What you can check yourself
Troubleshooting
Settings, door seals, the condenser grille, the drain, the shut-off valve, the model number. None of it needs a tool you do not own, and each answer removes a branch of the diagnosis. These guides also say plainly where to stop: a sealed system and a mains connection are not places to experiment.
