Gree Air Conditioner Troubleshooting
*Problem
Water leaking from the indoor unit into the room.
Cause/Solution
Cause: While it is normal for the system to generate condensate water in coolingmode, it is designed to drain this water via a condensate drain system to a safe location.
Solution: If water is leaking into the room, it may indicate one of the following
- The indoor unit is not level right to left. Level indoor unit.
- The condensate drain pipe is restricted or plugged.All restrictions must be removed to allow continuous drainage by gravity.
- If problem persists,contact a qualified service professional for assistance
*Problem
Wireless remote controller does not work.
Cause/Solution
Cause: There are a number of possible reasons
Solution: Check the following:
- The batteries might be low. Change the batteries.
- The remote controller must be within 25 ft. (7.5 m) with no obstructions of the indoor unit. If remote controller needs to be replaced,contact a qualified service professional for assistance. In the meantime, use the Aux Button to operate the system.
*Problem
The unit will not deliver air
Cause/Solution
Cause: There are a number of system functions that will prevent air flow.
Solution: Check for the following:
- In heating mode, the indoor fan may not start for three minutes if the room temperature is very low.This is to prevent blowing cold air.
- In heat mode, if the outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, the system may need to defrost for up to 10 minutes before beginning a heating cycle.
- In dry mode, the indoor fan may stop for up to three minutes during the compressor off delay.
- Otherwise, you should contact a qualified service professional for assistance
*Problem
Moisture orcondensation on the discharge air louvers or outlet vents.
Cause/Solution
Cause: It is normal for the system to develop condensation or moisture on the discharge air louvers when cooling warm humid air for a long period of time.
Solution: The condensation or moisture will disappear as the system cools and dehumidifies the room space.
*Problem
System does not restart
Cause/Solution
Cause: The system has a built-in three-minute delay to prevent short and/or rapid cycling of the compressor.
Solution: Wait three minutes for the protection delay to expire.
*Problem
Indoor unit emits unpleasant odor when started
Cause/Solution
Cause: Typically unpleasant odors are the result of mold or mildew forming on the coil surfaces or the air filter.
Solution: Wash indoor air filter in warm water with mild cleaner. If odors persist, contact a qualified service professional to clean the coil surfaces.
*Problem
You hear a“water flowing”sound
Cause/Solution
Cause: It is normal for the system to make“water flowing”or“gurgling”sounds from refrigerant pressures equalizing when the compressor starts and stops.
Solution: The noises should discontinue as the refrigerant system equalizes after two or three minute.
*Problem
A thin fog or vapor coming out of the indoor unit when system is running
Cause/Solution
Cause: It is normal for the system to emit a slight fog or water vapor when cooling extremely humid warm air.
Solution: The fog or water vapor will disappear as the system cools and dehumidifies the room space
*Problem
The system will not run
Cause/Solution
Cause: There are a number of situations that will prevent the system from running.
Solution: Check for the following:
- Circuit breaker is “tripped” or “turned off.”
- Power button of remote is not turned on.
- Batteries in the remote controller are low.
- Remote controller is in sleep mode or timer mode.
- Otherwise,contact a qualified service professional for assistance
*Problem
Wireless remote controller does not work
Cause/Solution
Cause: There are a number of possible reasons

I am getting the HC code on my two units ( AC and heating units ), and it appears to only be the fans working and I have it set for AC. I had certified service people over last year who charged a significant amount to change the gaz… and then have to come back a few days later because they had not put enough gaz… and now i am starting the summer season with this ? the information relating to this HC code are not very explicit on your site and I would prefer not to have to pay another $800 for what appears to be subpar certified service support in my area. I would appreciate an honest and clear answer as I am currently not feeling the trust with your certified service people for my region. I can provide additional information if you require it?
