Troubleshooting

Please check below items before asking for maintenance.

Phenomenon: Indoor unit can’t receive remote controller’s signal or remote controller has no action.

Check items:

  1. Whether remote controller is within the signal receiving range?
  2. Whether there are obstacles?
  3. Whether remote controller is pointing at the receiving window?
  4. Is sensitivity of remote controller low; fuzzy display and no display?
  5. No display when operating remote controller?
  6. Fluorescent lamp in room?

Solution:

  1. Signal receiving range is 8m.
  2. Remove obstacles.
  3. Select proper angle and point the remote controller at the receiving window on indoor unit.
  4. Check the batteries. If the power of batteries is too low, please replace them.
  5. Check whether remote controller appears to be damaged. If yes, replace it.
  6. Take the remote controller close to indoor unit.

Phenomenon: No air emitted from indoor unit

Check items:

  1. Air inlet or air outlet of indoor unit is blocked?
  2. Under heating mode, indoor temperature is reached to set temperature?
  3. Heating mode is turned on just now?

Solution:

  1. Eliminate obstacles.
  2. After reaching to set temperature, indoor unit will stop blowing out air.
  3. In order to prevent blowing out cold air, indoor unit will be started after delaying for several minutes, which is a normal phenomenon.

Phenomenon: Air conditioner can’t operate

Check items:

  1. Power failure?
  2. Is plug loose?
  3. Air switch trips off or fuse is burnt out?
  4. Wiring has malfunction?
  5. Unit has restarted immediately after stopping operation?
  6. Whether the function setting for remote controller is correct?

Solution:

  1. Wait until power recovery.
  2. Reinsert the plug.
  3. Ask professional to replace air switch or fuse.
  4. Ask professional to replace it.
  5. Wait for 3min, and then turn on the unit again.
  6. Reset the function.

Phenomenon: Mist is emitted from indoor unit’s air outlet

Check items: Indoor temperature and humidity is high?

Solution: Because indoor air is cooled\rapidly. After a while, indoor temperature and humidity will be decrease and mist will disappear.

Phenomenon: Cooling ( heating) effect is not good

Check items:

  1. Voltage is too low?
  2. Filter is dirty?
  3. Set temperature is in proper range?
  4. Door and window are open?

Solution:

  1. Wait until the voltage resumes normal.
  2. Clean the filter.
  3. Adjust temperature to proper range.
  4. Close door and window.

Phenomenon: Outdoor unit has vapor

Check items: Heating mode is turned on?

Solution: During defrosting under heating mode, it may generate vapor, which is a normal phenomenon.

Phenomenon: ”Water flowing” noise

Check items: Air conditioner is turned on or turned offjust now?

Solution: The noise is the sound of \refrigerant flowing inside the unit, which is a normal phenomenon.

Phenomenon: Cracking noise

Check items: Air conditioner is turned on or turned offjust now?

Solution: This is the sound of frictioh caused by expansion and/or contraction of panel or other parts clue to the change of temperature.
