IssuePossible Causes
Unit does not turn on when pressing ON/OFF button
The Unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three
minutes of being turned off .
The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start
The unit changes from COOL/HEAT mode to FAN mode
The indoor unit emits white mistIn humid regions, a large temperature diff erence between the room’s air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
Both the indoor and outdoor units emit white mist
The indoor unit makes noises
Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises
The outdoor unit makes noisesThe unit will make diff erent sounds based on its current operating mode.
Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unit
The unit emits a bad odor
The fan of the outdoor unit does not operateDuring operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.
Operation is erratic, unpredictable, or unit is unresponsive
operating in the previously selected mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will continue operating
when the temperature fl uctuates again.
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the
defrosting process.
A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion & contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas fl owing through both indoor and outdoor
units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: This noise is normal and is caused by
the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused by temperature changes during
operation can cause squeaking noises.
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This
can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during
operations.
The unit’s fi lters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
Interference from cell phone towers and remote boosters may cause the unit to malfunction. In this case, try the following:
Disconnect the power, then reconnect.
