What to do if the air conditioner is fluorine-deficient

What should I do if the air conditioner is fluorine-deficient? Full analysis of popular topics and solutions on the entire network for 10 days

In the past 10 days, the issue of fluorine deficiency in air conditioners has soared on major social platforms and home forums. Especially as the high temperatures in summer continue, poor air conditioner refrigeration effect has become the focus of user complaints. The following are detailed solutions combined with hot spots across the network, including data analysis and operation guides.

1. Analysis of the hot topics of fluorine deficiency in the entire network (in the past 10 days)

2. Four typical symptoms of fluorine deficiency in air conditioners

According to the cases mentioned by the maintenance master on the entire network, fluorine deficiency is mainly manifested as:

3. 3-step self-test fluorine deficiency method (DiY scheme hotly discussed across the entire network)

Step 1: Temperature Test Method
Use a thermometer to measure the air outlet temperature. The normal value should be 8-12℃. If it is higher than 15℃ and the temperature difference is less than 8℃, you should be vigilant.

Step 2: Observe the status of the external unit
Check the external unit after 15 minutes of booting:
- Both copper tubes should be condensed (not frosted)
- The temperature of the thin tube is significantly lower than that of the thick tube

Step 3: Runtime comparison
Record the time to reach the set temperature:
- 1 horse air conditioner takes 10-15 minutes
- Fluorine deficiency may be possible after 20 minutes

4. Comparison of market price of fluoride (2024 latest data)

5. Anti-fraud guide (from 315 complaint cases)

Recent high-frequency complaint routines:
-False pressure gauge: The table adjustment shows fluorine deficiency (accounts for 42%)
-Lie to report the amount: 1P air conditioner claims to need to add 5 pressures (actually 3 are enough)
-Be inferior to good: Use inferior refrigerant (check the verification certificate number)

6. Expert advice
1. Priority for contacting the manufacturer after-sales service (the official channel fluorine deficiency complaint rate is only 3%)
2. Require on-site measurement of initial pressure value
3. Keep the temperature comparison video before and after fluoride addition

If you find that the air conditioner does not cool down continuously, it is recommended to cut off the power immediately and contact professional repairs to avoid damage to the compressor (the repair cost can be as high as 800-2,000 yuan).
