  • Is the power cut off?
  • Is the power plug loose? (If applicable)
  • Is the circuit protection device tripped off?
  • Is voltage higher or lower? (Tested by professionals)
  • Is the TIMER correctly used?

Cooling/Heating effect is poor

Troubleshooting:

  • Is temperature setting appropriate?
  • Is the inlet or outlet blocked?
  • Is the filter dirty?
  • Is the window or the door open?
  • Is low fan speed set?
  • Are there heat sources in the room?

Water leakage of indoor unit

Troubleshooting:

  • The humidity is high.
  • Condensate overflows.
  • Drain hose is loose.

Water leakage of outdoor unit

Troubleshooting:

  • During cooling operation, condensate is generated around the pipes and connection joints.

  • During heating operation, the water on the heat exchanger drips out.

Noise from indoor unit

Troubleshooting:

  • The noise emitted when the fan or compressor relay is switching on or off.
  • When the defrosting operation is started or stopped, there is a sound of refrigerant flowing in the reverse direction.

Indoor unit cannot deliver air

Troubleshooting: 4 In DRY mode, the indoor fan will stop blowing air for 3-12 minutes in order to avoid condensate being vaporised again.
