I have a Chigo Model # KF35C2A-W the compressor tries to start but shuts down within a few seconds. I
get an FC code in the LED window inside. I’ve checked all connections and they appear to be fine. The
main outside power board seems fine. I get 7 flash’s from the read light on the outside board then it stays
on and back to 7 flash’s again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Please reply here for everyone else but send me an email. Thank you.

I have a Chigo CFA-50CO

IT runs well after starting but after 10 or 15 minutes it turns off Automatically without any alarm. no over
current fault and no activated timer, i checked the temp and pressure sensors and they are working
properly…

I have a Chigo home air conditioning unit & it’s displaying PF and no cold air is coming out – just
blowing like a fan – does anyone know what this means or if there is a way to fix it without getting a
technician out?
