Worked great for a month. Now the air isn't nearly as cool & it is making random clicking and snapping noises. Any suggestions?

If the unit is running and cooling somewhat it could possibly have a refrigerant leak. Popping and snapping could be ice on the coil or line set or a mechanical issue with any number of things. I find a lot of problems with people not doing the flare fittings correctly and so this is a very common issue with leaks.

We've not had any problems, the only thing might be a pinhole leak in the connections between the indoor and outdoor unit, check all the connections and for leaks

Was the unit installed by you or an air conditioner professional? Did you do the wiring or have and electrician do the wiring? I would call the person (s) who did the installation and report the problem, if you installed I would recommend calling in the experts. There could be serious issues with the installation if not done properly and you don't want an electrical short. If it's the unit call Amazon.

Try pushing the prime button while the filter is running. It will help purge the excess air from the system. If it doesn't help, the company that makes the filter is really good about helping you fix any issues with the unit even if it means sending you a replacement. I had a problem with my filter leaking and they sent me another one right away. Since then I have had no issues with the filter.

Ok, I THINK mine is finally fixed. I had to send it in for repairs (thank goodness they have a 5 year warranty!) The tech comments are: Found motor malfunctioning. Replaced motor. Test operation. Found problem with air flow and filters/repair/replace filter.Test and verify good air flow and suction OK. Bad motor causing damage to filter.I just got it back last night and have only used it once but the filter didn't pop off!

Return it. Mine has been going for over a month strong. Haven't even used the 2nd one yet

I'd replace it. If had one for several weeks which I use for about 10 hours per day. It's been great so far with no humming noise!

Mine did the same thing and finally one broke. I wound up tossing it after a couple of months. :(

I've had one for a few years now and I came back here to update my review. If your sanimate is not producing the ozone and is possibly making a clicking sound it could have sediment of some kind built up in there. I used a vacuum (milage may vary) and ran it over the front of the Sanimate and its now quite and pumping out clean air again.

If it is a window unit and you can easily get to the outside of it securely tape it to the area where the air blows out for a month. Have it set for 10 second interval recordings. Remove it and see the actual times and length of times the temperature rises.

Thats what happened to mine! Altho, I didnt move....my cooling system stopped working within a couple months of me buying the machine. Its not worth it.

FYI, I have two of these fans and the one in my master bedroom started to have problems. during the recent heatwave, I had the fan running on high speed. after a while it started getting louder and would turn off randomly. I would turn the light switch off, wait a minute and then turn it back on. I really like the fan but honestly, next time I buy ceiling fans, I'm going to get a better brand.

We had the same problem. I think it was a sensor. We only had ours 2 weeks or so and returned it for a refund.

yeah something's wrong then, mine sounds like a jet engine winding up when turned on. And the airflow increases quite a bit from the low to high setting, as well as the feel of suction in the back from the air getting pulled in. Make sure all the filters are pressed all the way in and the back panel is snapped on because it has a safety feature that wont let it turn on when that cover isnt on. If all that is the case and its still not working id return it, the next one will be fine im sure.

So far as I can tell, the fan is not replaceable. However, I haven't tried to replace it, as the noise is barely perceptible to me. Airflow as well seems to be fine.

I'd have to go look it is now out in my garage collecting dust, only worked for about a month then wouldn't cool down. I'd look for something other than this model.

Mine smoked after less than a year (on my todo list to repair it) I bought an Astron SS-30 to replace it which is a lot quieter and smaller.

A failed actuator would blow hot air from AC or cold air from heater. I had the opposite symptom as yours, but it also made a constant tapping noise. So, look for other symptoms such as noise to pin point the location of the actuator. You could also use an auto code scanner to troubleshoot it. I would also make sure that the AC fuse is working. Then take the fuse out and put back in to reset the module.

YES, I've noticed this issue for about a month now after. Worked well for nearly a year prior.
