Hi there, I have a Danny portable that’s a week ole and randomly it shuts down and displays an error code PC 02
Did you get an answer to the flashing AP issue? Mine is doing the same thing
Hi, I took apart my portable AC to clean it out, now when I plug it back in I’m getting a E4 code and a red light at the power button. I can confirm that all parts on my AC unit are well above 8°c. It was sitting in the hot sun for about 6 hrs before I brought it inside.
My new AC keeps short cycling anybodyknow how to fix.
Since the day I purchased my heat/cool floor model the wifi has not worked. Hold the swing button for 3 seconds it will beep but AP has never come up on the display. Tried with the remote and the QR Code and still it does not connect. It is out of warranty now because if covid so I can’t even have it repaired. Any help would be appreciated. Unit works great otherwise. Very happy with its functionality.
Any idea why a Danby portable unit model 140HEAUBDB beeps 3 times right after it is plugged in and it won’t come on either from the control panel button or the remote button? The display powers on and shuts down after the 3 beeps. No error number on the display.
Hi Sergio
Did you ever find an answer to this issue? Mine is doing the same thing. Just tried to start it up after taking it out of storage (for the winter). Worked fine when it was put away.
I have the same unit and the same problem ~ did you get an resolution to your problem?
Also had this issue though it beeped more then three times. Ended up getting a replacement via warrantee
