Troubleshooting
Problem: The unit does not operate immediately after restarting it.
Solution: The anti-short cycle timer prevents the unit from operating immediately to keep it from overloading. The unit will start in 3 minutes.
Problem: The unit does not operate.
Solution: Verify the following;
- The power plug is properly inserted into the wall receptacle.
- There has not been a power failure.
- The circuit breaker is switched on/fuses are good.
Problem: The temperature does not change.
Solution: Verify that the unit is not operating in Fan mode. If it is, select a different mode.
Problem: The unit is not producing warm/ cool air.
Solution: Verify the following;
- Temperature setting on remote control is higher/lower than the current temperature.
- Air filter is not clogged with dirt.
- If the unit has just been turned on, wait 3 minutes for the anti-short cycle timer to expire.
- Air flow is unobstructed.
- Line size and length is correct and does not exceed factory recommendations.
- Operating mode is heat/cool.
- If unit is not producing warm air, is it set to Cool mode?
- Remote control is not for a cooling-only unit.
- That the unit has not been installed in direct sunlight. If so, hang curtains or shades on windows to filter the sun and increase unit efficiency.
Problem: The unit makes a bubbling sound
Solution: A bubbling sound may be heard;
- When the refrigerant is circulating through the compressor.
- By the drain pump inside the unit when you press the Power button.
Problem: Water is dripping from the air flow blades.
Solution: If the unit has been running for an extended period of time with the blades fully open, adjust the blades to mid-position to alleviate condensation formation.
Problem: The remote control is not working.
Solution: Verify that;
- Batteries are not depleted.
- Batteries are correctly installed.
- Nothing is blocking the remote control sensor.
- No strong fluorescent or neon lighting is near the unit, which may interrupt the signal.
Problem: The unit does not turn on/off with the wired remote control.
Solution: Ensure that the wired remote control is not set for Group Control.
Problem: Indicators on the digital display flash.
Solution: Press the Power button on the remote control to turn the unit off. Then switch the circuit break off and then on again.
