What the reported symptom tells us
needing a G3 qualified engineer rather than a general plumber. Record when this occurs, what changed beforehand and whether other equipment is affected. These observations narrow the investigation; they do not prove which part has failed.

Related fault and service guidance
Before your engineer visits
- Photograph the rating plate so we can identify the model and refrigerant.
- Write down when the problem started and whether it is constant or intermittent.
- Clear access to the indoor unit, condenser or plant area.
- Move stock out of failing fridges or cold rooms into a working unit if you can.
- Check the isolator and circuit breaker without opening any electrical panels.
- Keep previous service sheets and F-Gas leak-check records ready for the engineer.
- Tell us about roof, ladder, permit or out-of-hours access requirements when you book.
- Avoid repeatedly resetting equipment, because this can clear useful fault history.
