7.1 Symptoms that are NOT system malfunctions

The following symptoms are NOT system malfunctions:

7.1.1 Symptom: A sound like water flowing is heard

▪ This sound is caused by the refrigerant flowing in the unit.
▪ This sound may be generated when water is flowing away from
the unit during cooling or drying operation.

7.1.2 Symptom: A blowing sound is heard

This sound is generated when the direction of the refrigerant flow is changed (e.g. when switching from cooling to heating).

7.1.3 Symptom: A ticking sound is heard

This sound is generated when the unit slightly expands or contracts with changes in temperature.

7.1.4 Symptom: A whistling sound is heard

This sound is generated by the refrigerant flowing during defrost operation.

7.1.5 Symptom: A clicking sound during operation or idle time is heard

This sound is generated when the refrigerant control valves or electrical parts operate.

7.1.6 Symptom: A clapping sound is heard

This sound is generated when an external device sucks air out of the room (e.g. exhaust fan, extractor hood) while the doors and windows in the room are closed. Open the doors or windows, or turn off the device.

7.1.7 Symptom: The units can give off odours

The unit can absorb the smell of rooms, furniture, cigarettes, etc., and then emit it again.

7.1.8 Symptom: The outdoor fan rotates while the air conditioner is not in operation

After operation has stopped. The outdoor fan continues to
rotate for another 30 seconds for system protection.
While the air conditioner is not in operation. When the outdoor
temperature is very high, the outdoor fan starts to rotate for system protection.

7.2 Solving problems based on error codes

When a problem happens, an error code appears on the user interface. It is important to understand the problem and to take measures before resetting an error code. This should be done by a licensed installer or by your local dealer.
This chapter gives you an overview of all error codes and the content of the error code as it appears on the user interface.
For a more detailed troubleshooting guideline for each error, please see the service manual.
Fault diagnosis by user interface
The user interface can receive an error code from the indoor unit referring to the fault. It is important to understand the problem and take measures before resetting the error code. This should be done by a licensed installer or your local dealer.
