How to troubleshoot the error code E1 on your Blueridge Mini Split?
The error code E1 relates to the air filter. It’s basically your AC’s way of telling you that it’s time you clean them. Cleaning the air filter is an easy and simple process and doesn’t take more than a few minutes. First, power off the AC and then remove the air filter and clean it. After you have dried the air filter, reinsert it and power on the unit.
However, sometimes you may get this error code even after you have cleaned the air filters. In that case, you can try either of the two solutions.
First Solution
Unplug your Blueridge mini split air conditioner. Now, holding down the power button, plug it back and wait until you hear a beep sound. Now, release the power button and unplug the unit. Finally, plug it back.
Second Solution
Unplug your Blueridge mini split air conditioner. Now, holding down the mode button, plug it back and wait until you hear a beep sound. Release the mode button. Your AC will start, but turn it off. Turn it back again, and hopefully, the issue will not reappear.
If the problem persists, contact your local AC repair service.
How to resolve the Error Code E7 on your Blueridge multi-zone units?
This error code refers to mode conflict. Basically, you have one unit set to heating and another set to cooling. To fix the issue, set all the units to either cooling or heating.
How to troubleshoot the issue of the Blueridge Mini Split Smelling?
A smelling mini-split indicates that something is not right with your air corn. Listed ahead are some of the most common smells and what they imply.
Vinegar – If the unit smells like vinegar or gives off a sweet odor, it usually means that it is losing refrigerant. Another indication of a refrigerant leakage is lack of chilled air. You should get in touch with your local AC repair service to get the refrigerant filled.
Mildew, Musty, or Sour – Mildew, musty, or sour smell indicates a mold problem. Ask your local AC repair technician to have a look and, if needed, get the condensate drain rinsed.
Fish – If your Blueridge air conditioner smells like it, it’s probably because of a leakage or some electrical issue. Get your unit checked by your local AC repair service.

How to troubleshoot the issue of the Blueridge Mini Split Not Cooling?
If your AC is not cooling properly, first check if the temperature setting is appropriate. If it’s not, change the temperature setting. Next, make sure the windows and doors of the room are not open. If the hot air is coming from outside, your AC will not be able to cool properly.
If neither of these is an issue, check whether the air filter is blocked or not. A blocked air filter can prevent your air-corn from reaching the desired comfort levels. Cleaning the air filter is an easy and simple process and doesn’t take more than a few minutes. First, power off the AC and then remove the air filter and clean it. After you have dried the air filter, reinsert it and power on the unit.
If the error still persists, chances are that your unit is low on refrigerant. You must get your unit checked by an HVAC technician and, if needed, have the refrigerant refilled.
How to Troubleshoot the Blueridge Mini-Split Unit Is Not Starting Issue?
Your mini-split AC may not start because of several reasons. First, try to find the underlying cause because that will govern the troubleshooting steps you need to run to fix the problem.
This problem can occur due to any of the following reasons:
The remote control is unable the signal – Are you standing a long way off from the unit’s control panel? If so, the latter might not be catch the signal. Come closer and press the “power” button.
Remote control batteries are dead or installed incorrectly – If your remote control batteries are dead or improperly installed, the AC will not power on. Remove the AC remote batteries and try them with a remote of another device, such as your TV. If they aren’t working, replace them. If the batteries work fine with another device, ensure they are properly installed. If the error still persists, try the next solution.
A tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse – Check your unit’s circuit breaker or fuse. Flip your circuit breaker or replace the fuse to solve the issue. If this is something you are not comfortable doing yourself, contact your local AC repair expert.
How to troubleshoot the issue of Your Blueridge Mini Split Dripping Water?
If your Blueridge air conditioner is dripping water, it’s probably because of some problem with the condensate drain. Chances are that it is clogged with mold, resulting in water backing up and spilling. Speak to your local AC repair expert to get the issue fixed.
