Hisense is a multinational white goods and electronics manufacturer based in China. It is the largest television manufacturer in China since 2004, yet offers a wide range of other electrons and appliances as well. Offering its products under a range of brands such as Sharp, Toshiba, Hisense, Ronshen, Kelon, and Gorenje. While the brand name may vary, the products are designed and manufactured by Hisense.
Apart from TVs, the second focus Hisense has is on air conditioning units. These units are available for home and office use, and can easily match your requirements. With a wide range of selections, you cannot go wrong with the one that compliments your space. However, like any other electronic appliance, Hisense ACs are open to errors and issues. Fortunately, most of them are minor and easily fixable.
To help you out we have listed down some of the most common error codes for Hisense ACs. Start by noting down the error code, and match it using the list below. Once you have the error code you can easily find out which area of your air conditioner is acting up, and how to best deal with the situation at hand. Rather than letting someone poke through the system, you can ensure a quick and easy fix.

Portable AC Codes
Before calling for service, please try the suggestions below.
Display codes
- If the unit displays error code E5, the water container is full. Drain the water, see “Draining the air conditioner”. After draining, the unit can be operated again.
- P3: High temperature protection of ambient temperature sensor in cooling mode. When the ambient temperature is higher than 65°C, the system displays P3 protection and all units stop running. When the ambient temperature returns drops below 58°C, P3 is removed and normal operation resumes.

Troubleshooting
The following cases may not always be a malfunction, please check it before asking for service.
Trouble: Does not run
Analysis:
- If the protector trip or fuse is blown.
- If the plug is not properly plugged.
- If batteries in the remote controller exhausted.
- Please wait for 3 minutes and start again, protector device may be preventing unit to work
Trouble: No cooling or heating air
Analysis:
- Is the air filter dirty?
- Are the intakes and outlets of the air conditioner blocked？
- Is the temperature set properly？
Trouble: Ineffective control
Analysis: If strong interference(from excessive static electricity discharge, power supply voltage abnormality presents, operation will be abnormal. At this time, disconnect from the power supply and connect back 2-3 seconds later.
Trouble: Peculiar odor
Analysis: This odor may come from another source such as furniture, cigarette etc, which is sucked in the unit and blows out with the air.

Hi! My new portable air conditioner shut off in every 5-10 minutes and turns back on. What’s the error in it and how can I solve this error?
Hi Neha, This may be caused by a bad connection, a broken thermostat, a faulty circuit board, a condenser or compressor not receiving power properly.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know.
Have a good day.
Our ac is showing error code 39 and flashes 11 times.
HISENSE model CSA24 temperature Display goes double Dots “–”
why and is not reset even if power source is disconnected, why?
appreciated if answered
regards
Hi I installed an ac inverter today is showing 36 if the out door unit about to pick what can I do pls I’ve checked the connection of wire everything is correct pls help me out
error show’s ( 6 times blinking the power led or red led) why? anyone can help to trouble shooting this?
Am having the same challenge now, how did u solve yours?
