OPERATING SOUNDS

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped

loose by vacuum cleaner or furniture.

● If plugged in, fuse could have blown or

circuit breaker may have tripped.

●

Curtain, blinds or furniture blocking the top or

the front of the air conditioner will restrict air flow.

●

Thermostat Control may not be set high enough.
Move the knob to a higher number. Highest
setting should provide maximum cooling.

● Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at least

every

30

days.

●

Room may have been very hot when air
conditioner was first turned on. Allow time

for it to cool down.

●

Cold air may be escaping through open
furnace floor registers and cold air returns.

● Ventilation Control may be set at OPEN

position, allowing hot outside air to enter

the room.

● Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, move

the Selector Switch to

HI

FAN and the

Thermostat Control to a lower number.

● Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be

heard when compressor cycles on and off. This

is normal.

● Fan runs continuously when Selector

Switch is in COOL or FAN position.

This is normal.

WATER DRIPPING
OUTSIDE

WATER DRIPPING

INSIDE

WATER IN BASE PAN

(ON OUTDOOR SIDE)

● Excess water may overflow in extremely hot

●

Air conditioner must be installed level or
slightly to the outside for proper water disposal.

● This is normal for a short period in areas with

little humidity; normal for a longer period in
very humid areas. Moisture removed from
indoor air drains to rear of cabinet where it is
picked up by a

outdoor condenser coil.
