i'm getting error code e2 on the display, what does that mean and how do i fix it
E2 on Santa Fe units is almost universally a "high pressure" or "condenser temperature" error. It means the system on the hot side (condenser) is getting too h…
-
the display and controls work but the fan and compressor never come on, just sits there set to 'on'
The unit is getting power to the brain (control board) but the board isn't sending the "go" signal to the major components. This often points to a failed senso…

how do i clean the damn coil on this thing, i can see dust and crap all over it through the grille
That built-up dust on the aluminum evaporator coil acts as insulation, making the unit work way harder and less efficiently. It needs a physical cleaning. Unpl…
-
the unit is running but not pulling any water out of the air, humidity in my crawl space isn't dropping at all
Yeah, this one's common. If the fan is running but it's not dehumidifying, the compressor isn't kicking on. The most likely culprit is the evaporator coil bein…
