WHEN YOU THINK THAT TROUBLE HAS OCCURRED
Even if these items are checked, when the unit does not recover from the trouble, stop using the air conditioner and consult your dealer.
Symptom Explanation & Check points
Indoor Unit
The unit cannot be operated. • Is the breaker turned on?
The horizontal vane does not move.
The unit cannot be operated for about 3 minutes when restarted.
Mist is discharged from the air
outlet of the indoor unit.
The swing operation of the HORIZONTAL VANE is suspended for a while, then restarted.
The air fl ow direction changes during operation. The direction of the horizontal vane cannot be adjusted with the remote controller.
The operation is stopped for
about 10 minutes in the heat­ing operation.
The unit starts operation by itself when the main power
is turned on, though it isn’t
operated with the remote controller.
Multi system
The indoor unit which is not operating becomes warm and a sound, similar to water fl ow­ing, is heard from the unit.
When heating operation is
selected, operation does not start right away.
Outdoor Unit
The fan of the outdoor unit does not rotate even though
the compressor is running. Even if the fan starts to rotate, it stops soon.
Water leaks from the outdoor unit.
• Is the power supply plug connected?
• Is the ON timer set? Page 8
• Are the horizontal vane and the vertical vane installed correctly? Page 9
• This protects the unit according to instruc­tions from the microprocessor. Please wait.
• The cool air from the unit rapidly cools mois-
ture in the air inside the room, and it turns
into mist.
• This is for the swing operation of the HORI­ZONTAL VANE to be performed normally.
• When the unit is operated in COOL or DRY mode, if the operation continues with air blowing down for 0.5 to 1 hour, the direction of the air fl ow is automatically set to position (1) to prevent water from condensing and dripping.
• In the heating operation, if the air flow temperature is too low or when defrosting is being done, the horizontal vane is automati­cally set to horizontal position.
• Defrosting of the outdoor unit is being done.
Since this is completed in max.10 minutes,
please wait. (When the outside temperature is too low and humidity is too high, frost is formed.)
• These models are equipped with an auto re­start function. When the main power is turned off without stopping the unit with the remote controller and is turned on again, the unit starts operation automatically in the same mode as the one set with the remote control­ler just before the shutoff of the main power. Refer to “Auto restart function”. Page 6
• A small amount of refrigerant continues to fl ow into the indoor unit even though it is not operating.
• When operation is started during defrosting
of outdoor unit is done, it takes a few minutes (max. 10 minutes) to blow out warm air.
• When the outside temperature is low dur­ing cooling operation, the fan operates intermittently to maintain suffi cient cooling capacity.
• During COOL and DRY operations, pipe or pipe connecting sections are cooled and this causes water to condense.
• In the heating operation, water condensed on the heat exchanger drips down.
• In the heating operation, the defrosting op­eration makes water frozen on the outdoor unit melt and drip down.
