Troubleshooting

You can solve many common air conditioner’s problems yourself, but when in doubt, please
consult with our authorized service center.

Air conditioner will not operate.

Check if

The power supply cord
is unplugged.

Then

A household fuse has
blown or circuit breaker
has tripped.

The CONTROL is turned
to the “off ” position.

The local power has failed.

Firmly plug the power supply cord into an active outlet
with proper voltage.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Make sure
the air conditioner is plugged into a properly grounded
outlet as described in the lnstallation lnstructions.

Turn the CONTROL to the “on” setting.

Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers.

Check if

Then

Too many appliances
are being used on the
same circuit.

Time delay fuse or cir-
cuit breaker of the
wrong capacity is used.

An extension cord is
being used.

You are trying to restart
the air conditioner too
soon after turning UNIT
CONTROL to “off”

Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same
circuit.

Replace with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker
of the correct capacity. See “Electrical requirements” in
the lnstallation lnstructions for the correct capacity.

Do not use an extension cord with this or any other
appliance.

Wait at least 3 minutes after turning CONTROL to “off”
before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner seems to run too much.

The current air condi-
tioner replaced an
older model.

Check if

Then

The air conditioner is in
a heavily occupied
room or heat producing
appliances are in use in
the same room.

The use of more efficient components may cause the
air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but
the total energy consumption will be less, Newer air
conditioners do not emit the “blast” of cold air you may
be accustomed to from older units, but this IS NOT an
indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Re-
fer to the efficiency rating(EER) and capacity rating (in
BTUs/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.
Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try
nt to use beat producing appliances during the hotteds
part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may
be required depending on the size of the room being
cooled.
