Does the indoor fan ramp up, or does it barely rotate. Some PTAC's have a indoor coil temp thermistor which must sense a large enough temp change before the fan will run at 100%. You got to know what you are looking for and need the service manual to test the thermistor. Probably going to have to call the Pro's
