Question 1

The air conditioner cools little and releases a lot of heat at the back despite the drainage piping. The filters are cleaned. What to do?

Accepted Answer

After cleaning the filters, here are the points to check as a priority:

Cooling Efficiency

Close doors and windows - This is the most common cause: the room cannot cool if it is open to the outside.
Check the set temperature - Lower it by a few degrees to see an improvement.
Eliminate heat sources - Lamps, computers, electrical devices produce heat and counteract cooling.
Check the drainage hose - Make sure it is not bent, crushed, or blocked. A blocked hose drastically reduces efficiency.
Check the position of the hose - It should not rest on the ground or be coiled. A free circuit allows for better air circulation.

Heat at the Back

It is normal for a portable air conditioner to produce heat at the back - this is the condenser expelling the captured heat. As long as the hose is properly connected and free of obstruction, this heat is expelled outside.

If you still feel a lot of heat despite clear piping, check that the unit is not overheating (noisy fans, odor) and that the filters have no residue after cleaning.

Important Note

If you are cooling a very large space, a room that is very exposed to the sun, or if the outside temperature exceeds 35°C, this portable unit may not be sized to effectively cool the entire area. In this case, focus on using it in a smaller or closed room.

Question 2

The device is over 4 years old and I have never received a signal to empty the tank. Should I empty it now?

Accepted Answer

No, you are not required to empty the tank just because time has passed. The Sandstrøm SAC10C19E air conditioner is designed to automatically alert you when it is necessary.

How it works:

The device signals that the tank is full with the “P1” indicator on the LED screen
As long as you have not seen this signal, it means that the tank has not reached its maximum capacity
The filling frequency depends entirely on the humidity level in your room – some installations can operate for several months or years without intervention

If you prefer to avoid manual emptying: According to the manual, this model can be set to continuous drainage mode. You can then install an automatic drainage hose instead of managing a manual tank.
