Simply topping up gas without fixing leaks will cause the problem to return.

4. Outdoor Condenser Is Dirty or Overheating

The outdoor unit releases heat from your room. When it is dirty or blocked, heat cannot escape properly.

Result:

  • Poor cooling performance
  • Aircon feels warm during the daytime
  • System strains and uses more power

πŸ”§ Condenser cleaning or chemical wash restores proper heat release.

5. Faulty Thermostat or Sensor

If the temperature sensor is faulty, your aircon may think the room is already cold and reduce cooling.

Symptoms:

  • Aircon stops cooling too soon
  • Inconsistent room temperature
  • Cooling works only intermittently

Professional inspection is required to recalibrate or replace sensors.

6. Electrical Component Issues

Mitsubishi aircon units rely on components like capacitors and PCB boards.

Possible problems include:

  • Aircon turns on but does not cool
  • Blinking lights or error codes
  • Sudden shutdowns

⚑ These issues should only be handled by trained technicians to avoid further damage.

7. Incorrect Aircon Size for the Room

An aircon that is too small for your room will never cool efficiently.

Common mistakes:

  • Low BTU unit for large rooms
  • One indoor unit serving multiple spaces

πŸ“ A proper site survey ensures correct aircon capacity for your space.

8. Poor or Aging Installation Piping

Old or badly installed copper piping can cause gas leaks and cooling loss.

Signs:

  • Repeated gas top-ups
  • Cooling improves briefly then fails again

Replacing old piping can permanently solve recurring cooling issues.

9. Lack of Regular Maintenance

Without regular servicing:

  • Dust builds up
  • Gas pressure drops
  • Components wear out faster

For Singapore homes, Mitsubishi aircon should be serviced every 3–6 months.
