control the direction of the cooled air. Use the tabs to
direct the air right or left (some models). Rotate the

Normal operating sounds

“pinging” or “clicking” sound. The water droplets

• Air movement from the fan.
• Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
• Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window
construction.
• A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by
the modern high-efficiency compressor cycling on
and off.
• Improve your home's insulation. Seal doors and
windows. Close fireplace flue.
• Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your
house. Add awnings.
• Make sure drapes or furniture do not block airflow
from your air conditioner.
• Turn lights and appliances off when they are not
needed.
• Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic
add to the air conditioner's cooling load.
• Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the
hottest part of the day.
• Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.
• Use exhaust vent fans while cooking, doing laundry,
or bathing.
