- Use dust catcher or water to clean. When the filter is very dirty, the water (below 113oF) to clean it, and then put it in a shady and cool place to dry.
- Reinstall the filter making sure the filter’s two tabs are in the correct place and the middle of the filter is secured underneath the white tab, then close the panel cover.
The indoor air handler’s filter should be cleaned every three months, but may require cleaning more often based on the conditions of the room. It is not harmful to increase the cleaning frequency.
Use caution after the filter has been removed. The fins of the evaporator coil will be exposed and are very sharp. Do not touch the fins, as touching the fins can cause injury as well as a decrease in the unit’s performance.

My cooling light flashes and can not adjust the temp only can turn it off and on
mine is doing the same thing did you ever find an answer to yours?
What does it mean “local communication error” – E8?
I’ve got error code E8 on my BLUERIDGE split air conditioner /inverter/.
What does it mean and what I have to do to resume the heating mode?
I am trying to run my heater but I get a P6 code. So unhappy with these units. Lately, when using air conditioner, it occasionally shows a P6 & is not cooling. I didn’t even see a P6 on your error code list. We had to have a new condenser unit replaced because it wasn’t working. All worked on at first, but after a couple of months, no. The condensor is new; all units/heads are new. It is so undependable. A call to HVAC man will be another big Bill. Recently, I was in a place with a Mitsubishi unit. It was so cool & comfortable. We spent a lot of money on this system, installation & new electric service. I cannot recommend a Blue Ridge Alpine system to anyone, at this time.
If you can help me get this thing working, that would be appreciated. It’s cold in here!
Trying it again. It is set on heat at 74 degrees. Door to vents opened. I turned on Turbo. Five minutes & nothing. Now, there is another P6 code showing! Glad I have a dog & 2 cats sleeping with me to keep me warm! I have gone from being frustrated to PO’d!
this is kevin miles not work a/c error f5 i tried to look i cant find model is bm18m21wm
