what does 8.8 mean? Does it have any thing to do with the timer?
Hi Monica,
There is a problem with the ac’s circuit caused by a power surge. Pls wait a hour and reset your ac.
Thank you!
My remote doesnt work all the time, I replaced batteries, I bought another remote to see if that was the problem. Now it doesnt even turn the unit on anymore. I think it may be the sensor on the unit not the remotes. Does anyone else have a problem with the remote? My remote has all the options and the base unit doesnt so I need this remote to work for the functions.
