Before you call for service...
Troubleshooting Tips Save time and money! Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service.
Normal Operation
You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
Water will collect in the base pan during high numidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.
The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
Abnormal Operation
Problem
Installation Instructions
Air conditioner does not start
Air conditioner does not cool as it should
Air conditioner freezing up
Possible Causes
The air conditioner is unplugged.
The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.
Power failure.
Airflow is restricted.
THERMOSTAT control set too warm.
The air filter is dirty.
The room may have been hot.
Cold air is escaping.
Cooling coils have iced up.
Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
If power failure occurs, turn the OPERATION control to OFF( O ) . When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor overload.
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
Turn the THERMOSTAT knob clockwise to a cooler setting.
Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks. See the operating instructions section.
When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to allow time for the room to cool down.
Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns. Set the air conditioner's vent to the closed position.
See Air Conditioner Freezing Up below.
Set the OPERATION control at fan or HIGH cool with the THERMOSTAT at the warmer position or the temperature at more than 23°C.
